When we’re motivated by compassion, our minds are relaxed and at ease. Fear and suspicion make us anxious so that even if we’re well-off we’re unhappy. Having a sense that other human beings are our brothers and sisters sets the mind at rest. These days we often rely on material things to be happy. What we need to do is to introduce a sense of inner values, compassion and affection, into our system of education. ~His Holiness the Dalai Lama

In the course of spiritual awakening, our social perceptions keep changing as we do this spiritual work. Many of us are in the peculiar predicament that we have built an entire ego structure about who we are and how we function, based on these emotionally-laden habits about individual differences...   

...Maharaji kept saying to me, ‘Ram Dass don’t you see it’s all perfect? Everybody is being just who they are.’
