"I am the awareness that is aware that there is attachment." That's the beginning of the transformation of consciousness.

So do not be concerned with the fruit of your action-just give attention to the action itself. The fruit will come of its own accord.

You create a good future by creating a good present. How do you do that? By recognizing the goodness that is already inherent in the present moment, even in the midst of challenges. Discontent, blaming, complaining, self-pity cannot serve as a foundation for a good future, no matter how much effort you make.

The ego doesn't know that the source of all energy is within you, so it seeks it outside.

Compassion is the awareness of a deep bond between yourself and all creatures.

The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it.

Nothing that you plan is going to work out. Everything is going to be totally different than the way you expected. And things will constantly challenge you. Wherever you look the world is not as solid it seems to be.

On a deeper level you are already complete. When you realize that, there is a joyous energy behind what you do.

As soon as you honor the present moment, all unhappiness and struggle dissolve, and life begins to flow with joy and ease. When you act out the present-moment awareness, whatever you do becomes imbued with a sense of quality, care, and love - even the most simple action.

Some changes look negative on the surface but you will soon realize that space is being created in your life for something new to emerge.

Give up defining yourself - to yourself or to others. You won't die. You will come to life. And don't be concerned with how others define you. When they define you, they are limiting themselves, so it's their problem. Whenever you interact with people, don't be there primarily as a function or a role, but as the field of conscious Presence. You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.

Death is a stripping away of all that is not you. The secret of life is to "die before you die" --- and find that there is no death.

Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness. How do you know this is the experience you need? Because this is the experience you are having at the moment.

True salvation is freedom from negativity.

The present moment is all you ever have.

Thinking is only a small aspect of consciousness. Thought cannot exist without consciousness, but consciousness does not need thought

The awakening of consciousness is the next evolutionary step for mankind.

It is the stillness that will save and transform the world.

True communication is communion-the realization of oneness, which is love.

Being at ease with not knowing is crucial for answers to come to you.

Most humans are never fully present in the now, because unconsciously they believe that the next moment must be more important than this one. But then you miss your whole life, which is never not now.

Not to be able to stop thinking is a dreadful affliction, but we don't realize this because almost everyone is suffering from it, so it is considered normal. This incessant mental noise prevents you from finding that realm of inner stillness that is inseparable from Being.

Sometimes letting things go is an act of far greater power than defending or hanging on.

Those who have not found their true wealth, which is the radiant joy of Being and the deep, unshakable peace that comes with it, are beggars, even if they have great material wealth.
