In reality art is always for everyone and for no one.
Meditation means removing all your prejudices, putting all your conclusions aside, seeing without any hindrance, seeing without any curtains, seeing clearly without any mediation of any thought, seeing without Buddha standing between you and reality, or Krishna, or Christ.
In truth, there are only two realities: the one for people who are in love or love each other, and the one for people who are standing outside all that.
There was only one reality, and Christ was Lord over all of it, or none.
The smaller your reality, the more convinced you are that you know everything.
It gave me strength and toughness because I had to face reality, no matter how uncomfortable or painful it was.
We have such a knee-jerk reaction to our young people, not recognizing our young people carry the torch. We condemn them for their hats worn a certain way or their hoodie worn a certain way, or their pants sagging a certain way, but the reality is, we need to meet them where they stand. We need to arm them with what they need to fight, and then we need to get the hell out the way and let them lead. That is something that is not happening in our communities.
I can't help but react to the painful realities of the two-tiered society we live in, where the signs of poverty and inequity are everywhere.

In reality, everything is within; the outer is just a projection. Fear is within you; it is projected as a hell. Hell is just a projected image on the screen - of the fear that is within you, of the anger, of the jealousy, of all that is poisonous in you, of all that is evil in you. Heaven is, again, a projected image on the screen - of all that is good and beautiful, of all that is blissful within you.
There's nothing that irritates Americans more than the fact that some members of Congress think they are entitled to their own set of rules. And it's true - too many people in Washington live in an alternate reality.
What rules the world is idea, because ideas define the way reality is perceived.
Specific protection must be granted to human rights defenders and whistleblowers who have in some contexts been accused of being unpatriotic, whereas they perform, in reality, a democratic service to their countries and to the enjoyment of human rights of their compatriots.
A strong, clear vision holds the power to transcend your current reality, bypassing the day-to-day challenges that might be keeping you stuck where you are. What is your vision?
You're an island of reality in an ocean of diarrhea.
We must start with the reality that corporations cannot guarantee anyone a lifetime job any more than corporations have a guarantee of immortality.
We must admit with humility that, while number is purely a product of our minds, space has a reality outside our minds, so that we cannot completely prescribe its properties a priori.
In terms of 'Seinfeld', I think there's lot of reality in a show that's supposed to be about nothing.
In reality, climate change is actually the biggest thing thats going on every single day.
I must confess that I know nothing whatsoever about true underlying reality, never having met any.
