“We do not "come into" this world; we come out of it, as leaves from a tree. As the ocean "waves," the universe "peoples." Every individual is an expression of the whole realm of nature, a unique action of the total universe.”
“We do not "come into" this world; we come out of it, as leaves from a tree.”
“Trying to define yourself is like trying to bite your own teeth.”

“Instead of being lost in your thinking, when you awaken you recognize yourself as the awareness behind it. Thinking then ceases to be a self-serving autonomous activity that takes possession of you and runs your life.”
“Knowing yourself is to be rooted in Being, instead of lost in your mind.”
“Some people awaken spiritually without ever coming into contact with any meditation technique or any spiritual teaching. They may awaken simply because they can't stand the suffering anymore.”
