If man has nothing to eat, fasting is the most intelligent thing he can do. If, for instance, Siddhartha had not learned to fast, he would have had to seek some kind of work today, either with you, or elsewhere, for hunger would have driven him. But as it is, Siddhartha can wait calmly. He is not impatient, he is not in need, he can ward off hunger for a long time and laugh at it. Therefore, fasting is useful, sir.

What could I say to you that would be of value, except that perhaps you seek too much, that as a result of your seeking you cannot find.

You must find your dream, then the way becomes easy.

Each man carries the vestiges of his birth; the slime and eggshells of his primeval past with him to the end of his days. Some never become human, remaining frog, lizard, ant. Some are human above the waist, fish below.

In the beginning was the myth.

Seeking means: to have a goal; but finding means: to be free, to be receptive, to have no goal.

Everyone can reach his goal, if he can think, wait and fast.
