There's something in everybody that longs for that awakening to be more true to yourself.

Most humans live in the mindset that this moment is only important because it's getting them to the next one.

Give your fullest attention to whatever the moment presents.

Your car breaks down in the middle of the night. It's raining. It's cold. And you have to change the tire of your car. You cannot really enjoy that it is cold and wet, but you can bring acceptance to it. Peace flows into it.

Waiting is a state of mind. Basically, it means that you want the future; you don't want the present. You don't want what you've got, and you want what you haven't got. With every kind of waiting, you unconsciously create inner conflict between your here and now, where you don't want to be, and the projected future, where you want to be. This greatly reduces the quality of your life by making you lose the present.

If there isn't an emanation of love and joy, complete presence and openness toward all beings, then it is not enlightenment.

If people believe the world is here to satisfy them, whenever they begin to encounter their limitations, they become unhappy.
