...conversation can be as mutually incomprehensible as foreign languages. We need the different and complementary perspectives of the various yogas - and ideally of all religions - not only to reach God but to reach each other.

We become compassionate not from altruism which denies the self for the sake of the other, but from the insight that sees and feels one is the other.

We are free when we are not the slave of our impulses, but rather their master. Taking inward distance, we thus become the authors of our own dramas rather than characters in them.

In nature, the emphasis is in what is rather than what ought to be.

Daily the world grows smaller, leaving understanding the only place where peace can find a home.

...primal people see the objects of this world not (or not only) as solid but as open windows to their divine source.

It would be good if we bore one another's burdens.
