I awoke only to find that the rest of the world was still asleep.

Neither a space station nor an enlightened mind can be realized in a day.

Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others; to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can.

Peace has never come from dropping bombs. Real peace comes from enlightenment and educating people to behave more in a divine manner.

I always thought it was me against the world and then one day I realized it's just me against me.

I came to the conclusion that we should aspire to increase the scope and scale of human consciousness in order to better understand what questions to ask. Really, the only thing that makes sense is to strive for greater collective enlightenment.
