Chanting is the main thing in my life.

Love is what we are; we don't get it from somebody, we can't give it to anybody, we can't fall in it or fall out of it. Love is our true Being.

Don't wait for a Guru. Your life is your Guru.

Devotion is a way of being, it's not something you do. It's dedication to finding awareness and Love. Chanting is like asanas for the mind and the heart.

We instantly believe everything we think. Isn't that insane? It's good for us to explore the depravity of our minds, so we know we are just as crazy as everyone else!

Unlimited inner strength can only be awakened when it is in the service of Love....When we align ourselves with that love and act in service of that love, anything is possible.

You cannot think your way out of a box made of thought.

Grace removes obstacles that we don’t even know are there. Grace is what arranges our lives so we are forced to look within.

Chanting just hits you and you want to be a part of it. That’s the point of this whole thing. That’s what cuts through all the ‘stuff’. You get lit up. You don’t have to know what it means.

Surrender happens by Grace. All we're doing is cleaning up the room so when Surrender walks in, He can sit down.

Bhakti yoga isn't something you join, it's love. It means falling in love.

I cannot overemphasize the impact our childhood has on our ability to be honest because we live out what we learned as children in our adult relationships.

I felt deep within me that the highest point a man can attain is not Knowledge or Virtue or Goodness or Victory but something even greater, more heroic and more despairing: Sacred Awe!

Passion does not make careful arguments: it declares itself, and that is enough.

There is yet something remaining for the dead, and some far better thing for the good than for the evil.

"My door is always open - bring me your problems." This is guaranteed to turn on every whiner, lackey and neurotic on the property.

I knew that Jaye Davidson would not last because of that. I really liked him and thought he had incredible screen presence and talent, but I knew that he would not stay in that profession.

O heart, such disorganization!

Don't bother me while I'm eating, or when I'm coming out of the crackhouse or something. Just let me get going.

If you write genre fiction, you follow the rules, and you have to follow them because readers expect that.
