• Podemos luchar contra lo que es. Podemos juzgar y culpar a los demás o a nosotros mismos. O podemos aceptar lo que no se puede cambiar. La paz viene de un corazón honorable y abierto que acepta lo que es verdad. ¿Queremos quedarnos estancados? ¿O soltar el sentido temeroso de nosotros mismos y descansar amablemente donde estamos?

• Es cierto que el corazón tiene sus estaciones, igual que una flor se abre a la luz del sol y se cierra a la noche. Tenemos que ser respetuosos con esos ritmos. Pero no podemos cerrarnos por mucho tiempo. Nuestra verdadera naturaleza es tener el corazón abierto.

• La indiferencia pretende crear paz, pero se basa en el desinterés, en una resignación silenciosa. Es un alejamiento, una separación alimentada por un sutil miedo del corazón. Nos apartamos, creyendo que lo que les ocurre a los demás no nos concierne. Nuestro valor nos abandona. La indiferencia es una forma equivocada de defendernos.

• La mente no despierta tiende a hacer la guerra contra la forma en que son las cosas. Para seguir un camino con corazón, debemos comprender todo el proceso de hacer la guerra dentro y fuera de nosotros, cómo empieza y cómo acaba. Las raíces de la guerra están en la ignorancia. Sin comprensión podemos asustarnos fácilmente por los cambios fugaces de la vida, las pérdidas inevitables, las decepciones, la inseguridad de nuestro envejecimiento y la muerte. La incomprensión nos lleva a luchar contra la vida, huyendo del dolor o aferrándonos a seguridades y placeres que por su naturaleza nunca pueden ser satisfactorios.

• Concédeme que sufra lo suficiente para que mi corazón se abra realmente a la gran compasión de este mundo, que se me dé lo suficiente para que no me aísle del mundo, que rompa el corazón y la separación y el ego y el miedo, y me permita tocar el néctar, la leche de la bondad misma, de algo más grande.

• In spiritual life there is no room for compromise. Awakening is not negotiable; we cannot bargain to hold on to things that please us while relinquishing things that do not matter to us. A lukewarm yearning for awakening is not enough to sustain us through the difficulties involved in letting go. It is important to understand that anything that can be lost was never truly ours, anything that we deeply cling to only imprisons us.

• Forgiveness sees wisely. It willingly acknowledges what is unjust, harmful, and wrong. It bravely recognizes sufferings of the past, and understands the conditions that brought them about.Forgiveness honors the heart's greatest dignity. Whenever we are lost, it brings us back to the ground of love.Without forgiveness our lives are chained, forced to carry the sufferings of the past and repeat them with no release.

• The purpose of spiritual life is not to create some special state of mind. A state of mind is always temporary. The purpose is to work directly with the most primary elements of our body and our mind, to see the ways we get trapped by our fears, desires, and anger, to learn directly our capacity for freedom.

• Love creates a communion with life. Love expands us, connects us, sweetens us, ennobles us. Love springs up in tender concern, it blossoms into caring action. It makes beauty out of all we touch. In any moment we can step beyond our small self and embrace each other as beloved parts of a whole.

• It is the basic principle of spiritual life that we learn the deepest things in unknown territory. Often it is when we feel most confused inwardly and are in the midst of our greatest difficulties that something new will open. We awaken most easily to the mystery of life through our weakest side. The areas of our greatest strength, where we are the most competent and clearest, tend to keep us away from the mystery.

• Encontrar la manera de perdonarnos a nosotros mismos es una de nuestras tareas más esenciales. Al igual que otros se han visto atrapados en el sufrimiento, nosotros también. Si miramos honestamente nuestra vida, podemos ver las penas y el dolor que nos han llevado a cometer nuestros propios errores. De este modo, podemos perdonarnos a nosotros mismos; podemos sentir compasión por el dolor que hemos causado. Sin esa misericordia, viviremos nuestra propia vida en el exilio.

• When the stories of our life no longer bind us, we discover within them something greater. We discover that within the very limitations of form, of our maleness and femaleness, of our parenthood and our childhood, of gravity on the earth and the changing of the seasons, is the freedom and harmony we have sought for so long. Our individual life is an expression of the whole mystery, and in it we can rest in the center of the movement, the center of all worlds.
