“Everything in life that we really accept undergoes a change. So suffering must become Love. That is the mystery.”

“The more we resist the life changes the more we suffer AND to avoid that; Expect the changes, Accept them AND Believe that Life is going just perfectly the way it is...”

“If we want to change something, we must begin with understanding. But if we want to love something, we must begin with acceptance.”

“There is no reason for you to try to become like white people and there is no basis whatever for their impertinent assumption that *they* must accept *you*. The really terrible thing, old buddy, is that you must accept them. And I mean that very seriously. You must accept them and accept them with love.”

“What the word God means is the mystery really. It's the mystery that we face as humans the mystery of existence, of suffering and of death.”

“Could we change our attitude, we should not only see life differently, but life itself would come to be different. Life would undergo a change of appearance because we ourselves had undergone a change of attitude.”
