There are laws in some countries, I believe, which prohibit anyone from following you in the street, and if someone does, he can be arrested and put into prison. So, spiritually, I wish there were a police system which would put people into a spiritual prison for following others. In fact, it does happen automatically.

We all want to be famous people, and the moment we want to be something we are no longer free.

We are to learn about fear, not how to escape from it.

Meditation is not a withdrawal from life. Meditation is a process of understanding oneself.

One must know oneself as one is, not as one wishes to be, which is merely an ideal and therefore fictitious, unreal; it is only that which is that can be transformed, not that which you wish to be.

Sorrow is not in death but in loneliness, and conflict comes when you seek consolation, forgetfullness, explanations, and illusions.

You cannot lay down a standard which all must follow.
