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

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.

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

All we can know is our own subjective version of reality. That's the way we go through our lives. Everybody.

The heart in us is deeper than any emotion or psychological issue.

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

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.
