You have no say in your life – and yet there is one decision that rests solely with you: which direction your life will take. The mind cannot understand how both of these things can be true at the same time – but this is precisely where the freedom we seek everywhere begins.

To hope is to wait for something that is yet to come. Certainty you can only within yourself: When you stop listening to anyone gds not even your own thoughts – and become still, knowing nothing – then God kisses you, and words like “Heaven” and “Soul” come alive.

Many believe that the body stands in the way of the inner journey – that you must forget it or even weaken it in order to become truly spiritual. Yet it is not an obstacle, but rather a mirror without which you could never discover what you are beyond it. And how you care for it determines whether everything becomes easy or difficult.

The ups and downs of life are not a misfortune, but its very nature – and more than that: only those who willingly embrace the transitory can find the eternal. The storm you seek to flee from points you toward the safe rock. Anyone who lives, loves, and meditates without expectation can discover it.

The past and the future feel so real – and yet they are just thoughts. If you practice not paying attention to them, you’ll discover: there is no “before” and no “after.” Your life remains the same, but what used to trouble you is no longer a problem.

I always advise you to say Yes to what is – but today I’ll let you in on my secret: in reality, this is impossible. You can’t just say Yes. But simply breaking a habit you’ve had for ages, that’s possible – and your life will become simple.

Life is a paradoxical dream from which there seems to be no awakening – those who try only dream more deeply. Yet it happens all the same, though the path leads in an unexpected direction: inward. Those who say “yes” unconditionally to what they experience here begin to see.

There is no chasm between you and Jesus or Buddha – the difference is minuscule. You lack nothing; everything that Christ has, you have as well. There is only one thing he does differently from you – and it is precisely this one thing that you can practice, in a very practical way, every day.

Everyone says they want peace – yet hardly anyone can stand it when things actually become quiet and peaceful. What if it’s not the world’s problems that are keeping you from Heaven, but something much closer at hand – something within you, something you can change?

It’s only when serious illnesses threaten that we realize, helplessly, how dependent our happiness is on our bodies. Yet the greatest help for the body lies in your hands – and at the same time, it’s a challenge that most people avoid. But in reality, it’s quite simple.

We’ve forgotten how to live: instead, we are only thinking about what we’re experiencing. Why does intoxication feel so liberating, why is sex so intense? Because for a few moments, the words in our heads fall silent – and that’s exactly what anyone can do, at any time, in every moment.
