It really doesn't matter to me whether a person has a lot of money or a little bit of money.

OK, you're alive. How aware are you, of anything? Can you see eternity? Do you live in the land of the perpetually happy?

The problem with love is attachment; love makes you dependent. Unattached love - you love for the hell of it.

Fear is just an idea in the mind that limits you. You cannot become enlightened if you are afraid, nor can you become happy.

All physical and nonphysical things have another side, a side that is not visible to the senses or accessible to the reasoning mind, a side that can only be known and experienced intuitively by emptying one's own mind of thoughts.

Meditation is not this kind of spacey stuff that makes it difficult to orient your life. If that's your experience of meditation, you're not meditating. You're tapping into the lower astral planes, which is not a healthy place for human beings to tap.

If you can bring earnestness to your meditation, you will find that happiness is something that will run through your life constantly.
