To learn about oneself, a living thing, you have to watch, learn anew each minute.

I should say that all compromise is a "stepping down" of the Truth, is trying to reduce something which cannot be reduced, and that for anyone who has understood life these compromises are impossible.

A man who is not afraid is not aggressive, a man who has no sense of fear of any kind is really a free, a peaceful man.

When we talk about understanding, surely it takes place only when the mind listens completely - the mind being your heart, your nerves, your ears- when you give your whole attention to it.

Only when the mind is still, tranquil, not expecting or grasping or resisting a single thing, is it possible to see what is true. It is the truth that liberates, not your effort to be free.

When you are free, you have no choice.

If you are lucky and work very hard, you may someday get to experience freedom from the known.
