“When you have a decision to make, it is good to try to make it from that place of stillness. Come to stillness and wait for an answer that feels good.”

“When we are in not knowing, we are at the threshold of the Absolute. From there, we receive everything we need at any given moment. If we need knowledge or intelligence, we receive it. The same is true if we need love or beauty. If we need nothing, we receive nothing. We are connected with the root of everything, so we are in total harmony.”

“Know that your happiness is not in the next situation, in the next object, but that the next situation or object is simply a celebration of this happiness that we already are. Stick to happiness throughout all situations. Don’t stick to the situations.”

“We should be present to the totality of whatever arises in consciousness, instead of focusing on something that we want to get rid of. Then, we will become aware of the feeling of unhappiness, and the dislike of the feeling, and perhaps a bird singing in the distance and all kinds of things. Let all that evolve by itself. Don’t try to put your hands on it. If you focus on one single thing, you are still trying to manipulate it.”
