“Be in the world but not of it; become less attached to outcome and more attuned to outgo, which is the natural radiance of your being.”

“The less you get attached to your preferences, the less they will become your source of stress.”

“Pray to God that your attachment to such transitory things as wealth, name, and creature comforts may become less and less every day.”

“The more attuned you are to your partner's needs at the early stages -- and he or she to yours -- the less energy you will need to expend attending to him or her later.”

“What is the biggest obstacle to creativity? Attachment to outcome. As soon as you become attached to a specific outcome, you feel compelled to control and manipulate what you're doing and in the process you shut yourself off to other possibilities. Creativity is not just about succeeding. It's about experimenting and discovering.”

“[Let] go of your attachments: your attachment to being right, to having total control, or to living forever. This process of letting go is integral to the process of becoming whole.”
