We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings having a human experience and Infinite love is the only truth; everything else is an illusion.

The painful thing is that when we buy into disapproval, we are practicing disapproval. When we buy into harshness, we are practicing harshness. The more we do it, the stronger these qualities become. How sad it is that we become so expert at causing harm to ourselves and others. The trick then is to practice gentleness and letting go. We can learn to meet whatever arises with curiosity and not make it such a big deal.

Nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know.

Use your life to wake you up.

The most heartbreaking thing of all is how we cheat ourselves of the present moment.

Anything we experience, no matter how challenging, can become an open pathway to awakening.

Meditation is not about getting out of ourselves or achieving something better. It is about getting in touch with what you already are.
