When we work with our thinking, then to have great wealth is the same as to have nothing. That's the only freedom.

A mind that doesn't question its judgements, makes the world very small and dangerous.

There is no thought or situation that you can't put up against inquiry. Every thought, every person, every apparent problem is here for the sake of your freedom.

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

After you've been doing inquiry for a while, if you have the thought "She doesn't love me," you just get the immediate turnaround with a smile: "Oh, I'm not loving myself in this moment."

Pay close attention to the particular thoughts you use to deprive yourself of happiness.

No one has ever been able to control his thinking, although people may tell the story of how they have. I don't let go of my thoughts-I meet them with understanding. Then they let go of me.
