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.

The 'soul' is one of the words you can use to talk about your innermost being, the essence of who you are.

You pick up the phone and you talk to somebody. There's a voice on the other end and you say what you have to say. This is how I perceive my life. I don't see myself as "Oh, I'm doing this great thing because I'm going to give this talk, now everybody's going to be transformed."

I was deeply identified with a very unhappy, egoic entity I believed was "me." For years I lived in depression and continuous anxiety. One night I couldn't stand it anymore. The thought came into my mind, "I cannot live with myself any longer."

How’ is always more important that ‘what.’ See if you can give much more attention to the doing than to the result that you want to achieve through it.

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

Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have. Make the Now the primary focus of your life.
