The crisis is not in the outward technological advancement, but rather in the way we think, and the way we live, and the way we feel. I think that is where a revolution must take place.

To revolt within society in order to make it a little better, to bring about certain reforms, is like the revolt of prisoners to improve their life within the prison walls; and such revolt is no revolt at all, it is just mutiny. Do you see the difference? Revolt within society is like the mutiny of prisoners who want better food, better treatment within the prison; but revolt born of understanding is an individual breaking away from society, and that is creative revolution.

You may be reborn a thousand times, but you can never know the real, for only that which dies, that which comes to an end, can renew itself.

As long as the mind clings to belief, it is held in a prison.

Tell your friend that in his death, a part of you dies and goes with him. Wherever he goes, you also go. He will not be alone.

You cannot prevent a man getting drunk if he wishes to do so, but when he becomes a nuisance, then you interfere.

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