If you study the writings of the mystics, you will always find things in them that appear to be paradoxes, as in Zen, particularly.

If we are not totally blind, what we are seeking is already here. This is it.

This-the immediate, everyday, and present experience-is IT, the entire and ultimate point for the existence of a universe.

Nothing fails like success—because the self-imposed task of our society and all its members is a contradiction: to force things to happen which are acceptable only when they happen without force.

The question "What shall we do about it?" is only asked by those who do not understand the problem. If a problem can be solved at all, to understand it and to know what to do about it are the same thing. On the other hand, doing something about a problem which you do not understand is like trying to clear away darkness by thrusting it aside with your hands. When light is brought, the darkness vanishes at once.

Life is not a problem to be solved, but an experience to be had.

When we dance, the journey itself is the point, as when we play music the playing itself is the point.
