Pain itself destroys pain. Suffering itself frees man from suffering.

I can only insist that understanding, not blind belief, should be the goal.

There are two kinds of freedom: one is the freedom from something, which is a reaction; and the other is not a reaction, it is "being free."

I was supremely happy, for I had seen. Nothing could ever be the same. I have drunk at the clear and pure waters and my thirst was appeased. ...I have seen the Light. I have touched compassion which heals all sorrow and suffering; it is not for myself, but for the world. ...Love in all its glory has intoxicated my heart; my heart can never be closed. I have drunk at the fountain of Joy and eternal Beauty. I am God-intoxicated.

If people are foolish, they are bound to mix the personality and the Truth, and to build a temple around the personality and form a religion.

When the mind sees itself in the mirror of relationship, from that perception there is self-knowledge.

Without knowing myself, I have no real basis for thinking.
