Love is not of the mind, it is not in the net of thought, it cannot be sought out, cultivated, cherished; it is there when the mind is silent and the heart is empty of the things of the mind.

It is only when the mind is free from the old that it meets everything anew, and in that there is joy.

The function of education is to help you from childhood not to imitate anybody, but be yourself all the time.

The only thing that really matters is that there be an action of goodness, love and intelligence in living. Is goodness individual or collective, is love personal or impersonal, is intelligence yours, mine or somebody else? If it is yours or mine then it is not intelligence, or love, or goodness. If goodness is an affair of the individual or of the collective, according to one's particular preference or decision, then it is no longer goodness.

It is only in a very quiet mind that great things are born; and a quiet mind does not come about through effort, through control, through discipline.

If you wish to produce a perfect rose, you must cut off the other buds which are spoiling the growth of the perfect flower.

Without love the acquisition of knowledge only increases confusion and leads to self-destruction.
