"What is important is to find out if you're one of those within whom love wishes to dwell." ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti

Do what is needed to do so that you can be a place within which love wishes to dwell.

Everything that we think is so critical to attend to eventually becomes a source of discontent.

You have something in you that is in need of nourishment, which means that the first must become the last, and the last must become the first.

When you need God like you need air, then you will find what you are looking for.

Your journey is the gradual recognition that without being conencted to the Divine, to what is inwardly holy, your life is not a real life at all.

Being constantly busy hides the fact that being busy doesn't give you what it promises.

What you see is not the source of you... YOU are the source of what you see.

Thought is the false substitute for love and unity.

When you have a moment of revelation, in which the observer and the observed are not separate, you realize that all other ambitions are worthless.

Something has to be given up first in order for the Divine to enter into that empty space.

There is no moment when the observer and the observed are separate. But they are separate in our experience because we identity with something within ourselves that searches outside of itself for completion and fulfillment.

There is a difference between wanting something and needing something. Wanting is always connected to a desire that produces an image, creating only a momentary sense of being whole.

When at last you have your own life, then you will know what's true and what's not, without having to think about it.

Any time you don't agree with another person's illusion (that he or she wants you to agree with and engage in), you are actually giving that person the opportunity to see the illusion.

The wish to become someone special produces useless suffering.

There is no such thing as a negative reaction without there being an attachment and a dependency behind it.

The task is not to fill yourself, but to see where something in you is trying to find fulfillment through something based on an image.

Stop looking for a way to be free of conflict. Instead see that looking for a way to be free of conflict IS conflict.

All things good come to those for whom the Good is all things.
