A moment comes when "other" is no longer other.

What we're seeing "out there" is the projection of where we're at--the projection of the clingings of our minds.

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.

The art of life is to stay wide open and be vulnerable, yet at the same time to sit with the mystery and the awe and with the unbearable pain - to just be with it all.

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

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

If you feel a sense of social responsibility, first of all keep working on yourself. Being peaceful yourself is the first step if you want to live in a peaceful universe.
