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

The repetition of the holy names reveals a presence hidden within the heart. Something begins to happen that's very disturbing - we get happy.

I didn't know what I was looking for, but I knew whatever it was that I was looking for was real.

I chant to save my miserable ass. That's what I do.

The Presence is our own presence. We are not getting anything from the outside. We already have all we need inside.

I mope around less. It is horrible. I miss it.

We are just here, right? We are just people doing our thing. And the most important aspect of anything we do is our motivation, why we do it.
