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

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.

Don't give up on your dreams. You can become the person you know you really are.

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

One of your biggest lessons so far in life has been to learn to forgive myself over and over again and not to be so harsh with myself.

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

I knew that if I did not start chanting with people, that I would never be able to clean out the dark corners of my own heart. I knew it with every cell in my body and mind.
