“You have to surrender everything because you don’t know how it’s going to turn out. That’s what makes it all so mysterious.”

“To have firm conviction and to be able to surrender – that’s a strong combination. However, don’t let your convictions make a convict out of you.”

“In a sense, all life is a prank. We are not who we appear to be and no one else is as they appear to be. So how can we handle that little mystery? This whole business about God – what’s that all about? No one knows anything about that either. So we have people who are not as they appear to be, telling us about something that they have no idea about. We really are on our own here to try and figure it out. That’s the real adventure of it. Some people are anxious to tell you what they know and have experienced. I’d rather hear from some people who admit to what they don’t know and haven’t experienced. They’re much more interesting.”

“Everything that has happened to us up to this point is, in a sense, our history, yet it’s a total mysterious mystery. How can we diffuse the emotions? We do this by taking away the devotion to drama. All drama leads to more karma. Don’t be a karma farmer.”

“Karma is everything that’s happened to you up to this point. You have to let everything go – especially the “bad things”, that’s where the work is.”

“You absolutely don't know what's going to happen next - that's surrender.”

“Do whatever you have to do that’s right in front you. Let everything else go. That’s concentration.”
