Learning is the very essence of humility . . .

Meditation is not a means to an end. It is both the means and the end.

There is no partial sensitivity; either it is the state of one's whole being, total consciousness or it is not there at all

Intelligence comes into being when the mind, the heart and the body are really harmonious.

I say that when you have perceived or attained the goal, compromises, renunciations, do not exist. If you have seen the goal, compromise ceases to exist. It is then a question of a different attitude.

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

Surely, it is only when the mind is creatively empty that it is capable of finding out whether there is an ultimate reality or not. But, the mind is never creatively empty; it is always acquiring, always gathering, living on the past or in the future, or trying to be focused in the immediate present: it is never in that state of creativeness in which a new thing can take place. As the mind is a result of time, it cannot possibly understand that which is timeless, eternal.
