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

Only the truth of who you are, if realized, will set you free.

The eternal present is the space within which your whole life unfolds, the one factor that remains constant. Life is now. There was never a time when your life was not now, nor will there ever be.

We would destroy ourselves and the planet if no change happens, because of the amplification of the egoic state through science and technology.

Many people are so imprisoned in their minds that the beauty of nature does not really exist for them. They might say, 'What a pretty flower,' but that's just a mechanical mental labeling. Because they are not still, not present, they don't truly see the flower, don't feel it's essence, it's holiness-just as they don't know themselves, don't feel their own essence, their own holiness.

Let the end of the world be inside you, then you don't need to fear the end of the world out there.

There is nothing that strengthens the ego more than being right. Being right is identification with a mental position - a perspective, an opinion, a judgement, a story. For you to be right, of course, you need someone else to be wrong, as so the ego loves to make wrong in order to be right.
