As soon as you look at the world through an ideology, you are finished. No reality fits ideology.

When you cling, life is destroyed; when you hold on to anything, you cease to live.

You have to understand, my dears, that the shortest distance between truth and a human being is a story.

People who deliberate fully before they take a step will spend their lives on one leg

Problems exist only in the human mind.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we had a world where everybody said, 'We don't know?' The fact is that you're surrounded -God and you don't see God, because you KNOW ABOUT God. The final barrier to the vision of God is your God concept. You miss God because you think you know. The highest knowledge of God is to know God as unknowable. All revelations, however divine, are never any more than a finger pointing at the moon. As we say in the East, 'When the sage points to the moon, all the idiot sees is the finger'.

When you fight something, you're tied to it forever. As long as you're fighting it, you’re giving it power.
