Why do you want to read others' books when there is the book of yourself?

Is there a meditation that is not the ego trying to become? Is meditation conscious if every effort implies time?

Truth is not a matter of argumentation and conviction; it is not the outcome of opinion.

Mere isolation in an enclosing idea is not a release from conflict.

The only thing that really matters is that there be an action of goodness, love and intelligence in living. Is goodness individual or collective, is love personal or impersonal, is intelligence yours, mine or somebody else? If it is yours or mine then it is not intelligence, or love, or goodness. If goodness is an affair of the individual or of the collective, according to one's particular preference or decision, then it is no longer goodness.

Without an integrated understanding of life, our individual and collective problems will only deepen and extend. The purpose of education isn't to produce mere scholars, technicians and job hunters, but integrated men and women who are free of fear; for only between such human beings can there be enduring peace.

If you have a great many desires, you will gradually eliminate them one by one, until you allow certain desires to dominate and the others to die away.
