A mind that practices love cannot love.

There is no tranquility in ideas.

In the space which thought creates around itself there is no love. This space divides man from man.

Learning is the very essence of humility . . .

If we try to listen we find it extraordinarily difficult, because we are always projecting our opinions and ideas, our prejudices, our background, our inclinations, our impulses; when they dominate, we hardly listen at all to what is being said...One listens and therefore learns, only in a state of silence, in which this whole background is in abeyance, is quite; then, it seems to me, it is possible to communicate

A mind that is afraid withers away; it cannot function properly.

You must look most intimately and discover for yourself; then it is your own, not somebody else’s, not something that you have been told, because there is no teacher and no follower.
