Growth is transcending yourself, your habitual self, which is none other than ego.

Happiness is equal to one's capacity to love.

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.

All unhappiness is caused by our trying to be limited, to be an ego. The more we are our Self, the happier we are. We will never be completely happy until we are completely being our Self.

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.

Whatever happens to us originates in the mind.

If you see misery, it's your misery. When you see the perfection where the seeming imperfection seems to be, the misery is only an apparency.
