Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all the
coward fears.
To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists
who control the fool.
To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious
treasures to be stolen.
To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you
love into slavery.

Dirty Word
Angry is only a dirty word to
folks who are interested in
maintaining the status quo.

Seeing My Work
I began to see my work was purification. It was getting my theme straight, it was lightening up my attachments, getting out of living such a complicated life, simplifying my life, relating to other human beings so that when I met another person I found the place in them where we are and I didn't get caught and lost in the melodrama of our relationships.

The Greatest Blessing
My vision of the new man is of a rebel, of a man who is in search of his original self, of his original face. A man who is ready to drop all masks, all pretension, all hypocrisies, and show the world what he, in reality, is. Whether he is loved or condemned, respected, honored or dishonored, crowned or crucified, does not matter, because to be yourself is the greatest blessing in existence.

No Need for Anybody
Aloneness is the presence of oneself.
Aloneness is very positive. It is a
presence, overflowing presence.
You are so full of presence that you
can fill the whole universe with
your presence and there is no need
for anybody.

Nothing Else
If you are not capable of being alone,
your relationship is false. It is just a
trick to avoid your loneliness,
nothing else.

Right Action Arises
Do you have the patience to wait
Till your mud settles and the water is clear?
Can you remain unmoving
Till the right action arises by itself?

The Capacity to Love
The capacity to be alone is the capacity to love.
It may look paradoxical to you, but it's not.
It is an existential truth: only those who are
capable of being alone are capable of love,
of sharing, of going into the deepest core of
another person - without possessing the other,
without becoming dependent on the other,
without reducing the other to a thing, and
without becoming addicted to the other.
They allow the other absolute freedom,
because they know that if the other leaves,
they will be as happy as they are now.
Their happiness cannot be taken by the other,
because it is not given by the other.

Loving an Animal
Until one has loved an animal,
a part of one's soul remains
unawakened.

Love is About Appreciation
If you love a flower, don't pick it up.
Because if you pick it up, it dies and
it ceases to be what you love. So, if
you love a flower, let it be. Love is
not about possession. Love is about
appreciation.

Awakening You Again
It's absolutely wonderful
to have a daily practice
because most of us are
very deeply in the world
and we get lost very easily
into the stuff of life.
So it's important to have
a daily practice that keeps
reminding you and pulling
you back and awakening
you again.

Freedom
Part of allowing the whole world to wake up is the whole world is free, everybody is free to be as they are. Until the whole world is free to agree with you or disagree with you, until you've given the freedom to each and everybody to like you or not like you, to love you or hate you, to see things as you see them or to see things differently, until you've given the whole world its freedom, then you'll never have your freedom.

Kind of a Shift
Life is so beautiful, especially
when I'm absent from it.
Don't get me wrong, Jim Carrey
was a great character and I was
lucky to get the part, but I don't
think of that as me anymore ...
I used to be a guy who was
experiencing the world and now
I feel like the world and
the universe experiencing a guy.
So there's been kind of a shift.
