If you have a boring, insipid, mouse-like life where you're just afraid to be or do anything, then you don't bring much into your next life. You don't bring much power.
Frederick Lenz
Image
If your nature is infinite awareness trapped in a body, suddenly there's a lack of happiness, a lack of freedom. No matter what you get you'll never be happy, because these are all trinkets.
Frederick Lenz
Image
I realized after being married for some time that it wasn't enough. It wasn't enough to lead an individual life where I loved on person and we created a world together.

Image
Where is truth? Is there truth in what I am doing now?
Frederick Lenz
Image
It is only in Samadhi that you'll begin to get an inkling of who you are and finally, it is only in nirvana that this perfect truth will become clear.
