Be willing to be where you actually are. In my experience, that is the most inherently meaningful experience you can have.

The heart, like the grape, is prone to delivering its harvest in the same moment it appears to be crushed.

The body is the doorway to the timeless, because the body is always where we are and always in the present moment.

If you allow yourself to fully feel the life you're in - not conceptually, but viscerally in the present moment - then that is inherently meaningful.

Love, like everything else, exists in a spectrum. Love of another, love of the world, love of God, all these loves are really one love in different degrees of light and density.

When the heart opens, we forget ourselves and the world pours in: this world, and also the invisible world of meaning that sustains everything that was and ever shall be.

We have all had serendipitous moments - the most unlikely meetings out of nowhere - that can happen when we have this quality of deep acceptance towards ourselves.

Day by day, tiny specks of us float away.

Just because you can't see them and you can't hear them, that doesn't mean they're not here.

Music is my friend, no matter where I go.

Psycholog­y is in its infancy, as a science. I hope in the interests of Art, it will always remain so.

Only when it is a duty to love, only then is love eternally and happily secured against despair.

What saves me from being a drug addict is sort of the opposite. It's me realizing that I don't really control anything.
