His notable quotes:
“When human love becomes pure it transcends to divine love…love becomes religion and the beloved becomes god.”
“True love is being utterly alone in the stream of truth or cosmic consciousness. It is being completely aware and living life to the fullest.”
“What the world needs is shift from our hearts…a new consciousness responsive to the challenges of the new millennium.
“The most powerful and potent force lies in your heart. It is your heart-held intentions that give you indefatigable energy, stamina and will, the heart’s way to reach your goals, whether it is to attract love, wealth, health or knowledge.”
“The light that allows the mind to function comes from the heart.”
“Once you get anchored in the purity of the heart, meaningful coincidences and synchronistic events start showing up in your life.”
