"The core of all the great spiritual teachings and teachers can be surmised in a few simple paragraphs. ...

Choose to be easygoing, benign, forgiving, compassionate, and unconditionally loving towards all life in all its expressions ...

Avoid negativity and the desire for worldliness and its greed for pleasure and possessions. ...

Seek to understand rather than to condemn. Venerate the teachers of these basic principles and ignore all others. Apply these principles to one's view of oneself as well as of others. ..."


(The Eye of the I, 101)

"The spiritual quest is classically likened to a pathway, a journey, or a venture. Unfortunately, the naive seeker often goes unprepared on a difficult journey without the necessary tools. In the ordinary world, we depend on many safety measures. ... Thus, caution comes from wisdom, not from fear. Prudence requires awareness of the pitfalls to be avoided."
