We are the arbiters of our destiny.

I hoped to get instruction in Yoga, expected wonderful teachings, but what the teacher did was mainly to force me to face the darkness within myself and it almost killed me.... I was beaten down in every sense until I had to come to terms with that in me which I kept rejecting all my life.

I am a student of comparative religion, but whatever I read, you scratch a little bit and underneath is the oneness. You call it different names, yes, according to the time, according to the place, according to the people, but it is all one.

Sufism and yoga are one and the same thing. They are just words, in wisdom there is no difference. All the teachings are absolutely the same. They are only different paths to the One.

I regard Heart-Master Adi Da as one of the greatest teachers in the Western world today.

We are the arbiters of our destiny.

When you love, deeply love another human being, really deeply, somewhere you will feel that you are still alone, and this very beloved human being has no access.
