The goal of society in general is to succeed in the world, whereas the goal of enlightenment is to transcend beyond it.

The body is like a companion, a friendly pet that follows one around...One can continue to own the body and be responsible for it without identifying with it as one's identity.

You can't do a good job unless you're keen on it yourself.

The joy of God is so exquisite that any sacrifice is worth the effort and seeming pain.

One makes a gift of one's life and endeavors by sanctifying it with love, and devotion and selfless service. When seeking to uplift others, we are uplifted in the process. Every kind thought or smile therefore benefits oneself as well as all the world.

...just being ordinary in and of itself is and expression of divinity; the truth of one's real self can be discovered through the pathway of everyday life.

The decision to overlook the seeming inequities of life instead of reacting to them is a choice.
