Life is the constant opportunity to wake up.

Suffering over things that have happened to us is nothing more than an argument with the past.

The world you live in is 100 percent your own responsibility. If you don't like your world, it doesn't work to say, "Well, it's my mother's fault. She taught me how to think."

I use the word inquiry as synonymous with The Work...Inquiry is a way to end confusion and to experience internal peace, even in a world of apparent chaos. Above all else, inquiry is about realizing that all the answers we ever need are always available inside us.

If I think the environment in the world needs to be cleaned up, let me clean up my own environment. Let me clean up the environment in my head - let me work with that pollution and that ecosystem.

It doesn´t come later. Everything you´re supposed to do is here right now.

If you realized how beautiful you are, you would fall at your own feet.
