Find out for yourself what are the possesions and ideals that you do not desire. By knowing what you do not want, by elimination, you will unburden the mind, and only then will it understand the essential which is ever there.

You can only be afraid of what you think you know.

Begin where you are. Read every word, every phrase, every paragraph of the mind, as it operates through thought.

I do not know if you have ever noticed that the more you struggle to understand, the less you understand any problem. But, the moment you cease to struggle and let the problem tell you the whole story, give all its significance - then there is understanding, which means, obviously, that to understand, the mind must be quiet.

The ability to observe without evaluating is the highest form of intelligence.

Religion, politics, society are exploiting you, and you are being conditioned by them; you are being forced in a particular direction. You are not human beings; you are mere cogs in a machine.

There is no partial sensitivity; either it is the state of one's whole being, total consciousness or it is not there at all
