Love is not what we become but who we already are

God is not someone or something separate but is the suchness in each moment, the underlying reality.

When we see all women as the divine mother and all men as the divine father, everyone you meet is sacred.

That which is impermanent attracts compassion. That which is not provides wisdom. (116)

If you want the other person more than anything else in the world, you're in major trouble and the relationship is a wobbly pivot. It's different if the thing you want most in the world is truth, and your partner is the person you want most in the world.

Much thought has at its root a dissatisfaction with what is. Wanting is the urge for the next moment to contain what this moment does not. When there is wanting in the mind, that moment feels incomplete. Wanting is seeing elsewhere. Completeness is being right here.

Meditation allows us to directly participate in our lives instead of living life as an afterthought.
