Happy is the man who is nothing.

Joy is something entirely different from pleasure.

Each breath is transforming me into thine image.

Our conflict is in relationship, at all levels of our existence; and the understanding of this relationship, completely and extensively, is the only real problem that each one has.

Using another as a means of satisfaction and security is not love. Love is never security; love is a state in which there is no desire to be secure; it is a state of vulnerability.

Only when the mind is tranquil-through self-knowledge and not through imposed self-discipline-only then, in that tranquillity, in that silence, can reality come into being. It is only then that there can be bliss, that there can be creative action.

Goodness is not in the backyard of the individual nor in the open field of the collective; goodness flowers only in freedom from both.
