When we start to talk about gurus, we're talking about beings who actually know what this is all about. They know who we were, where we came from, and where we're going. They are not imprisoned in a selfish or self-centered view of the universe.

This is what I do to keep my head screwed on semi-straight and keep my heart open. Whenever I sing, that's why I sing. Whether it's at the Grammys, whether it's in the bathroom, whether it's in front of 10,000 people or three people, by my guru's grace, my head stays in that place.

It's within your world that things will unfold and intuitive understandings will open up.

Grace removes obstacles that we don’t even know are there. Grace is what arranges our lives so we are forced to look within.

Surrender happens by Grace. All we're doing is cleaning up the room so when Surrender walks in, He can sit down.

Just the slightest turn toward the inside is a very big thing.

We are not separate. So if one being hurts, I also hurt.
