You may be reborn a thousand times, but you can never know the real, for only that which dies, that which comes to an end, can renew itself.

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.

The crisis is not in the outward technological advancement, but rather in the way we think, and the way we live, and the way we feel. I think that is where a revolution must take place.

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

Beyond all explanations which a good brain can give, why do we choose the worse and not the better, why hate rather than love, why greed and not generosity, why self-centred activity and not open total action? Why be mean when there are soaring mountains and flashing streams? Why jealousy and not love? Why?

Happy is the man who is nothing.

To understand yourself is the beginning of wisdom.
