If you rest in the silence inside, all those you meet will have their spiritual hearts resuscitated.

The resistance to the unpleasant situation is the root of suffering.

When you are completely identified with your thinking mind you are totally separate from everything else in the universe.

I used to be afraid of things like strokes, but I've now discovered that the fear of the stroke is worse than the stroke itself.

External silence can be the doorway to inner silence.

And then the witness, if you go down into the witness, that has the spiritual being. Down there, in your soul, you'll get far more love than you ever got out there.

I don't think too much about the future. Not because I'm hiding my head in the sand but because I figured out that whatever the future was going to be, the thing I had to do was to quiet my mind and open my heart and do what I could to end suffering.
