That in you which recognizes madness as madness (even if it is your own) is sanity, is the arising awareness, is the end of insanity.

To meet everything and everyone through stillness instead of mental noise is the greatest gift you can offer the universe.

Silence is helpful, but you don't need it in order to find stillness. Even when there is noise, you can be aware of the stillness underneath the noise, of the space in which the noise arises. That is the inner space of pure awareness, consciousness itself.

Silence is Golden; it has divine power and immense energy. Try to pay more attention to the silence than to the sounds. Paying attention to outer silence creates inner silence: the mind becomes still. Every sound is born out of silence, dies back into silence, and during its life span is surrounded by silence. Silence enables the sound to be. It is an intrinsic but unmanifested part of every sound, every musical note, every song, and every word. The unmanifested is present in this world as silence. All you have to do is pay attention to it.

What is God? The eternal one life underneath all the forms of life. What is love? To feel the presence of the one life deep within yourself and all creatures; to be it! Therefore, all love is the love of God.

Awareness is conscious connection with universal intelligence. Another word for it is Presence: consciousness without thought.

Don't Seek Happiness. If you seek it, you won't find it, because seeking is the antithesis of happiness
