Whatever we are doing, believing, thinking, desiring, understanding, feeling – if we are not aware of them while aware of ourselves in the present – we are asleep, and all are but embers of a dream.
That the birds of worry and care fly over your head, this you cannot change, but that they build nests in your hair, this you can prevent.
The ultimate freedom from the nonexistent ego is to see that it is actually irrelevant.
Things that are real are given and received in silence. God has been everlastingly working in silence, unobserved, unheard, except by those who experience His infinite silence.
When your sense of self is no longer tied to thought, is no longer conceptual, there is a depth of feeling, of sensing, of compassion, of loving, that was not there when you were trapped in mental concepts. You are that depth.
If you eat with love that is good; what you just gulp down like anything, that will kill you.
