Inspirations and influences in my teaching.
Rupert Spira
"In reality, which means in our actual experience, all experience is one seamless substance. The duality between the inside self and the outside object, world or other is never actually experienced. It is always imagined."
Harriet Tubman
"If I could have convinced more slaves that they were slaves, I could have freed thousands more."
Amma
"Nowadays everybody wants to become a leader. No one wants to become a servant. In reality, the world is badly in need of servants, not leaders. A real servant is a real leader."
Peace Pilgrim
"To attain inner peace you must actually give your life, not just your possessions. When you at last give your life — bringing into alignment your beliefs and the way you live then, and only then, can you begin to find inner peace."
Rumi
"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it."
Jane Goodall
"Only if we understand, will we care. Only if we care, will we help. Only if we help shall all be saved."
Cheri Huber
"The quality of your life is determined by the focus of your attention."
Bankei
"An enlightened awareness is within each one of us, right at this moment. This enlightened awareness is truly unborn and marvelously illuminating; and everything is perfectly managed by it."
Claire of Assisi
"Our labor here is brief, but the reward is eternal. Do not be disturbed by the clamor of the world, which passes like a shadow."
Ryokan
"How could we discuss
this and that
without knowing
the whole world is
reflected in a single pearl?”
Ramana Maharshi
"Our own self-realization is the greatest service we can render the world."
Martin Luther King Jr.
"I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality."
