The planet will not survive another hundred years of the same state of consciousness that produced the external effects of recent history.

When you want to arrive at your goal more than you want to be doing what you are doing, you become stressed.

Instead of asking, “what do I want from life?,” a more powerful question is, “what does life want from me?

This is why very often you find educated people in the media who look at spiritual books but they are so identified with their thought process, they don't get it. They write reviews or articles and they miss the whole point. They can't see the essence. It's not their fault; it's not them personally. It's the human condition and its mind-identified state. And intelligence in itself doesn't help. You can have two or three Ph.D.s; it doesn't get you any closer to spiritual realization. In fact, you might be more distant.
