God has abandoned you. Fear does not serve you. Your heart has betrayed you. Only the music can guide you.

With mindfulness we have the choice of responding with compassion to the pain of craving, anger, fear and confusion. Without mindfulness we are stuck in the reactive pattern and identification that will inevitably create more suffering and confusion.

The truth is, going against the internal stream of ignorance is way more rebellious than trying to start some sort of cultural revolution.

It's easy to hate and point out everything that is wrong with the world; it is the hardest and most important work in one's life to free oneself from the bonds of fear and attachment.

The inner revolution will not be televised or sold on the Internet. It must take place within one's own mind and heart.

Everything is unfolding based on causes and conditions. Our happiness or suffering is dependent on how we relate to the present moment. If we cling now, we suffer later. If we let go and respond with compassion or friendliness, we create happiness and well-being for the future.
