The only real protection will come from doing a spiritual practice over a prolonged period of time. Because it retrains us to see the world and ourselves in a different way.

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.

The break of a family is the break of society.

You're not me. You can't feel like I feel.""I can feel.""No you can't. You just choose not to feel or something and everything's fine.""It's not fine. It's just not so bad.

I have only one passion, the love of liberty and human dignity.

I think it is a good exercise to ask oneself, "How would I have wanted to be treated?"

Some writing and production projects will be a great way to spend my elderly rock years.

It is now no more that toleration is spoken of, as if it was by the indulgence of one class of people that another enjoyed the exercise of their inherent natural rights.

People who are right most of the time are people who change their minds often

I have every reason to be happy.

You do more for yourself when you forget yourself.
