Life is learning how to deal with traffic. It requires patience, a good sense of timing, and sometimes not giving in to the traffic but reshaping your life.

Everything is perception. A hallucination is a perception of a certain reality. It is a perception of a certain state of mind.

The kundalini energy is often compared to a snake that is coiled up. Because it is coiled up it can spring very quickly. It can jump and extend itself very far.

My favorite cause is the enlightenment of others. I think that is the best place to put money. You get the highest yield in terms of karma on your money.

Sitting around idly contemplating doesn't produce much. In work you can discipline your attention, forget about your misery.

You may have thousands of lives to go between now and before you're a real hard-core seeker of enlightenment, hardcore meaning you just love it.

If you think it makes a difference if I have ten thousand sports cars, ten million girlfriends and lead a very flashy life ... I don't think you should work with any teacher because you don't know what it is all about yet.
