Intent, thought, emotion, attitude and actions are only consequences of our consciousness.

There is your body and my body, your mind and my mind - but there is only one inclusive consciousness.

People being sympathetic to certain causes or certain people is not compassion. When you are passionate about everything, when your passion has become all encompassing, then you are compassionate. Compassion is not little pity or sympathy for something.

Compassion is the highest virtue in a way and compassion is not possible if you are identified with this or that. Only when you are able to just look at life as life, only then you can be compassionate. If you look at it as my life or your life – no compassion. When life is just life, there is compassion.

With age, physical agility may go down but your aliveness need not go down.

The more conclusions you have, the less you experience life.

Life contains all your ideas, but your ideas cannot contain life.

If you become aware of how many living beings are giving their lives to sustain yours, you will eat with enormous gratitude.

The most significant aspect of your life is that you're alive right now.

You cannot live tomorrow. You can only live now.
