If self-inquiry feels dull, take God's name
Is reminding someone God is here spiritual bypassing?
God loves you like you are the only one who exists
Faith is how you know love is still there
The voice that makes you feel bad asks to feel better
Who is at the center of your story?
The mind will never answer who you are
Silence is not the absence of words
Do not fear the sensation of fear
If spirituality still feels optional
The I am is not the problem
Do not fight the thought. Ask who witnesses it
Love God without asking for a taste
Who am I removes the premise of the problem
One moment of love in a hard day counts
If Skynet deleted every satsang
The perpetrator of the crime calls you a criminal
Don't speak anything spiritual unless it comes from Spirit
Trust God's silence as His answer
Prayer can be the babbling of a child
Your whole suffering is about a fake me
Faith and belief are not on the same planet
Who is at the center of the frame?
Peace is the goal and the pathway
Stand at God's doorway for one moment
Desire is a knot; the joy is only momentary
A gift from God cannot be taken away
Polish the mirror again and again
Give Maya an inch and it takes everything
The tiger does not know that I am Maya
One teaching, two lengths. Take what your day allows.
