The moment you realize you are not present, you are present.

Some people say, the world can be so alive! It always is, you just do not know it because of the screen of your thinking. You notice it as you become more awake.

Beyond the beauty of external forms, there is more here: something that cannot be named, something ineffable, some deep, inner, holy essence. Whenever and wherever there is beauty, this inner essence shines through somehow. It only reveals itself to you when you are present.

Much suffering, much unhappiness arises when you take each thought that comes into your head for the truth.

Whereas the notion of purpose before was always associated with future, there is now a deeper purpose that can only be found in the present, through denial of time.

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

Pain is inevitable as long as you are identified with your mind.
