There is no such thing as living alone, for all living is relationship; but to live without direct relationship demands high intelligence, a swifter and greater awareness for self-discovery.

It is more important to find out what you are giving to society than to ask what is the right means of livelihood.

Observe, and in that observation there is neither the "observer" nor the "observed" - there is only observation taking place.

The first thing to realize in meditation is that there is no authority, that the mind must be completely free to examine, to observe, to learn. And so there is no following, no accepting, no obedience.

When the mind is relaxed, no longer making an effort, when it is quiet for just a few seconds, then the problem reveals itself and it is solved. That happens when the mind is still, in the interval between two thoughts, between two responses. In that state of mind, understanding comes.

Freedom lies beyond the field of consciousness.

Those who play a safe game die very safely.
