“There is no enlightenment outside of daily life.”

“Enlightenment means taking full responsibility for your life.”

“If the life we live in this world is wholly for Christ, it is a life of daily surrender.”

“The worst thing you could do in your life is to be determined NOT TO BE AFFECTED by life. This is the harm that the glorification of the "enlightened guru" has done to us. The enlightened guru seems unaffected by life. This could not be further from the truth. The enlightened person lets himself be completely penetrated by life, but in the absence of resistance to that penetration, in the absence of resistance to being affected, there is nothing in him for life to injure or destroy. If you strive to be unaffected by life, the resistance you have is to FEELING.”

“Can I live a life, daily life, without sense of self-concern?”

“Standing outside the fire;
Standing outside the fire.
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire.”

“The solution to all the problems of daily life is to cherish others.”

“For a writer, life must be the focus that death illuminates daily.”

“From the haunts of daily life
Where is waged the daily strife
With common wants and common cares
Which sows the human heart with tares.”

“Must manage your thought life daily and then you can manage your life.”
