If I could give you just one thing, I__ want it to be a simple truth that took me many years to learn. If you learn it now, it may enrich your life in hundreds of ways. And it may prevent you from facing many problems that have hurt people who have never learned it.The truth is simply this:No one owes you anything.

Many secular observers and spiritual practitioners alike mistake mystical chanting as a kind of anthropological curiosity or interesting musical diversion from secular mainstream entertainment, sometimes labeling it 'world' or 'folk' music. But uttering or chanting spells, mantras or prayers shouldn't be regarded as a romantic excursion to a distant past, or faraway place, or as an escape from our everyday stresses, for relaxation or entertainment. These sounds are meant to be experienced as the timeless unity of energy currents. The chanting of ancient esoteric sounds enables us to realize we are never separate from the one continuously existing omnipresent vibration of the cosmos.

Just calling one's practice "approach and accomplishment" and staying in retreat for years will produce nothing but hardship.

Everything will work out... don't give up hope, remain calm.

That__ been one of my mantras _ focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it__ worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains. [BusinessWeek, May 25 1998]

I overcome the fear of losing.I overcome the fear of changing.I let go of what is going.I allow what is coming.

One cannot transcend the body or mind just by repeating the mantra "I am not the body and I am not the mind".

Always be respectful and open-minded when listening to another man's beliefs. What you reject today could be your mantra tomorrow. Man's evolution is all about transformations. An unexpected experience you have one day can change you forever.

I read somewhere that the only difference between Illness and Wellness is the ___ and the __e_, When you only think of yourself, ___, you are victimizing yourself and you are blaming yourself and you are __eeding_ the illness, whereas when you look at yourself as a part of this Universe and you do your part in giving and contributing in whatever ways you know, you focus on the __e_ and you experience Wellness.
