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.

You yourself are the teacher, and the pupil, you're the master, you're the guru, you are the leader, you are everything! And, to understand is to transform what is.

A mind that is afraid withers away; it cannot function properly.

Does a human being know the responsibility he has to himself and to all of mankind

Activity that perishes, that is not productive of the eternal, of the lasting, is of very little use.

You are this, which does not satisfy, so you want to be that. If there were an understanding of this, would that come into being? Because you do not understand this, you create that, hoping through that to understand or to escape from this.

Belief creates its own experience; therefore, such an experience is not true.
