If somebody loves you, be thankful, but don’t demand anything—because the other has no obligation to love you. If somebody loves, it is a miracle. Be thrilled by the miracle.

Silence is the only teaching and the only teacher that is there all the time.

Since we all inhabit the earth, all of us are considered earthlings. There is no sexism, no racism or speciesism in the term earthling. It encompasses each and every one of us: warm or cold blooded, mammal, vertebrate or invertebrate, bird, reptile, amphibian, fish, and humans alike. Humans, therefore, being not the only species on the planet, share this world with millions of other living creatures, as we all evolve here together.

There are all these spiritual sales pitches for enlightenment: seek enlightenment and you will be happy forever, you will get unending bliss. If I were to pitch enlightenment, I’d say, seek it with all your heart and soul, give your life to it, and you will get nothing. Absolutely nothing. It’s no more or less true than the other sales pitch, but at least it would thin the crowd out a bit.
