At any moment, you have a choice, that either leads you closer to your spirit or further away from it.

The present moment is the only moment available to us and it is the door to all other moments.

An emotion is only an emotion. It's just a small part of your whole being. You are much more than your emotion. An emotion comes, stays for a while, and goes away, just like a storm. If you're aware of that, you won't be afraid of your emotions.

You must love in such a way that the person you love feels free.

Nonviolent action, born of the awareness of suffering and nurtured by love, is the most effective way to confront adversity.

Fear is born from ignorance. We think that the other person is trying to take away something from us. But if we look deeply, we see that the desire of the other person is exactly our own desire - to have peace, to be able to have a chance to live.

The other person has wrong perceptions about himself and about us. And we have wrong perceptions about ourselves and the other person. And that is the foundation for violence and conflict and war.
