Freedom comes with self-knowledge, when the mind goes above and beyond the hindrances it has created for itself.

The world is not something separate from you and me; the world, society, is the relationship that we establish or seek to establish between each other. So you and I are the problem, and not the world, because the world is the projection of ourselves, and to understand the world we must understand ourselves. That world is not separate from us; we are the world, and our problems are the world's problems.

It is necessary that one be a light to oneself in a world that is becoming utterly dark.

Real freedom is not something to be acquired, it is the outcome of intelligence.

Put away the book, the description, the tradition, the authority, and take the journey of self-discovery.

When the mind is relaxed, no longer making an effort, when it is quiet for just a few seconds, then the problem reveals itself and it is solved. That happens when the mind is still, in the interval between two thoughts, between two responses. In that state of mind, understanding comes.

Learning is the very essence of humility . . .
