Loneliness is not cured by human company. Loneliness is cured by contact with reality.

People who want a cure, provided they can have it without pain, are like those who favour progress, provided they can have it without change.

Life is easy, life is delightful. It's only hard on your illusions, your ambitions, your greed, your cravings.

Waking up is unpleasant, you know. You are nice and comfortable in bed. It is irritating to be woken up. That's the reason the wise guru will not attempt to wake people up. I hope I'm going to be wise here and make no attempt whatsoever to wake you up if you are asleep. It is really none of my business, even though I say to you at times, "Wake up!" My business is to do my thing, to dance my dance. If you profit from it fine; if you don't, too bad! As the Arabs say, "The nature of rain is the same, but it makes thorns grow in the marshes and flowers in the gardens."

Nothing has changed but my attitude, therefore, everything has changed.

The day you are happy for no reason whatsoever, the day you find yourself taking delight in everything and in nothing, you will know that you have found the land of unending joy called the kingdom.

All conflict comes from attachment.
