Each person's life – each lifeform, in fact – represents a world, a unique way in which the universe experiences itself.

Through death you find yourself, because you no longer identify with form. You realize you are not the form with which you had identified ­ neither the physical nor the psychological form of "me". That form goes. It dissolves and who you are beyond form emerges through the opening where that form was. One could almost say that every form of life obscures God.

Love, joy, and peace cannot flourish until you have freed yourself from mind dominance.

Your primary purpose is to be here fully, and to be total in whatever you do so that the preciousness of the present moment does not become reduced to a means to an end. And there you have your life purpose. That's the very foundation of your life.

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

Acceptance means: For now, this is what this situation, this moment, requires me to do, and so I do it willingly.

Living up to an image that you have of yourself or that other people have of you is inauthentic living.
