Surely the memory of an event cannot pass for the event itself. Nor can the anticipation. There is something exceptional, unique, about the present event, which the previous, or the coming do not have. There is livingness about it, an actuality; it stands out as if illumined. There is the "stamp of reality" on the actual, which the past and future do not have.

There is only one meditation - the rigorous refusal to harbor thoughts.

When you know beyond all doubting that the same life flows through all that is, and you are that life, you will love all naturally and spontaneously.

All you can teach is understanding. The rest comes on its own.

Stop imagining yourself being or doing this or that and the realization that you are the source and heart of all will dawn on you.

Awareness neither dies nor is re-born. It is the changeless reality itself.

We grow through investigation, and to investigate we need experience. We tend to repeat what we have not understood. If we are sensitive and intelligent, we need not suffer. Pain is a call for attention and the penalty of carelessness. Intelligent and compassionate action is the only remedy.
