Our true happiness comes from being fully conscious in the present moment, aware of our connection to everything in the universe.

Your Soul is always trying to be heard above the noise of your mind. When you quiet your mind your Soul takes command!

When you are fully in the moment, this moment is all there is.

If we haven’t forgiven, we keep creating an identity around our pain, and that is what is reborn. That is what suffers.

Run my dear, / From anything / That may not strengthen / Your precious budding wings.

Have a mind that is open to everything, and attached to nothing.

Remain calm, serene, always in command of yourself. You will then find out how easy it is to get along.

In music, I am the melody.

Just as we have recognized unity, by our very nature so we must also recognize variation.

Affirmations are like screaming “you are OK” in order to overcome this whisper that you are not…. None of us are OK, and all of us are fine.

I regard all the great religions of the world as true, at any rate for the people professing them, as mine is true for me.

The clouds that wander through / the sky have no roots, no home, / Nor do the distinctive thoughts / floating through the mind. / Once the self mind is seen, / Discrimination stops.

The purpose of our practice is to just be yourself.

To act with determination is to have will.

There is a candle in your heart, / [tab in] ready to be kindled. / There is a void in your soul, / [tab in] ready to be filled. / You feel it, don’t you?

The future is being made out of the present, so the best way to take care of the future is to take care of the present moment.

As there can be no water without the sea, no touch without the skin, no smell without the nose, no taste without the tongue, no sound without the ear, no thought without the mind, no work without  hands, and no walking without feet, so there can be nothing without the sound.

The biggest thing in today’s sorrow is the memory of yesterday’s joy.

When you breathe in, you bring all of yourself together, body and mind; you become one.

Becoming conscious of what we really are, that is what we call enlightenment.

Why should there be so many different faiths? The Soul is one, but the bodies which She animates are many. We cannot reduce the number of bodies; yet we recognize the unity of the Soul.

Right here, in the midst of commotion / Get curious, look around inside with wonder. / Unmind your mind / All the walls have fallen down / Go ahead and dissolve.

Keep the mind and heart open, turned inward and upward so that when the touch comes from within or the flow from above, you may be ready to receive it.

That which you have tried yourself, which you have experienced, which you have recognized as true, and which will be beneficial to you and to others; believe that, and shape your conduct to it.

Understand the place of love in a spiritual life. A powerful and blissful type of love has no conditions, no ownership, and no people involved. Be free from fear. Be who you are. That is love.

With no future, be true to yourself and express yourself fully. Don’t move.

Many people are afraid to empty their minds lest they may plunge into the void. They do not know that their own mind IS the void.

Only a person who has understood his own Self can see that Self in everybody.

Live your life as it comes, but alertly, watchfully, allowing everything to happen as it happens, doing the natural things the natural way, suffering, rejoicing—as life brings. This is a way.

Everything in your life is there as a vehicle for your transformation. Use it!
