The awakening of the soul to its bondage and its effort to stand up and assert itself - this is called life.

As I began to love myself I stopped craving for a different life, and I could see that everything that surrounded me was inviting me to grow. Today, I call it 'maturity'.

At 24 I decided that my life is enough for me, and I stopped looking for some other piece to complete it. I also learned how to needlepoint ironic cross-stitches of rap lyrics and gave them to my friends as presents. I'll let you decide which is the more important revelation.

It's the greatest discovery of life: to recognize that you're more than your body and your mind.

If you peel back the layers of your life-the frenzy, the noise-stillness is waiting. That stillness is you.

You yourselves are the Being you are seeking.
