I love to not defend ever and to open my mind and take in what can always add to me, not take away from me.

Every mind deserves to be free. When the mind is free, that's the end of suffering.

You can't drop concepts. You can only shine a little flashlight on them as you do inquiry, an you see that what you thought was true wasn't. And when the truth is seen, there's nothing you can do to make the lie true for you again.

What would it be like to let go of wanting things to be other than they are?

Thinking that what you want equals what's best for you is a dead end.

To think that I know what's best for anyone else is to be out of my business. Even in the name of love, it is pure arrogance, and the result is tension, anxiety, and fear. Do I know what's right for me? That is my only business. Let me work with that before I try to solve problems for you.

If we are in silence - in absolute silence with no thoughts - for 10 minutes, it's only a thought that tells us we were silent for 10 minutes. Our only proof is a thought.
