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

You are only afriad if you are not in harmony with yourself. People are afraid because they have never owned up to themselves. A whole society composed of men afraid of the unknown within them!

Love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is only your aversion to it that hurts, nothing else.

When someone is seeking, it happens quite easily that he only sees the thing that he is seeking; that he is unable to find anything, unable to absorb anything, because he is only thinking of the thing he is seeking, because he has a goal, because he is obsessed with his goal. Seeking means: to have a goal; but finding means: to be free, to be receptive, to have no goal. You, O worthy one, are perhaps indeed a seeker, for in striving towards your goal, you do not see many things that are under your nose.

Yes, I am going into the woods; I am going into the unity of all things.

Oh, love isn't there to make us happy. I believe it exists to show us how much we can endure.

Each man's life represents a road toward himself.
