The Witnessing Soul
"The witnessing soul is like the sky. The birds fly in the sky but they don't leave any footprints."
The Zen Approach
"This is the Zen approach: nothing is there to be done. There is nothing to do. One has just to be. Have a rest and be ordinary and be natural."
Recognition
"How can one become enlightened? One can, because one is enlightened - one just has to recognize the fact."

"One must not even do wrong when one is wronged, which most people regard as the natural course."
You
"Be as you wish to seem."
Treasure in Everyone
"Like a sculptor, if necessary, carve a friend out of stone. Realize that your inner sight is blind and try to see a treasure in everyone."

"All people on the planet are children, except for a very few. No one is grown up except those free of desire."

"Inside you there’s an artist you don’t know about… Say yes quickly, if you know, if you’ve known it from before the beginning of the universe."
Be As You Are
"Be like the sun for grace and mercy. Be like the night to cover others' faults. Be like running water for generosity. Be like death for rage and anger. Be like the Earth for modesty. Appear as you are. Be as you appear."
