The person who finds peace inside and lives it, is the one who teaches what true peace is.

The mind is so tricky. It will say, "No one cares. Is it true? Well, someone does. Let's see: So-and-so doesn't care. Well, maybe they do. Well, there is someone who doesn't care." It just shifts and shifts and shifts, so it can keep all of its concepts intact.

Who would you be without the thought that happiness depends on someone else?

If you want to clean up the environment, start with your mind. It starts there!

Happiness is the natural state for someone who knows that there's nothing to know.

So, how can we live in joy - and how can we know that we're supposed to live in joy the way people tell us to - when we're believing thoughts that bring on sadness and frustration and anger and alienation and loneliness? When we're believing those thoughts, we think that's the world, rather than what we're believing about the world. We're like lost little children.

If I had a prayer, it would be this: "God, spare me from the desire for love, approval, or appreciation. Amen."
