The beauty of meditation is that you never know where you are, where you are going, what the end is.

Freedom from the desire for an answer is essential to the understanding of a problem.

One is never afraid of the unknown; one is afraid of the known coming to an end.

Aloneness is obviously not isolation, and it is not uniqueness. To be unique is merely to be exceptional in some way, whereas to be completely alone demands extraordinary sensitivity, intelligence, understanding.

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

Perception without the word, which is without thought, is one of the strangest phenomena. Then the perception is much more acute, not only with the brain, but also with all the senses. Such perception is not the fragmentary perception of the intellect nor the affair of the emotions. It can be called a total perception, and it is part of meditation.

It is only in a very quiet mind that great things are born; and a quiet mind does not come about through effort, through control, through discipline.
