“I just sit at a typewriter and curse a bit.”
“Have you seen this video of these cows who have been in a dairy farm, a really shitty one, their entire lives, and they're let out into a field, and they're literally jumping with joy? It's crazy. I don't have any trouble completely becoming that cow. There's no "What is it really like to be a cow?" kind of question anymore. There's no question at that moment whether I understand you completely. I think there is, in that moment, a possible total sympathy. Total sharing.”

You are part of a special generation. You were prepared and preserved to live at this important time in the existence of our beautiful planet earth. You have a celestial pedigree and therefore have all the necessary talents to make your life an eternal success story.”
“How many times have you tried to solve â€œthe problemâ€? youâ€™ll be trying to solve it not just until you die but for many more lifetimes. Instead, understand that this world is just the play of the senses. Itâ€™s the five khandhas doing their thing; it has nothing to do with you. Itâ€™s just people being people, the world being the world.”
