What you meet in another being is the projection of your own level of evolution.

The spiritual journey is individual, highly personal. It can't be organized or regulated. It isn't true that everyone should follow one path. Listen to your own truth.

I would like my life to be a statement of love and compassion--and where it isn't, that's where my work lies.

If you think you’re enlightened go spend a week with your family.

The game is not about becoming somebody, it's about becoming nobody.

We are all affecting the world every moment, whether we mean to or not. Our actions and states of mind matter, because we are so deeply interconnected with one another.

The intellect is a beautiful servant but a terrible master. Intellect is the power tool of our separateness. The intuitive, compassionate heart is the doorway to our unity.

We're all just walking each other home.

As you dissolve into love, your ego fades. You’re not thinking about loving; you’re just being love, radiating like the sun.

I practice turning people into trees. Which means appreciating them just the way they are

If you want to cure the world, don't emanate fear - emanate love.

It's the perfect solution. We argue all the time. We can't stand each other. It's like we're already married.

Without love, our earth is a tomb

Inconsistency is the only thing in which men are consistent.

We have the potential to help people out of poverty, out of disease, out of slavery and out of conflict. Too often we turn the other way because we think there's nothing we can do.

You must be willing to protect yourself and what you cherish, no matter what the cost.

Not that we were incompatible: we just had nothing to talk about.

My biggest turn-on has to be brains, intelligence.

I like to know what I'm celebrating before I put on a party hat.

I'm from Brooklyn. I grew up very poor- seven people, four rooms. My dad had no education.

I tell my students, if you are going to spend days and months and years with someone, you had better like that person!
