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

Religion becomes a matter of belief, and belief acts as a limitation on the mind; and the mind then is never free. But it is only in freedom that you can find out what is true, what is God, not through any belief; because your belief projects what you think God ought to be, what you think ought to be true. If you believe God is love, God is good, God is this or that, your very belief prevents you from understanding what is God, what is true.

Did you ever sit quietly with your back straight, not moving, just only cherishing the beauty of silence?

One is never afraid of the unknown; one is afraid of the known coming to an end.

The ending is the beginning, and the beginning is the first step, and the first step is the only step.

Religion, it seems to me, has nothing whatsoever to do with any belief, with any priest, with any church or so-called sacred book. The state of the religious mind can be understood only when we begin to understand what beauty is; and the understanding of beauty must be approached through total aloneness.

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.
