When you are suffering, when you are unhappy, stay totally with what is Now. Unhappiness or problems cannot survive in the Now.

The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes very destructive. To put it more accurately... you usually don't use it at all. It uses you.

Can you look without the voice in your head commenting, drawing conclusions, comparing, or trying to figure something out?

For spiritual teachers, it is important not to identify with the image people inevitably have of them.

You are here to enable the divine purpose of the Universe to unfold. That is how important you are!

All true artists, whether they know it or not, create from a place of no-mind, from inner stillness.

One way of pointing to this realization is, when you think you have big problems, ask yourself, "What problem do I have at this moment?" Usually, you will find that you don't have a problem at this moment because you're sitting here and you're breathing, you're looking out the window, and it's fine.
