Nothing satisfies an individual incapable of enjoyment.

If a flower had a God it would not be a transcendental flower but a field.

We suffer from a hallucination, from a false and distorted sensation of our own existence as living organisms. Most of us have the sensation that "I myself" is a seperate center of feeling and action, living inside and bounded by the physical body-a center which "confronts" an "external" world of people and things, making contact through the senses with a universe both alien and strange.

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's so important to consider this question: What do I desire?

Meditation is the way in which we come to feel our basic inseparability from the whole universe, and what that requires is that we shut up.

The role of the Guru is to show the person that he already has what he is looking for.
