If I thought it was my identity to be a spiritual teacher, that would be a delusion. It's not an identity. It's simply a function in this world.

Acceptance of the unacceptable is the greatest source of grace in this world.

Now if a teacher gives you a practice, he or she would perhaps point out when you don't need it anymore or you realize yourself when you don't need it anymore.

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

In essence, you are neither inferior nor superior to anyone. True self-esteem and true humility arise out of that realization. In the eyes of the ego, self-esteem and humility are contradictory. In truth, they are one and the same.

We would destroy ourselves and the planet if no change happens, because of the amplification of the egoic state through science and technology.

Attention is the key to transformation- and full attention also implies acceptance.
