To live a present and awakened life, simply be responsive to the moment. It is very simple. If you are hungry, eat. If you are thirsty, drink. If you are lonely, call a friend for tea. If you are overwhelmed with too much company, then get away by yourself.

When you become present, your mind is silent. There is no agenda. You are not holding onto anything. You are not seeking anything. You are just here with what is, and it is enough.

One of the great dangers on the spiritual path is that the ego becomes spiritualized. The ego loves to think of itself as spiritually evolved. It is just another way that it manages to feel important and in control. It is very difficult to free yourself from an enlightened ego.

It is far wiser to ask for a question than an answer. When you think you have all the answers, it simply means you have run out of questions.

Every moment you are present, there is a little less darkness in our world.

Only when you can accept that you are alone, will you discover that you are not alone.

Surrender the dream and the truth will be revealed.
