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

My happiness isn't dependent on anyone else's.

There's never a mistake in the universe. So if your partner is angry, good. If there are things about him that you consider flaws, good, because these flaws are your own, you're projecting them, and you can write them down, inquire, and set yourself free. People go to India to find a guru, but you don't have to: you're living with one. Your partner will give you everything you need for your own freedom.

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

Every mind deserves to be free.

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

When I turn the thought around - the thought that war, let's say war in Iraq, should stop - the turnaround is the war in myself should stop.
