In this country, unfortunately, as all over the world, we care so little, we have no deep feeling about anything. Most of us are intellectual-intellectuals in the superficial sense of being very clever, full of words and theories about what is right and what is wrong, about how we should think, what we should do. Mentally we are highly developed, but inwardly there is very little substance or significance; and it is this inward substance that brings about true action, which is not action according to an idea.

If you begin to understand what you are without trying to change it, then what you are undergoes a transformation.

To come upon love without seeking it is the only way to find it.

Are you aware of the significance of every thought, of every reaction that you happen to have?

When we stop fighting with ourselves, we aren't creating anymore conflict in our mind. Then our mind can for the first time relax and be still. Then for the first time our consciousness can become whole and unfragmented. Then total attention can be given to all of our thoughts and feelings. And then there will be found a gentleness and a goodness in us that can embrace all that is been given in the world. Then a deep love for everything will be the result of this deep attention. For this total attention, this soft and pure consciousness that we are, is nothing but Love itself.

Space and time are real for the man who is yet imperfect, and space is divided for him into dimensions; time, into past, present, and future.

The man who lives without conflict, who lives with beauty and love, is not frightened of death because to love is to die.
