People on a spiritual path - personal growth, spiritual practice, recovery, yoga and so forth - are the last people who should be sitting out the social and political issues of our day.

The spiritual path - is simply the journey of living our lives. Everyone is on a spiritual path; most people just don't know it.

The average man is hooked to his fellow men, while the warrior is hooked only to infinity.

Riots born out of political issues aren't the same as those born out of personal greed.

This lasting change can essentially be achieved in two ways: through suffering or through wisdom. Either we painfully push forward through any obstacle or disappointment, learning our lessons the hard way and emerging from the experience more mature, or we choose a path of love, consciousness, and wisdom, which also makes us mature, but in a far more enjoyable and effective manner.

Many people are so poor that the only thing they have is money. Cultivate your spiritual growth.
