When you get into your car, after you close the door, pause for a few seconds and observe the flow of your breath. Become aware of a silent but powerful sense of presence.

It is through gratitude for the present moment that the spiritual dimension of life opens up.

All you need to know and observe in yourself is this: Whenever you feel superior or inferior to anyone, that's the ego in you.

When another recognizes you, that recognition draws the dimension of Being more fully into this world through both of you. That is the love that redeems the world.

Your unhappiness ultimately arises not from the circumstances of your life but from the conditioning of your mind.

Some people are called upon to do great things externally in this world by creating some new structure that reflects their awakening consciousness. Other people are not called to go out into the world and create great big things externally. Their purpose is to let consciousness flow into whatever they do - to do everything in a sacred manner.

The present moment holds the key to liberation. But you cannot find the present moment as long as you are your mind.
