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.

When you get old, everything changes - your body changes, your family changes. You can't do what you've always done, anymore. And, either you can complain about things changing - or you can be content. Instead of complaining, you can say: "Oh, yesss! Look at all this change!" You can welcome it.

Treat everyone you meet like God in drag.

I hang out with my guru in my heart. And I love everything in the universe. That's all I do all day.

All that you seek is already within you. In Hinduism it is called the Atman, in Buddhism the pure Buddha-Mind. Christ said, 'the kingdom of heaven is within you.' Quakers call it the ‘still small voice within.’ This is the space of full awareness that is in harmony with all the universe, and thus is wisdom itself.

It's very different because the Indians live as if they are their souls and Americans live as if they are their egos.

Every religion is the product of the conceptual mind attempting to describe the mystery.
