If you want to be surrounded by Souls, become identified with your Soul. It takes one to know one!

When you want to become free, your righteousness and anger are much less interesting than they used to be.

So your first job is to work on yourself. The greatest thing you can do for another human being is to get your own house in order and find your true spiritual heart.

The gift you offer another person is just your being.

I would say that the thrust of my life has been initially about getting free, and then realizing that my freedom is not independent of everybody else. Then I am arriving at that circle where one works on oneself as a gift to other people so that one doesn't create more suffering. I help people as a work on myself and I work on myself to help people.

Our journey is about being more deeply involved in life, and yet less attached to it.

I think that people should give gifts by really recognizing the spiritual worth of the person and their (the givers') own worth. You usually give a present that the other person needs or wants, and I think it just emphasizes wants and needs.
