Be your Self. When you are yourself the thoughts
come slowly to you until they cease. When the
thoughts become slower and slower in your mind, and
the thoughts begin to disappear, you automatically
become loving, compassionate and you will have
humility. In other words, the faster you get rid of your
thoughts, the faster these other things come, these
other qualities. So it is a matter of stopping your
thoughts. It is the thoughts that see everything in this
world as good and bad, right and wrong. As the
thoughts begin to subside, love comes by itself,
compassion comes by itself, and humility comes by
itself. So again, we have to stop thinking.”
