When I look at my life, I see that I wanted to be free of the physical plane, the psychological plane, and when I got free of those I didn't want to go anywhere near them.

The dance goes from realizing that you're separate (which is the awakening) to then trying to find your way back into the totality of which you are not only a part, but which you are.

If you could stand back far enough and watch the whole process you'd see you are a totally determined being.

The ego is a tool. You don't separate it. It's a tool for the spirit.

Look at the people you don't love and see them as an exercise for you to open your heart.

From a Hindu perspective, you are born as what you need to deal with, and if you just try and push it away, whatever it is, it's got you.

The gift you offer another person is just your being.
