Lovers should not separate from each other after making love without admiring each other, without being conquered as well as conquering, so that no feeling of satiation or desolation arises nor the horrid feeling of misusing or having been misused.

Every healthy person must have a goal in life and that life must have content.

You've never lived what you are thinking, and that isn't good. Only the ideas we actually live are of any value.

And here is a doctrine at which you will laugh. It seems to me, Govinda, that love is the most important thing in the world.

There is no reality except the one contained within us.

Loneliness is the way by which destiny endeavors to lead man to himself.

Rain Soft rain, summer rain Whispers from bushes, whispers from trees. Oh, how lovely and full of blessing To dream and be satisfied. I was so long in the outer brightness, I am not used to this upheaval: Being at home in my own soul, Never to be led elsewhere. I want nothing, I long for nothing, I hum gently the sounds of childhood, And I reach home astounded In the warm beauty of dreams. Heart, how torn you are, How blessed to plow down blindly, To think nothing, to know nothing, Only to breathe, only to feel.
