The power of the present moment is so immense it is capable - when lived in fully - of destroying forever every past mistake and regret. - Vernon Howard

The delusion of having wisdom creates the dangerous delusion of having power, leading to disaster.

A perfect method for awakening is to examine the results of our daily actions. If they are harmful, we know we need more consciousness.

A person obsessed with the need to be happy will never be so. The obsession is the obstruction. He does not really seek happiness, rather he seeks for a condition which matches his personal idea regarding the nature of happiness. But happiness is not a mere idea, for one idea will always have competition from another idea. The is why the unhappy man chases for ever from one attraction to another. Happiness will come when he stops chasing, that is, when he stops thinking that an idea about happiness is the same as happiness. A man enjoying the sunshine does so without analysing it.
