We come into relationships often very much identified with our needs. I need this, I need security, I need refuge, I need friendship. And all of relationships are symbiotic in that sense. We come together because we fulfill each others' needs at some level or other.

As you dissolve into love, your ego fades. You’re not thinking about loving; you’re just being love, radiating like the sun.

Our thinking minds deprive us of the happiness that comes when we are living fully in the moment.

Along with faith comes the requirement for dogged persistence. At first meditation may bring you mild highs or some relief from suffering. But there may come a time - just as there does in the development of any skill - when there will be a plateau. You may be bored, discouraged, or even negative and cynical. This is when you will need not only faith, but persistence.

I think the game is to bear the unbearable with a giggle. With your heart breaking. And then do what you do.

Be open to all teachers And all teachings, And listen with your heart.

Each of us finds his unique vehicle for sharing with others his bit of wisdom.
