You're so ashamed of your past; drop it! You're so proud of your past; drop it!

And increasingly - you know this and so do I we're losing the youth everywhere. They hate us; they are not interested in having more fears and guilt laid on them. They're not interested in more sermons and exhortations. But they are interested in learning about love. How can I be happy? How can I live? How can I taste the marvelous things that the mystics speak of?

Problems exist only in the human mind.

The important thing is not to know who "I" is or what "I" is. You'll never succeed. There are no words for it. The important thing is to drop the labels.

Live your life as you see fit. That's not selfish. Selfish is to demand that others live their lives as you see fit.

Most people don't live aware lives. They live mechanical lives, mechanical thoughts - generally somebody else's - mechanical emotions, mechanical actions, mechanical reactions.

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