The moment you follow someone you cease to follow Truth.

National discord is, like religion, a standardized form of revolt; and the moment a revolt is standardized, it is no longer a revolt.

Truth is something which you must see immediately — and to see something clearly you must give your heart and your mind and your whole being to it immediately.

Life is both pleasure and pain, is it not? But why should we cling to pleasure and avoid pain? Why not merely live with both? If you cling to pleasure what happens? You get attached, do you not?

Only when your hearts are empty of the things of the mind, is there love. Then you will know what it is to love without separation, without distance, without time, without fear.

If people who say they love their children meant it, would there be war? And would there be division of nationalities - would there be these separations?

Most people like to live in illusions.
