Teaching means to show a person that something is possible.

...nobody can stand truth if it is told to him. Truth can be tolerated only if you discover it yourself because then, the pride of discovery makes the truth palatable.

Learning is to discover that something is possible. We are using most of our energies for self-destructiv e games, self-preventing games. We prevent ourselves from growing the very moment something unpleasant, something painful comes up. At that moment we become phobic, we run away, we desensitize ourselves. Neurotic suffering is suffering in imagination, suffering in fantasy.

You are you, and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, it's beautiful. If not, it can't be helped.

You cannot achieve happiness. Happiness happens and is a transitory stage. Imagine how happy I felt when I got relief from bladder pressure. How long did that happiness last?

Have a dialogue between the two opposing parts and you will find that they always start out fighting each other until we come to an appreciation of difference.

The person most in control is the person who can give up control.
