Allow your dog to take you for a walk every day. It's good for the body and it's good for the soul.

Nothing that is of real value can be lost, only the false dissolves.

Only if you resist what happens are you at the mercy of what happens, and the world will determine your happiness and unhappiness

Stop looking outside for scraps of pleasure or fulfillment, for validation, security, or love - you have a treasure within that is infinitely greater than anything the world can offer.

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.

The word enlightenment conjures up the idea of some superhuman accomplishment, and the ego likes to keep it that way, but it is simply your natural state of felt oneness with Being. It is a state of connectedness with something immeasurable and indestructible, something that, almost paradoxically, is essentially you and yet is much greater than you. It is finding your true nature beyond name and form.

You are not separate from the whole. You are one with the sun, the earth, the air. You don’t have a life. You are life.
