Watchfulness is experiencing a sudden glimpse of something without any qualifications - just the sudden glimpse itself.

It's no use trying to be different than you are.

The strongest of us are those that are spiritually strong, and a spiritual warrior is one of vulnerability.

In the process of burning out these confusions, we discover enlightenment. If the process were otherwise, the awakened state of mind would be a product dependent upon cause and effect and therefore liable to dissolution. Anything which is created must, sooner or later, die. If enlightenment were created in such a way, there would always be a possibility of ego reasserting itself, causing a return to the confused state. Enlightenment is permanent because we have not produced it; we have merely discovered it.

Enlightenment is ego's ultimate disappointment.

The ideal of warriorship is that the warrior should be sad and tender, and because of that, the warrior can be very brave as well.
