No one imagines that a symphony is supposed to improve as it goes along, or that the whole object of playing is to reach the finale. The point of music is discovered in every moment of playing and listening to it. It is the same, I feel, with the greater part of our lives, and if we are unduly absorbed in improving them we may forget altogether to live them.

Everyone has love, but it can only come out when he is convinced of the impossibility and the frustration of trying to love himself.

Basically, there is simply nothing to worry about, because you yourself are the eternal energy of the universe.

The harder we try to catch hold of the moment, to seize a pleasant sensation..., the more elusive it becomes... It is like trying to clutch water in one's hands - the harder one grips, the faster it slips through one's fingers.

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.

Better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing than a long life spent in a miserable way.

Muddy water is best cleared by leaving it alone.
