I went through times of self-hate, thinking how undeveloped spiritual I was. Everyone else in the ashram, a thousand people, nobody had a girlfriend or boyfriend. I did.

Spend time all day and all night monitoring your thoughts, constantly keeping them in a high plateau. Avoid places and people that pull your energy down.

I seemed to be leading a very incongruous life from the point of view of the definition of the community I was in.

Who we are varies according to our awareness. When you are more aware, you are someone else than when you are less aware.

In the beginning, when you are meditating, just ignore thought. Shine it on. Then after you are comfortable sitting there, try selectively eliminating negative thoughts, thoughts that agitate the mind.

The mystical kundalini energy has some, I don't know if you'd call them limitations, but there are certain operational factors which you should understand about it.

I like to be weird, kinky, straight, in and out, up and down. I like to blow up people's expectations, create them, destroy them, and dissolve them. It is fun.
