- Never be ashamed, he said. Accept what life offers you and try to drink from every cup. All wines should be tasted; some should only be sipped, but with others, drink the whole bottle.
- How will I know which is which?
- By the taste. You can only know a good wine if you have first tasted a bad one.

Resting in your awareness is very relaxing. It's relaxing because you can see that nothing needs to change about this moment. No effort is required. Everything is perfect. But this awareness is not naive. It can still see destruction and suffering in this world, and from this space of relaxation and clear sight, you will know what if any actions are necessary to take. But the greatest shift we can ever make is to let go and simply be.

I have been and still am a seeker, but I have ceased to question stars and books; I have begun to listen to the teaching my blood whispers to me

I teach a different kind of love. It does not end in friendship but begins in friendship. It begins in silence, in awareness. It is a love which is your own creation, which is not blind. Such a love can last forever, can go on growing deeper and deeper. Such a love is immensely sensitive. In this kind of relationship one starts feeling the need of the other person even before the other person has spoken. Energies can relate directly without language. Such a love needs nothing from the other. It is more than any sexual orgasm can give — two energies melting.

Anybody who rises in love never falls from it, because rising is your effort, and the love that is grown through your effort is within your hands. But falling in love is not your effort. Rising in love is something spiritual. Falling in love is something biological. 

Love should come out of your silence, awareness, meditativeness. It is soft, it is unbinding — because how can love create fetters for the one who is loved? It is giving freedom to each other, more and more. As the love grows deeper, freedom becomes bigger. As the love grows deeper, you start accepting the person as he is. You stop trying to change the person.

Love is the gold of the Earth
There is so much to love on our planet
There is so much to love about people
There is so much to love about yourself
And you have barely come close
And this self love has nothing to do with ego
It has nothing to do with a perception of why you should be loved
Or whether you deserve to be loved
This self love is a pure remembrance that everything is love
There is no division – There is no division from source – Any perceived division is illusion
You are everything
And when you remember this, everything and anything is possible

Why do you stay in prison when the door is so wide open? Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking

You may not yet be able to bring your unconscious mind activity into awareness as thoughts, but it will always be reflected in the body as an emotion, and of this you can become aware
