Even my desire to become free or enlightened is just another craving for fulfillment or completion in the future. So don’t seek to become free or desire or “achieve” enlightenment. Become present.

Through being "right", you feel superior and through feeling superior you strengthen your sense of self. In reality, of course, you are only strengthening the illusion of ego.

Quality requires your Presence.

Whatever you think people are withholding from you-praise, appreciation, assistance, loving care, and so on-give it to them.

The more you live in the present moment, the more the fear of death disappears.

Each person's life – each lifeform, in fact – represents a world, a unique way in which the universe experiences itself.

And so I came to understand why some masters sometimes say, "You are already enlightened."
