In you, as in each human being, there is a dimension of consciousness far deeper than thought. It is the very essence of who you are. We may call it presence, awareness, the unconditioned consciousness.

Awareness takes over from thinking. Instead of being in charge of your life, thinking becomes the servant of awareness.

If a fish is born in your aquarium and you call him John, write out a birth certificate, tell him about his family history, and in two minutes he gets eaten by another fish - that's tragic. But it's only tragic because you projected a separate self where there was none. You got hold of a fraction of dynamic process, a molecular dance, and a separate entity out of it.

The great arises out of small things that are honored and cared for.

God is beyond all the forms of life, but also indwells every form of life as their essence. God is both beyond and within.

When life takes away the forms that you thought were the foundation of your life, what's left? The life that needs no foundation - that is the foundation. The formless. The essence.

You get there by realizing you are already there.
