In meditation you are not trying to change your experience; you are changing your relationship to your experience.

Nothing belongs to you or me. Nothing belongs. Everything, everything, everything simply is.

The secret gem of truth has been hidden in the core of your own heart all along. My invitation is to stop all movement of your mind away from truth so that you can discover directly, for yourself, this jewel that is alive within you.

De stilte verrast ons. Langzaam dieper zinkend wordt een onbekende wereld gevonden. Zonder afleiding van onszelf. De diamant binnenin wordt blootgelegd. Kijkend naar de adem vertraagt het tempo. En er wordt vrede gevonden.

To understand silence, the other side, the receiving side, should also be silent. Then there is a meeting of the hearts. Something starts falling into tune, harmony, a kind of synchronicity. Nothing is said, nothing is heard, but everything is understood. Lovers know it; just sitting side by side saying nothing, something goes on moving between them.

Being must be felt. It can't be thought.

If you see the illusion, you are enlightened, but if you think that you are enlightened, you ARE IN the illusion!

There’s no way to become happy. We simply need to stop doing the things that make us unhappy.

You say you want to get rid of the noise, but you and the noise go together. You have to be you without ‘you’ and all noise will stop. The real You is the formless witness within. The person, the noisy one, is only imagined. To recognize this is Freedom.

In a sacred moment, when attention is pulled inward, rather than continuing in its usual outward direction, silence is realized.

Don’t seek, don’t search, don’t ask, don’t knock, don’t demand – relax. If you relax, it comes. If you relax, it is there. If you relax, you start vibrating with it.
