So many times each day we support each other informally without ever becoming 'helper' or 'helped.' Perhaps we're finding an article of clothing for a partner, cutting bread for one of the children, collecting the mail for the person at the next desk, holding the coat for someone at a restaurant.

A feeling of aversion or attachment toward something is your clue that there's work to be done.

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.

My guru said that when he suffers, it brings him closer to God. I have found this, too.

What the word God means is the mystery really. It's the mystery that we face as humans the mystery of existence, of suffering and of death.

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

The game is not about becoming somebody, it's about becoming nobody.
