The first step in forgiveness is the willingness to forgive.

There is nothing spiritual about complacency.

You've done the bourgeois thing, perhaps, but let's not call that love.

The goal of spiritual practice is full recovery, and the only thing you need to recover from is a fractured sense of self.

The only way to gain power in a world that is moving too fast is to learn to slow down. And the only way to spread one’s influence wide to learn how to go deep. The world we want for ourselves and our children will not emerge from electronic speed but rather from a spiritual stillness that takes root in our souls. Then, and only then, will we create a world that reflects the heart instead of shattering it.

In all the huge and amazing and infinitely varied world--there is only one you.

The deepest feelings always show itself in silence.
