Thought comes to an end. Then there is that sense of absolute silence in the brain. All the movement of thought has ended.

To understand life is to understand ourselves, and that is both the beginning and the end of education.

The guru cannot awaken you; all that he can do is to point out what is.

A man who is not afraid is not aggressive, a man who has no sense of fear of any kind is really a free, a peaceful man.

Everyone must go through all experiences but they need not go through them all in reality -they can do it vicariously, by imagination.

I do not know if you have ever noticed that the more you struggle to understand, the less you understand any problem. But, the moment you cease to struggle and let the problem tell you the whole story, give all its significance - then there is understanding, which means, obviously, that to understand, the mind must be quiet.

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.
