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.

Man made God in his own image.

Whenever you step out of the noise of thinking, that is meditation, and a different state of consciousness arises.

In the eyes of the ego, self-esteem and humility are contradictory. In truth, they are one and the same.

For the ego to survive, it must make time - past and future - more important than the present moment.

If we don't change, if the egoic consciousness continues, I don't believe that humanity as a species can survive, or at least human civilization can survive, for another hundred years.

Our animal friends’ non-reactive and forgiving natures can teach us positive spiritual lessons on a daily basis.
