The whole idea is you have to let go of all types of longings, wantings, desires. You have to become a true devotee. It means you don’t care anymore. You’re not interested in getting anywhere or trying to do anything. Simply get lost in the teaching itself. Without looking for answers, without trying to become enlightened. Without saying I have to do this, I have to do that. You just live every moment, by moment, by moment in devotion, in love, in joy, not thinking whether you’re going to get enlightened or not get enlightened. Whether you’ll make it in this life or not. The person who is like this is already enlightened, already free.

No one who learns to think can go back to obey as he did before, not out of a rebellious spirit, but out of the habit he has acquired to question and examine everything.

~ Hannah Arendt

She said, ‘I’ve learned that

whenever I decide something with an

open heart, I usually make the right

decision. I’ve learned that even when

I have pains, I don’t have to be one.

I’ve learned that every day you should

reach out and touch someone. People
