Nothing has changed but my attitude, therefore, everything has changed.
Anthony de Mello
You're so ashamed of your past drop it! You're so proud of your past drop it!

Anthony de Mello
The Master made it his task to destroy systematically every doctrine, every belief, every concept of the divine, for these things, which were originally intended as pointers, were now being taken as descriptions. He loved to quote the Eastern saying When the sage points to the moon, all that the idiot sees is the finger.
Anthony de Mello
I seek the meaning of existence, said the stranger. You are of course assuming, said the Master, that existence has a meaning. Doesn't it? When you experience existence as it is - not as you think it is you will discover that your question has no meaning, said the Master.
Anthony de Mello
We're crazy, We're living on crazy ideas about love, about relationships, about happiness, about joy, about everything.
Anthony de Mello
You will seek for God in vain till you understand that God can't be seen as a thing he needs a special way of looking - similar to that of little children whose sight is undistorted by prefabricated doctrines and beliefs.
Anthony de Mello
What is love? The total absence of fear, said the Master What is it we fear? Love, said the Master.
Anthony de Mello
The sun and its light, the ocean and the wave, the singer and his song — not one. Not two.
Anthony de Mello
Said the master: Where does your question come from?
Anthony de Mello
These things will destroy the human race: politics without principle, progress without compassion, wealth without work, learning without silence, religion without fearlessness and worship without awareness.
Anthony de Mello
Extend your arms in welcome to the future. The best is yet to come!
Anthony de Mello
The feigning sleeper can delude others he cannot delude himself. The false mystic, unfortunately, can delude both others and himself.
Anthony de Mello
A disciple said to him, I am ready, in the quest for God , to give up anything: wealth, friends, family, country, life itself. What else can a person give up? The Master calmly replied, One's beliefs about God.
Anthony de Mello
Any time you are with anyone or think of anyone you must say to yourself: I am dying and this person too is dying, attempting the while to experience the truth of the words you are saying. If every one of you agrees to practice this, bitterness will die out, harmony will arise.
Anthony de Mello
When I speak, you must not listen to the words, my dear. Listen to the Silence.
Anthony de Mello
There's only one reason why you're not experiencing bliss at this present moment, and it's because you're thinking or focusing on what you don't have....But, right now you have everything you need to be in bliss.
Anthony de Mello
