Do not believe what you have heard Do not believe in tradition because it is handed down many generations Do not believe in anything that has been spoken of many times Do not believe because the written statements come from some old sage Do not believe in conjecture Do not believe in authority, or teachers, or elders But after careful observation and analysis, when it agrees with reason and it will benefit one and all, then accept it and live by it.

Do not learn how to react. Learn how to respond.

Your actions are your only true belongings.

Only he who crosses the stream of life wishes to know what is known as unknowable.

Maintain a state of balance between physical acts and inner serenity,like a lute whose strings are finely tuned.

I am, I am not, I will be, I will not be are vein thoughts which is a sickness and once all are eliminated no desire arises.

It is the fool who is haunted by fears, dread of dangers, oppression of mind, not the wise man.
