Happiness comes uninvited: and the moment that you are conscious that you are happy, you are no longer happy.

I am concerning myself with only one essential thing: to set man free. I desire to free him from all cages, from all fears, and not to found religions, new sects, nor to establish new theories and new philosophies.

I am all for changing, even if mistakes are made in the process. Mistakes do not matter.

When the mind is relaxed, no longer making an effort, when it is quiet for just a few seconds, then the problem reveals itself and it is solved. That happens when the mind is still, in the interval between two thoughts, between two responses. In that state of mind, understanding comes.

It is intelligence that brings order, not discipline.

Ugliness and evil are necessary for growth but they may be experienced vicariously.

Sentimentality and emotionalism have nothing whatsoever to do with love.
