What's important is to be supportive of all who practice. Anyone on any level, even if they don't call it self-discovery, who is seeking to awaken to their own potentials and possibilities, to the inner freedom, deserves your respect and support.

It is a tremendous waste of energy to try to block anyone else. That same energy could be applied to furthering your own success.

Happiness comes from living in the moment, this moment, now, right here. If you are in obscure states of mind, you won't see what this moment is. You won't realize its beauty.

Focus on the center of the chest, relax. Imagine a rose there. Feel it unfolding. Let yourself go and ignore your thoughts.

No matter how many times you have failed you must keep going forward. Only when you have become humble will you begin to grasp the meaning of life.

That's what self-discovery seems to mean to most people. You're going to beat yourself up. You're going to reduce what you're supposed to be and do to a set of rules so you can defy them, or so you can perform them and feel smug.

In self-giving you must be so careful of egotism. You must be so careful when you are aiding others in their liberation not to have a sense of self.
