“For many years I had been deeply identified with thinking and the painful, heavy emotions that had accumulated inside. My thought activity was mostly negative, and my sense of identity was also mostly negative, although I tried hard to prove to myself and to the world that I was good enough by working very hard academically. But even after I had achieved academic success, I was happy for two weeks or three and then the depression and anxiety came back.”
“You are not separate from the whole. You are one with the sun, the earth, the air. You don’t have a life. You are life.”
“And whenever you feel that essence in another, you also feel it in yourself.”
