...there are two ways of being unhappy: One is not getting what you want, and the other is getting what you want.

An enlightened person or business is not concerned primarily with making money, because when you are concerned with making money you want the future more than the present. Whenever you want the future more than you want the present, true intelligence cannot flow into what you do, because it can do so only when you are totally aligned with the present moment.

What could be more futile, more insane, than to create inner resistance to something that already is?

Many people in this world are still so identified with every thought that arises in their head. There is not the slightest space of awareness there.

Welcome to the present moment. Here. Now. The only moment there ever is.

Man Made 'God' in his own image. The eternal, the infinate, the unnameable was reduced to a mental idol that you had to believe in and worship as 'my god' or 'our god'.

Thought subsides when you pet your dog or you have a purring cat on your chest. Even just watching an animal can take you out of your mind. It is more deeply connected with the source of life than most humans, and that rootedness in Being transmits itself to you. Millions of people who otherwise would be completely lost in the conceptual reality of their mind are kept sane by living with an animal.
