Meditation is not some special ideal, it’s just being there with the experience, whatever it is.  The very moment is the perfect meditation teacher; just being there with what is going on and nothing more. Awareness is a friend in our ordinary lives of pleasure and pain.

Spirituality cannot be attained by external means or from others telling you about their idea of it.  True spirituality is liberating; it is an organic part of everyday life. Spirituality occurs once we are free from the delusion of reality and the idea that we need something special to be happy.

Our intuition must be our main guide in life, you have an inner knowing; use it.  If you cultivate it, you will be genuine, and you will come to know others by what you do yourself.  Seek out what links your mind with the universal mind, by doing so, you will help all beings.

If you wish to influence others, first start by cultivating your own personality.  This development must be allowed to take its course; being hasty would not be wise.  Gentleness that is adaptable, but at the same time penetrating, is the outer form that should proceed from inner calm.

Quote: Don’t worry about life, just do it, you don’t have to be perfect.
