Your unhappiness ultimately arises not from the circumstances of your life but from the conditioning of your mind.

When you always want the next thing, every human being becomes a means to an end.

Spiritual Awakening is awakening from the dream of thought.

The moment you become aware of the ego in you, it is strictly speaking no longer the ego, but just an old, conditioned mind-pattern. Ego implies unawareness. Awareness and ego cannot coexist.

Joy does not come from what you do, it flows into what you do and thus into this world from deep within you.

When the mind loses its density, you become translucent, like the flower. Spirit - the formless - shines through you into the world.

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.
