“ You are in charge of your own karma,
your own life, your own spiritual path,
and your own liberation,
just as I am in charge of mine. ”
“ The secret, or innermost, level of wisdom is pure intuition,
clarity, lucidity, innate wakefulness, presence, and recognition of reality.
This transcendental wisdom is within all of us-
it just needs to be discovered and developed, unfolded and actualized. ”
“ Other people can’t cause us to be impatient
unless we let them do so.
In other words, others don’t make us impatient.
We make ourselves impatient, through our expectations and demands,
fixated attachments and stuckness. ”
