Performed with attention, without rush,
with patience,
any single step can surprise you
and reveal your destination.

No life has yet been lived
without immense courage.

Rogues too realize.

The way we look at the world
influences the way we are in the world.

What the heart recognizes
as liberation,
the ego sees
as theft.

Find the holy heart
of the moment.

Let that charged space
spark inside you and flash.

Each step
is part of the journey.

We don’t get the greatest gifts,
we give ourselves to them instead.

We learn the way
by knowing our hearts.

Many bodies,
Many objects,
Many thoughts,
Many experiences –
One Being.

The present moment is always unique,
a profound mystery,
and never to be missed

It is in the darkness
that we learn to see.

Build up a tolerance for the unknown.

How can you be at home in the immense, mysterious,
and formless Self,
when you are only at ease with what the mind has defined?

Love the day.
Look deeply into the eyes of your child.
Spend time with yourself.
These are true worship.

See — you are
a lamp
lost in light.

The real you
is ever new and alive
and much too big to be your own.
