The habit patterns of the human mind are very strong and make it seem that the hard way is easy and the easy way is hard.

So the single most vital step on your journey towards enlightenment is this: learn to disidentify from your mind.

No thought can encapsulate the vastness of the totality. Reality is a unified whole, but thought cuts it up into fragments. Every thought implies a perspective, and every perspective, by its very nature, implies limitation, which ultimately means that it is not true, at least not absolutely. Only the whole is true, but the whole cannot be spoken or thought.

Everybody who is not awake spiritually is totally identified with and run by their thinking mind - the incessant voice in the head.

Thought alone cannot recognize spiritual truths no matter how highly developed thought is. It's impossible.

Don't wait to be successful at some future point, have a successful relationship with the present moment and be fully present in whatever you are doing. That is success.

To meet everything and everyone through stillness instead of mental noise is the greatest gift you can offer the universe.
