The path of spiritual growth is a path of lifelong learning.

When we love something it is of value to us, and when something is of value to us we spend time with it, time enjoying it and time taking care of it.

Since true listening involves a setting aside of the self, it also temporarily involves a total acceptance of the others. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will feel less and less vulnerable, and more and more inclined to open up the inner recesses of his or her mind to the listener. As this happens, speaker and listener begin to appreciate each other more and more, and the dance of love is begun again.

Everything that happens in life is there to aid our spiritual growth.

Love is too large, too deep ever to be truly understood or measured or limited within the framework of words.

The more effort we make to appreciate and perceive reality, the larger and more accurate our maps will be. But many do not want to make this effort.

We cannot solve a problem by saying, "It's not my problem." We cannot solve a problem by hoping that someone else will solve it for us. I can solve a problem only when I say, "This is my problem and it's up to me to solve it."
