"If attachment becomes fixed on a 'Gnani' [The enlightened one], then it becomes Real attachment (prashastaraag). It will get one's work done. It will uproot attachment in all other places. Because the Gnani is Vitarag, attachment-free. Attachment for a Vitarag gives liberation from all the suffering."

"Why be seduced by something as small as a front door in another country? Why fall in love with a place because it has trams and its people seldom have curtains in their homes? However absurd the intense reactions provoked by such small (and mute) foreign elements may seem, the pattern is at least familiar from our personal lives. There, too, we may find ourselves anchoring emotions of love on the way a person butters his or her bread, or recoiling at his or her taste in shoes. To condemn ourselves for these minute concerns is to ignore how rich in meaning details may be."

"With a clear intention and a willing spirit, sooner or later we experience the joy and freedom that arises when we recognize our common humanity with others and see that real love excludes no one."

"Mindfulness can play a big role in transforming our experience with pain & other difficulties, it allows us to recognize the authenticity of the distress & yet not be overwhelmed by it."
Pain
"If we truly loved ourselves, we'd never harm another. That is a truly revolutionary, celebratory mode of self-care."
Compassion
"The practice of sympathetic joy is rooted in inner development. It's not a matter of learning techniques to "make friends and influence people. Instead, we build the foundations of our own happiness. When our own cup is full, we more easily share it with others."
Happiness
"When we contemplate the miracle of embodied life, we begin to partner with our bodies in a kinder way."

"From the Buddhist point of view, it is true that emptiness is a characteristic of all of life - if we look carefully at any experience we will find transparency, insubstantiality, with no solid, unchanging core to our experience. But that does not mean that nothing matters."
Philosophy
"When we bring deep awareness to whatever's bothering us, the same things might be happening, but we are able to relate to them differently."
Awareness
"Our path, our sense of spirituality demands great earnestness, dedication, sincerity & continuity."
Devotion
"When we constantly hear that we should be smarter, better connected, more productive, wealthier-it takes real courage to claim the time and space to follow the currents of our talents, our aspirations, and our hearts, which may lead in a very different direction."
Life
"When we believe a wounding story, our whole world is diminished."
