Are you polluting the world or cleaning up the mess? You are responsible for your inner space; nobody else is, just as you are responsible for the planet. As within, so without: If humans clear inner pollution, then they will also cease to create outer pollution.

By watching the mechanics of the mind, you step out of its resistance patterns, and you can then allow the present moment to be.

Many expressions that are in common usage, and sometimes the structure of language itself, reveal the fact that people don't know who they are. You say: "He lost his life" or "my life," as if life were something that you can possess or lose. The truth is: you don't have a life, you are life. The One Life, the one consciousness that pervades the entire universe and takes temporary form to experience itself as a stone or blade of grass, as an animal, a person, a star or a galaxy. Can you sense deep within that you already know that? Can you sense that you already are That?

Being spiritual has nothing to do with what you believe and everything to do with your state of consciousness.

When the mind loses its density, you become translucent, like the flower. Spirit - the formless - shines through you into the world.

Allow whatever this moment contains. No matter what event or happening or situation, say 'yes' to it. Allow it to be.

The pas has no power to stop you from being present now. Only your grievance about the past can do that.
