Without love the acquisition of knowledge only increases confusion and leads to self-destruction.

The fundamental factor of self-deception is this constant desire to be something in this world and in the world hereafter.

The earth doesn't belong to anyone. It is the land upon which all of us are to live for many years, ploughing, reaping and destroying. You are always a guest on this earth and have the austerity of a guest. Austerity is far deeper than owning only a few things. The very word austerity has been spoilt by the monks, by the sannyasis, by the hermits. Sitting on that high hill alone in the solitude of many things, many rocks and little animals and ants, that word has no meaning.

Each breath is transforming me into thine image.

Truth is more in the process than in the result.

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

Now, is it possible not to be hurt at all? Because the consequences of being hurt are the building of a wall around oneself, withdrawing in one's relationship with others in order not to be hurt more. In that there is fear and a gradual isolation. Now, we are asking: Is it possible not only to be free of past hurts but also never to be hurt again?
