Meditation is not an escape from life... but preparation for really being in life.

There are some people who eat an orange but don't really eat it. They eat their sorrow, fear, anger, past, and future.

When you love someone, the best you can offer is your presence.

Without collective awakening the catastrophe will come. I think people in the mass media, journalists, film makers and others, you can contribute to the collective awakening if you are awake and then your life will embody that awakening.

If you suffer and make your loved ones suffer, there is nothing that can justify your desire.

Every morning, when we wake up, we have twenty-four brand-new hours to live. What a precious gift!

So if we love someone, we should train in being able to listen. By listening with calm and understanding, we can ease the suffering of another person. [True Love. A Practice for Awakening the Heart.]
