Once you realize how effortless the highest way of life is, it takes tremendous effort to assume the opposite.

When one really loves, one can never be hurt.

Feeling sad about anything is holding onto it. Say, 'This is something I have to let go of,' and immediately you will feel better.

Until we become fully free, we put up a false front, a facade, to others for the purpose of winning the acceptance and approval of others. We behave in accordance with what we think the other one wants rather than by expressing our own real feelings.

Attain to the place where no one and no thing can disturb you.

I began by asking myself, “What do I want out of life?” And the answer was happiness. Investigating further, I went into the moment when I was feeling happiest. I discovered something which to me was startling at the time. It was when I was loving that I was happiest. That happiness equated to my capacity to love rather than to being loved. That was a starting point.

People need each other and think it is love. There's no hanging on to, or fencing in, of the other one when one loves.
