Don't follow the crowd. The crowd doesn't get there. They just run round and around in a crazy race. It never ends.

Theoretically, everyone's inner being knows everything. There is a part of us that is aware of all things. But that doesn't necessarily do us a whole lot of good unless we are conscious of that.

Keep your mind centered on that which leads to light, intensively. Accept no substitute.

The possibilities for immortality are endless. Here you sit reading these words, a butterfly resting on a flower!

You don't have to take drugs to be happy. You don't have to drink to be happy. You don't have to have people around you who love you to be happy. You don't need anything except the clarity of your own mind.

My feeling is that drugs and alcohol take away from the pure experience of meditation. That does not mean that occasionally, a person couldn't have a glass of wine or a drink.

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.
