Work should be in order to live. We don't live in order to work. That shift in awareness is necessary.

When our inner self connects to our work and our work to our inner self, the work knows no limit, for the inner self knows no limit.

To connect with the great river we all need a path, but when you get down there there's only one river.

The system is not working. That is how a paradigm shift begins: the established way of seeing the world no longer functions.

We all share beauty. It strikes us indiscriminately. There is no end to the beauty for the person who is aware. Even the cracks between the sidewalk contain geometric patterns of amazing beauty. If we take pictures of them and blow up the photographs, we realize we walk on beauty every day, even when things seem ugly around us.

Pain destroys the illusions of false, that is, elitist pleasures. It burns from the inside out. It, therefore, sensitizes us to what is truly beautiful in life.

Prayer is essentially about making the heart strong so that fear cannot penetrate there.
