There is only one religion, the religion of Love.
There is only one caste, the caste of Humanity.
There is only one race, the Human Race.

The single fact of existing is already a true happiness.

It is not our condition, but the caliber of our soul, that makes us happy.

In cultivating compassion we draw from the wholeness of our experience - our suffering, our empathy, as well as our cruelty and terror. It has to be that way. Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others.

One common mistake is to think that one reality is the reality. You must always be prepared to leave one reality for a greater one.

Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who receives them, and they bless you, the giver.
