Because we all carry the Truth within us as our essence, we recognize it immediately.

The moment you realize you are not present, you are present.

When you are present, when your attention is fully in the Now, Presence will flow into and transform what you do. There will be a quality and power in it. You are present when what you are doing is not primarily a means to an end (money, prestige, winning) but fulfilling in itself, when there is joy and aliveness in what you do.

To listen to the silence, wherever you are, is an easy and direct way of becoming present.

The ego says, ‘I shouldn’t have to suffer,’ and that thought makes you suffer so much more. It is a distortion of the truth, which is always paradoxical. The truth is that you need to say yes to suffering before you can transcend it.

Knowing yourself is to be rooted in Being, instead of lost in your mind.

To recognize one's own insanity is, of course, the arising of sanity, the beginning of healing and transcendence.
