Let's just chant and be good people, alright?

Bhakti yoga isn't something you join, it's love. It means falling in love.

You can't manipulate a heart open. You can only allow it to open in the right circumstances.

Devotion is a way of being, it's not something you do. It's dedication to finding awareness and Love. Chanting is like asanas for the mind and the heart.

You can never really know what a guru is as long as you are imprisoned by your own thoughts and circular ego.

When we start talking about gurus, first of all we're starting to talk about something that can't be talked about, in the sense that you can never really know what a guru is as long as you are imprisoned by your own thoughts and circular ego. The true guru is someone who's transcended all that. And we don't know anything about that.

Real compassion is not emotional. Real compassion is based on the experience that all beings, which might appear separate, are actually a part of my own body, and I am a part of the body of the universe. We are not separate. So if one being hurts, I also hurt.
