Inspiration is that state in which mind and heart are connected. When you feel inspired you find yourself thrust into a world where ordinary objects and events are full of light, as if illuminated from within. This inner light is truth, and when you suddenly see the truth, we gain insight, clarity, and joy.

Everyone is acting from his own level of consciousness. This is all we can ask of ourselves or anyone else. However hurtful someone is, he is doing the best he can, given the limits of his consciousness.

When we meditate, we go beyond the swirl of thoughts, memories and emotions that tend to keep us stuck in our ego's story of who we are. We enter an expanded state of awareness and discover our own inner fountain of joy, a source of happiness that isn't dependent on anyone or anything.

Most human behavior is nothing other than the avoidance of pain and the pursuit of pleasure.

The most satisfying project you will ever undertake-and a mark of a complete human being-is to discover how to build a sense of happiness that no one can take away from you.

I am beneath or above no one. When I am independent of the good or bad opinion of others, I stand strong in my own divine power.

Awareness isn't passive. It directly leads to action (or inaction).
