When the heart is open, it's easier for the mind to be turned toward God.

It's very hard to grow, because it's difficult to let go of the models of ourselves in which we've invested so heavily.

Souls love. That’s what souls do. Egos don’t, but souls do. Become a soul, look around, and you’ll be amazed-all the beings around you are souls. Be one, see one.

Each person tells you who they think they are, and who they think you are.

So somebody comes along and gets to me. They get me angry or uptight or they awaken some desire in me, wow am I delighted. They got me. And that’s my work on myself. If I am angry with you because your behavior doesn’t fill my model of how you should be, that’s my problem for having models. No expectations, no upset. If you are a liar and a cheat, that’s your Karma. If I’m cheated, that’s my work on myself.

Compassion is the ability to see how it all is.

In most of our human relationships, we spend much of our time reassuring one another that our costumes of identity are on straight.
