How do we awaken to this true Self? By going within and putting our attention on the silent presence in our heart - the silent witness that is detached from sensory experience and at the same time enjoys that experience in complete freedom.

In the teen years, we often confuse self-image with self-esteem. Teenagers are very influenced by the image others have of them. All sorts of complexes come from this.

You become the victim of the past, and your tormentor today is your self left over from yesterday.

I remember the past, and I learn from it. I rejoice and celebrate in the present, and I re-imagine the future. Now is the moment that never ends.

When you meet someone, you can silently send them a blessing, wishing them happiness, joy and laughter. This kind of silent giving is very powerful.

So many things happen for every event, and if you try to manipulate it, it means you are struggling against the whole universe, and that's just silly.

The more intimately you come in contact with your own Being, the simpler things look and the easier they are to deal with.
