Enlightened groups can exist, as long as the individuals' sense of identity is not derived from a mentally defined image of us.

The most rigid structures, the most impervious to change, will collapse first.

Nothing that you plan is going to work out. Everything is going to be totally different than the way you expected. And things will constantly challenge you. Wherever you look the world is not as solid it seems to be.

Surrender becomes so much easier when you realize the fleeting nature of all experiences and that the world cannot give you anything of lasting value. You then continue to meet people, to be involved in experience and activities, but without the wants and fears of the egoic self. That is to say, you no longer demand that a situation, person, place, or event should satisfy you or make you happy. It's passing and imperfect nature is allowed to be.

Things and conditions can give you pleasure but they cannot give you joy- joy arises from within.

Being is not only beyond but also deep within every form as its innermost invisible and indestructible essence. This means that it is accessible to you now as your own deepest self, your true nature.

If your mind is still... You can sense the peace that emanates from the earth.
