Ultimately when I am with you all, what I see is my Guru. And what is he? He is love.

Practice is not about how you feel while you are doing it. You are planting seeds.

I chant to save my heart. Every time I sit down, that's what I'm doing.

We all inhabit our lives, in different ways to some degree. We see ourselves a certain way, and based on how we see ourselves, that's how we see the world.

Chanting is a way of getting in touch with yourself. It's an opening of the heart and letting go of the mind and thoughts. It deepens the channel of grace, and it's a way of being present in the moment.

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

If you stub your toe, you don't need to dialog yourself to be good to your foot, do you? When you see things that clearly, there's no dialogue or emotional manipulation that you need to do to extend compassion to that being, because that being is a part of you, and if that being hurts, you hurt.
