Whenever you deeply accept this moment as it is - no matter what form it takes - you are still, you are at peace.

When you meet another human being, you meet the physical self, then you meet the psychological self that's behind it, which is their mental conditioning, their patterns of behavior and so on. And then, there is a deeper level to every human being that transcends all of that. I can only sense that in another human being and relate to another human being on that deeper level if I have gone deep enough within myself.

For most people, spiritual awakening is a gradual process. Rarely does it happen all at once. When it does, though, it is usually brought about by intense suffering.

Acceptance looks like a passive state, but in reality it brings something entirely new into this world. That peace, a subtle energy vibration, is consciousness.

True communication is communion-the realization of oneness, which is love.

If you are in the habit of creating suffering for yourself, then you are probably creating suffering for others too

Compassion is the awareness of a deep bond between yourself and all creatures.
