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.

Did you ever sit quietly with your back straight, not moving, just only cherishing the beauty of silence?

If you realize that the ultimate happiness for all depends not on disorder of the emotions for either sex, but in harmonizing the emotions, all the problems will vanish.

To understand life is to understand ourselves, and that is both the beginning and the end of education.

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

Be a light unto oneself

Sorrow is not in death but in loneliness, and conflict comes when you seek consolation, forgetfullness, explanations, and illusions.
