Your most intimate relationship is the one you have with your thoughts.
The person who finds peace inside and lives it, is the one who teaches what true peace is.
If you knew how important you are, you would fragment into a billion pieces and just be light.
The moment it begins to question itself, the mind becomes so clear that it starts working with itself rather than with the body's identification.
Our parents, our children, our spouses, and our friends will continue to press every button we have, until we realize what it is that we don't want to know about ourselves, yet. They will point us to our freedom every time.
Everyone has equal wisdom. It is absolutely equally distributed. No one is wiser than anyone else.

Without our stories, we are not only able to act clearly and fearlessly, we are also a friend, a listener. We are people living happy lives. We are appreciation and gratitude that have become as natural as breath itself.

How do I know that I don’t need what I want? I don’t have it.
When you're comfortable and secure, it's not enough. The mind doesn't stop there because it has to continue to focus itself as this body, so it moves to pleasure. And pleasure really is a non-existent thing. When we're experiencing pleasure, we're trying to hold onto it as it leaves, so it really isn't pleasure. Pleasure is pain because we're grasping.
