It is our commitment to wholeness that matters, the willingness to unfold in every deep aspect of our being.

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.

Peace requires us to surrender our illusions of control.

We can always begin again.

Live in joy, luminosity, and peace even among the troubles of the world. Remember who you are.

With growing awareness, you can see where you're caught or where you suffer or where you create suffering. You can then turn toward the difficulties that arise in your life with compassion, bow, and say, these too are part of human incarnation.

Part of spiritual and emotional maturity is recognizing that it's not like you're going to try to fix yourself and become a different person. You remain the same person, but you become awakened.
