For your self to become pure, give everything to what is already pure in you.

As soon as there's pain, you know the gold is just beneath.

When your heart is open and soft, it isn't actually vulnerable: it can withstand anything.

When you come from your heart in the midst of your self and in your life, you’ll be like a salmon turning and going upstream. You’ll be going against the stream. You’ll be going against what your self is like. In that way, you are training your self, your conditioning and the streams of your self.

The cure to your self is that you are not yours.

The softer your heart is the less that your past is forming your present and your future. When there is openness and softness of heart, what forms the present and the future is not your past but the reality of your own being.

The more that you bypass of your own mechanisms, the more in your self that will come apart.
