You need to learn to be with the suffering that inevitably arises in your life.

The particular egoic patterns that you react to most strongly in others and misperceive as their identity tend to be the same patterns that are also in you, but that you are unable or unwilling to detect within yourself.

If you walk into a forest - you hear all kinds of subtle sounds - but underneath there is an all pervasive silence.

Don't Seek Happiness. If you seek it, you won't find it, because seeking is the antithesis of happiness

Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness.

Are you stressed? Are you so busy getting to the future that the present is reduced to a means of getting there? Stress is caused by being "here" but wanting to be "there" or being in the present but wanting to be in the future. It's a split that tears you apart inside. To create and live with such an inner split is insane. The fact that everybody else is doing it doesn't make it any less insane.

Whatever you accept completely, you go beyond. If you fight it, you're stuck with it.
