Where do nightmares come from? From our failure to live the life we love.

The self is a mere abstraction. To be whole, a complete human being, I have no need to know who I am.

Perfect equanimity only comes with the fulfillment of one's most basic needs.

Heaven on earth: food when you're hungry, drink when you're thirsty, sleep when you're sleepy, sex when you're horny.

A heart that is full is satisfied with very little.

You don't have to have a dream for it to come true.

Keep your dreams close to the ground where they can take root and grow.

We don't need faith or poetry or wealth or knowledge to feel fully alive. Life itself is enough.

When we're not thinking but just doing things, that's when we're happiest, when we feel most fulfilled.
