It is quite natural, in pursuing enlightenment or just in trying to be happier, to look to your everyday experiences for signs of results. Indeed, your daily life is nothing else but an expression of your spiritual condition. Your life will change as you become more loving, but not in ways you can exactly predict. What happens is not important as how you react to what happens.

You do not need to do anything first to be enlightened.

Inside yourself or outside, you never have to change what you see, only the way you see it that is what you compare it to;- something better and you'll feel worse; something worse and you'll feel better.

There is nothing you need to do first in order to be enlightened.

The seduction of evil is precisely in that it involves us in trying to eliminate it. When your consciousness is open, any action you take in reference to evil has no more significance than digging a ditch to channel floodwaters away from a house.

The universe is made of one kind of what-ever-it-is, which cannot be defined.

No matter how it looks to us, love never loses control; the laws of our relations are as honest and as exact as the laws of physics.
