Give up defining yourself - to yourself or to others. You won't die. You will come to life. And don't be concerned with how others define you. When they define you, they are limiting themselves, so it's their problem. Whenever you interact with people, don't be there primarily as a function or a role, but as the field of conscious Presence. You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.

The greatest achievement of humanity is not its works of art, science, or technology, but the recognition of its own dysfunction.

Each human needs to find his or her timeless and formless essence identity

Throughout history humans have inflicted countless violent, cruel, and hurtful acts on each other, and continue to do so. Are they all to be condemned; are they all guilty? Or are those acts simply expressions of unconsciousness, an evolutionary stage that we are now growing out of? Jesus’ words, “Forgive them for they do not know what they do,” also apply to yourself.

It is much more likely that help comes in when what you are doing is done while you are in a state of inner peace, rather than resistance.

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

You have to be still for a moment to even notice that there is silence outside.
