In the yogic tradition, this principle of using intense effort to burn through life's distractions is called Tapas. It's another Sanskrit word, roughly defined as "heat" or "essential energy." The concept is that through a disciplined approach to work and self-sacrifice, Tapas will burn away the negativity that separates us from God. By working our hardest and happily enduring the hardships of life we are able to create a sense of peace and clarity in ourselves.

People are murdering each other without any recourse... So we need to get in our communities and work from the inside out.

The best way to protect both the policemen and the community going forward is by creating a system that's just, where everyone feels safe.

I don't fault business. If you run a corporation, your job is to maximize the return on investment for your investors. Good for you. But by the same token, we have to remember that corporations have no compassion. That's why legislation and regulations are necessary.

As I get, I give. Giving as you get is critical. It has everything to do with being happy for yourself, and making others happy is the cause of making yourself happy, and it’s the cycle of giving and getting.

Reacting to the world with a smile instead of a curse, a wave instead of the middle finger, will actually help you live longer.

You have to live your life as if you are already where you want to be.
