Let the mind be empty, and not filled with the things of the mind. Then there is only meditation, and not a meditor who is meditating . . . The mind must be clear, without movement, and in the light of that clarity the timeless will be revealed.

It is astonishingly beautiful and interesting, how thought is absent when you have an insight. Thought cannot have an insight.

Surely love has nothing to do with the mind, it is not the product of the mind; love is entirely independent of calculation, of thought.

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?

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

Does life continue beyond the door? The fulfilment of life is not annihilation - on the contrary - I am much more ambitious, much more desirous, much more eager than you are. It is Life. Therefore it cannot be annihilation, for you cannot annihilate Life!

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.
