Love asks for nothing. Only personalities want something.

If I say, if I talk about, 'I want to be enlightened...' it implies a future. And there isn't any.

It's not possible to have a problem without believing a prior thought. To notice this simple truth is the beginning of peace.

So what is it with your mother that you haven't worked out yet?

Identify your painful thought, question it, and wake yourself up. No one else can.

That's what every uncomfortable feeling is for-that's what pain is for, what money is for, what everything in the world is for: your self-realization.

To exclude anything that appears in your universe is not love. Love joins with everything. It doesn't exclude the monster. It doesn't avoid the nightmare - it looks forward to it.
