Self-realization is not the awareness that this world is a dream, that's a part of self-realization.

I realized after being married for some time that it wasn't enough. It wasn't enough to lead an individual life where I loved on person and we created a world together.

I was a traditional teacher for a time, but my students would ride the energy. I wanted to free people not give them a placebo.

Life is an endless matrix of existence. And as you experience it in that pure form, that's what we call enlightenment.

Nirvikalpa Samadhi means that you've gone off the board; you've gone off the map. There is no way to describe it. You have attained liberation and are no longer bound by the cycle of existence. You just are, and yet you're not, at the same time.

If there is no way out and confrontation and battle is inevitable, one can use power and strategy, balance and wisdom and enlightenment to win, of course. But the best battle is the battle that is never fought.

If you can't feel grateful, if you're discouraged or depressed, then think of the fact that things could be a lot worse than they are.
