The purpose of meditation is to stop thinking for a time, wait for the fog of thought to thin, and glimpse the spirit within.

Love is already inside us as our true being; we do not have to make it appear.

It's hard enough to change ourselves. We can't expect other people to change so that we feel better. We have to take the journey ourselves.

Seeking can become stressful when you apply the same laws that you apply in the material world - hard work, exacting plans, driving ambition, and attachment to outcome.

The secret to a happy life is to recognize that no matter what the situation, there's a creative opportunity in it. Also, finding meaning and purpose in your life to make a contribution.

As you embrace the present and become one with it, and merge with it, you will experience a fire, a glow, a sparkle of ecstasy throbbing in every sentient being. As you begin to experience this exultation of spirit in everything that is alive, as you become intimate with it, joy will be born within you, and you will drop the terrible burdens of defensiveness, resentment, and hurtfulness... then you will become lighthearted, carefree, joyous, and free.

The love reflected from another person has its source in your own heart.
