The heart is like a mirror. When we dust it off, we are able to see ourselves. The dust is all our stuff - guilt, anger - this stuff is reflected back to us. Practice removes the dust from the mirror of our hearts.

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.

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.

You cannot think your way out of a box made of thought.

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.

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

Hanuman not only gives liberation, he also fulfills our beneficial desires.
