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.

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.

Hitler and Mussolini were only the primary spokesmen for the attitude of domination and craving for power that are in the heart of almost everyone. Until the source is cleared, there will always be confusion and hate, wars and class antagonisms.

All life is a movement in relationship. There is no living thing on earth which is not related to something or other.

To go far you must begin near, and the nearest step is the most important one.

Here is my secret: I don't mind what happens.

Being discontented, we either seek a different job or merely succumb to environment...instead of causing us to question life, the whole process of existence.
