It is obvious that the only interesting people are interested people, and to be completely interested is to have forgotten about "I".

When you really understand that you are what you see and know, you do not run around the countryside thinking, "I am all this!" There is simply all this.

A philosopher is a sort of intellectual yokel who gawks at things that sensible people take for granted.

But we try to pretend, you see, that the external world exists altogether independently of us.

To remain stable is to refrain from trying to separate yourself from a pain because you know that you cannot. Running away from fear is fear, fighting pain is pain, trying to be brave is being scared. If the mind is in pain, the mind is pain. The thinker has no other form than his thought. There is no escape.

The Highest to which people can attain is wonder; and if the prime phenomenon makes them wonder, let them be content; nothing higher can it give them, and nothing further should they seek for behind it; there is the limit.

It is the seeker, who understands there is more than what meets the eye, who is not afraid and makes the choice to go into the unknown. The process of awaking has begun, the discovery is underway.
