Trying to change ourselves in order to please others - so that we can feel temporarily whole for having won their approval - is like cutting a flower into pieces so that it will fit into a vase.

The smallest effort to remember the Divine, or even one of its timeless truths, connects you to a calmness whose power is in that secret strength found in all things deep.

If you love getting gifts - and who doesn't - then why not accept, with gratitude, the greatest gift there is: the present moment.

Each time we see and are touched by the expression of some eternal principle, we catch a sweet glimpse of some aspect of our True Self.

The only mistake that we can make as human beings is to be asleep, unaware of ourselves.

The secret self knows the anguish of our attachments and assures us that letting go of what we think we must have to be happy is the same as letting go of our unhappiness.

Talking to yourself proves only one thing: you're still unable to tell the difference between good and bad company.
