I'm Suspicious Of Any Man Or Woman

A Lot Of People In Spiritual Life Use The Awareness Of Difference, And The Spiritual Glorification Of Difference, As A Justification To Indulge In That Which Is Ultimately Unreal.

If You Know Only One Language, You're A Prisoner, Stuck In The Tyranny Of That One Language.

As Far As I'm Concerned, The Spiritual Life Is Just Like Any Other Endeavor-you Can Succeed Or Fail. And When The Goal Is Actual Evolution Beyond Ego In An Intersubjective Context, Success Or Failure Is Plain For All To See.

I Believe That Any Individual Who Has Spiritually Awakened In Our Time, To The Degree That He Or She Finds A Higher And Deeper Motive For Living, Is Going To Be Driven To Fight The Good Fight In One Way Or Another... And In Order To Fight The Good Fight, We Have To Engage, We Have To Get Into The Ring, Not Just Stand Outside It And Be Philosophers.

One Of The Most Extraordinary Things About Being A Spiritual Teacher Is The Rare Privilege Of Being Able To Look Deeply Into The Very Souls Of Many Human Beings At The Same Time.
