The ego always looks toward the next moment for some kind of fulfillment.

I never went out and said, "I want to do this." I never do that. I wait for things to come to me, either within or without, and I go along with it.

When you make the present moment, instead of past and future, the focal point of your life, your ability to enjoy what you do and with it the quality of your life increases dramatically.

Each human needs to find his or her timeless and formless essence identity

Nonresistance, nonjudgment, and nonattachment are the three aspects of true freedom and enlightened living.

I sometimes get a distorted view of how quickly humans are evolving, because I meet many people who are evolving beyond ego. Then I have to switch on the TV to realize, "Oh, no, it is not happening to everybody yet." But it is happening.

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