Silence is Golden; it has divine power and immense energy. Try to pay more attention to the silence than to the sounds. Paying attention to outer silence creates inner silence: the mind becomes still. Every sound is born out of silence, dies back into silence, and during its life span is surrounded by silence. Silence enables the sound to be. It is an intrinsic but unmanifested part of every sound, every musical note, every song, and every word. The unmanifested is present in this world as silence. All you have to do is pay attention to it.

Present-moment awareness creates a gap not only in the stream of mind but also in the past-future continuum. Nothing truly new and creative can come into this world except through that gap, that clear space of infinite possibility.

Things and conditions can give you pleasure but they cannot give you joy- joy arises from within.

Thought alone cannot recognize spiritual truths no matter how highly developed thought is. It's impossible.

The formless dimension of life is this moment. This moment is timeless and formless - the eternal itself.

When you are present, you can allow the mind to be as it is without getting entangled in it.

Everything is shown up by being exposed to the light, and whatever is exposed to the light itself becomes light.
