Change in society is of secondary importance; that will come about naturally, inevitably, when you as a human being bring about the change in yourself.

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

Only the mind that has emptied itself of the known is creative. That is creation. What it creates has nothing to do with it. Freedom from the known is the state of a mind that is in creation.

Love is the most practical thing in the world. To love, to be kind, not to be greedy, not to be ambitious, not to be influenced by people but to think for yourself-these are all very practical things, and they will bring about a practical, happy society.

To meditate is to observe yourself, for you are totally responsible for your body, mind, thought.

Without knowing yourself, there is no peace.

Imagination builds the image of the self, and thought then functions within its shadows. From this self-concept grows the conflict between what is and what should be, the conflict in duality.
