If the world does not shine brightly, even just the physical, sensual perception after meditation, you have not meditated. You have sat and thought of things that were not real.

Meditation is like taking a shower. You are going to wash all the dirt off that you have picked up since your last shower and be clean.

Love has very little to do with a person. It comes from us. You can love a surprisingly great number of people.

As a human being you are capable of a higher level of perception than you may now be cognizant of. You are not really who you think you are. There are many selves inside you, not just one.

If President Bush does a lousy job, then he'll lose power. If the guy at McDonalds who's selling burgers does a great job, then he'll be much more powerful than President Bush.

When you're happy it's pretty tough to knock you over. You can handle whatever comes along in life.

It is better when you are in the world. You know how much pain there is. You can tell how established you are in the light. To remove yourself from the things you desire or things you find difficult to deal with is no answer.
