Knowledge, idea, belief stands in the way of wisdom.

In oneself lies the whole world and if you know how to look and learn, the door is there and the key is in your hand. Nobody on earth can give you either the key or the door to open, except yourself.

To know yourself you need not go to any book, to any priest, to any psychologist. The whole treasure is within yourself.

To meditate is to observe yourself, for you are totally responsible for your body, mind, thought.

If the mind could cease measuring itself against the hero, the perfect, the glorious and all that, it would be what it is.

There you have the two extremes: the man that is concerned mainly with the hidden life, and the man who seriously concerns himself with the expression of that life. What I want to do is to bring about harmony between the two extremes, for therein lies the Truth. The harmony of life is the understanding of Truth.

Meditation is not a withdrawal from life. Meditation is a process of understanding oneself.
