A consistent thinker is a thoughtless person, because he conforms to a pattern; he repeats phrases and thinks in a groove.

Do you know that even when you look at a tree and say, `That is an oak tree', or `that is a banyan tree', the naming of the tree, which is botanical knowledge, has so conditioned your mind that the word comes between you and actually seeing the tree? To come in contact with the tree you have to put your hand on it and the word will not help you to touch it.

Order cannot possibly be brought about through conformity to a pattern, under any circumstances.

If you do not give your children freedom, when they grow up, they will break away from the family, and then your hearts will be broken.

It is much easier to condemn a child than to understand a child.

There is an art of seeing things as they are: without naming, without being caught in a network of words, without thinking interfering with perception.

Tradition, long conditioned thinking, can bring about a fixation, a concept that one readily accepts, perhaps not with a great deal of thought.
