"The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear.""The quieter you become, the more you can hear.""At the heart level, you are already who you want to become""Let your life be a conduit for love and compassion ""The slower you go, the more you can see""We have to be able to sit in silence before we can truly speak""What we think we become""Everything in your life is there to teach you a lesson""You have to break down who you think you are in order to become who you could be""Everything is part of one big unfolding pattern""What we’re seeing here is our own reflection""You walk around with your heart open and it changes the atmosphere""We are in the time of unfolding of destinies ""The ego is an exquisite instrument. Enjoy it, use it ""Do not avoid dreams because they are occasional nightmares ""When you go out into the woods and you look at trees, you see all these different trees and some of them are bent, and some of them are straight, and some of them are evergreens, and some of them are whatever, and you look at the tree and you allow it. You see why it is the way it is. You sort of understand that it didn’t get enough light, and so it turned that way. And you don’t get all emotional about it, you just allow it. You appreciate the tree. The minute you get near humans, you lose all that. And you are constantly saying ‘You are too this, or I’m too this.’ That judgment mind comes in. And so I practice turning people into trees. Which means appreciating them just the way they are.""It is only when you realign your mind to one-pointedness that you will be able to reflect the divine vision within""Somehow you awaken in the morning and you already know what the purpose is.""You may protest if you can love the person you are protesting against as much as you love yourself.""The most exquisite paradox: as soon as you give it all up, you can have it all. As long as you want power, you can't have it. "
