I usually congratulate people when they tell me, "I don't know who I am anymore".

Fulfill me, make me happy, make me feel safe, tell me who I am. The world cannot give you those things, and when you no longer have such expectations, all self created suffering comes to an end.

If it is the quality of your consciousness at this moment that determines the future, then what is it that determines the quality of your consciousness? Your degree of presence. So the only place where true change can occur and where the past can be dissolved is the Now.

The teaching arises out of the stillness. But when I'm alone, there's only the stillness, and that is my favorite place.

The present moment is all you ever have.

In whatever way change comes, the important thing is to take responsibility for this moment. Then, life becomes cooperative.

Sometimes people need to experience great loss to really be driven deeper.
