Meditation more than anything in my life was the biggest ingredient of whatever success I've had.

By and large, life will give you what you deserve and it doesn't give a damn what you like. So it is up to you to take full responsibility to connect what you want with what you need to do to get it, and then to do those things.

The best advice I can give you is to ask yourself what do you want, then ask 'what is true' - and then ask yourself 'what should be done about it.' I believe that if you do this you will move much faster towards what you want to get out of life than if you don't!

I'd like to be clear that a number of people find me intolerable, and they don't hesitate to say so - which they and I cherish.

I think so many people are reactive... they see things in a short term way they're right up against it.

I think the greatest tragedy of mankind is that people have ideas and opinions in their heads but don't have a process for properly examining these ideas to find out what's true. That creates a world of distortions.

Like the saying goes, don't believe everything you read.
