To let go in the deepest recesses of the heart, to release all struggle and wanting, leads us to that knowing which is timeless.

Have respect for yourself, and patience and compassion. With these, you can handle anything.

When we struggle to change ourselves we, in fact, only continue the patterns of self-judgement and aggression. We keep the war against ourselves alive.

No one knows how this world came into being. It is a creation of consciousness itself. It's extraordinary, a mystery.

For most of us, generosity is a quality that must be developed. We have to respect that it will grow gradually; otherwise our spirituality can become idealistic and imitative, acting out the image of generosity before it has become genuine.

Only in the reality of the present can we love, can we awaken, can we find peace and understanding and connection with ourselves and the world.

In the end, forgiveness simply means never putting another person out of our heart.
