Once you have made peace with the present moment, see what happens, what you can do or choose to do, or rather what life does through you. There are three words that convey the secret of the art of living, the secret of all success and happiness: One With Life. Being one with life is being one with Now. You then realize that you don't live your life, but life lives you. Life is the dancer, and you are the dance.

Presence is when you're no longer waiting for the next moment, believing that the next moment will be more fulfilling than this one.

Creativity arises out of the state of thoughtless presence in which you are much more awake than when you are engrossed in thinking.

Death is not the opposite of life. Life has no opposite. Death is the opposite of birth.

Man made God in his own image.

Many people are so imprisoned in their minds that the beauty of nature does not really exist for them. They might say, 'What a pretty flower,' but that's just a mechanical mental labeling. Because they are not still, not present, they don't truly see the flower, don't feel it's essence, it's holiness-just as they don't know themselves, don't feel their own essence, their own holiness.

Don't let a mad world tell you that success is anything other than a successful present moment.
