Philosophers are all caught up in their philosophies. That's their house of cards. Religious leaders are caught up in their religious movements to the point where they forget about freedom. Everybody's got their drama going.

Existence is the awareness of awareness.

Krishna once said to Arjuna: Consider the past and future with an equal mind, and pass the peanut M&M's.

If you abuse power, you will be burned and then you will learn...if you live.

I meet people who neglect career. Their lives aren't centered at all. They don't have much money. They have this spaced-out look in their eyes. Their chances for enlightenment are very small, unless they change the way they live.

Meditation will give you the power to overcome fear. As you sit and meditate each day, it makes you stronger. The energy of the universe flows through your mind, your body, and your life.

If you have humility, you are willing to undertake anything to spread the dharma.
