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.

You will begin to realize that if you contemplate long enough on the leaf of the flower, that it involves the whole universe.

Irrevocable commitment to any religion is not only intellectual suicide; it is positive unfaith because it closes the mind to any new vision of the world. Faith is, above all, openness - an act of trust in the unknown.

There is an ineffable mystery that underlies ourselves and the world. It is the darkness from which the light shines. When you recognize the integrity of the universe and that death is as certain as birth, then you can relax and accept that this is the way it is. There is nothing else to do.

You are a function of what the whole universe is doing in the same way that a wave is a function of what the whole ocean is doing.

Problems that remain persistently insoluble should always be suspected as questions asked in the wrong way.

The question is not what I should do in the future to get it, but rather, what am I presently doing that prevents me from realizing it right now?
