Frederick Lenz
Image
If you become obsessive in spiritual practice, if you just try and try, you are not going to be happy. You are going to be obsessive.

Image
There are some teachers who just perform miracles. They can manifest things from the other world into this world. They have siddha powers. They are not necessarily enlightened.
Frederick Lenz
Image
When you become angry at someone, your anger will actually have a power. You can hit somebody in a non-physical way and it can injure that being.
Frederick Lenz
Image
An enlightened person lives in the world, passes through the ten thousand states of mind, but they are not bound by them. They can go beyond perception.
