You cannot lay down a standard which all must follow.

After all you grow by experience. But while your son is young, you should try to set before him his ultimate goal.

Identification prevents and perverts the flow of thought-feeling.

Real freedom is not something to be acquired, it is the outcome of intelligence.

Freedom from something is not freedom.

And the fear of not being is born in that space. But in meditation, when this is understood, the mind can enter into a dimension of space where action is inaction. We do not know what love is, for in the space made by thought around itself as the me, love is the conflict of the me and the not-me. This conflict, this torture, is not love. Thought is the very denial of love, and it cannot enter into that space where the me is not. In that space is the benediction which man seeks and cannot find. He seeks it within the frontiers of thought, and thought destroys the ecstasy of this benediction.

Without freedom from the past, there is no freedom to all.
