When you see God in everyone, then they see God in you.

O God, my God, the night has values that the day never dreamed of.

Then it was as if I suddenly saw the secret beauty of their hearts, the depths of their hearts where neither sin nor desire nor self-knowledge can reach, the core of their reality, the person that each one is in God's eyes. If only they could see themselves as they really are. If only we could see each other that way all the time, there would be no more war, no more hatred, no more cruelty, no more greed . . . I suppose the big problem would be that we would fall down and worship each other.

In humility is the greatest freedom. As long as you have to defend the imaginary self that you think is important, you lose your piece of heart. As soon as you compare that shadow with the shadows of other people, you lose all joy, because you have begun to trade in unrealities and there is no joy in things that do not exist.

The sky is my prayer, the birds are my prayer, the wind in the trees is my prayer, for God is all in all.

The purpose of our lives is to find the purpose of our lives.

Peace demands the most heroic labor and the most difficult sacrifice.
