So let us decide whether you want a shelter, a safety zone, which will no longer yield conflict, whether you want to escape from the present conflict to enter a condition in which there shall be no conflict; or whether you are unaware, unconscious of this conflict in which you exist. If you are unconscious of the conflict, that is, the battle that is taking place between that self and the environment, if you are unconscious of that battle, then why do you seek further remedies? Remain unconscious.

Identification prevents and perverts the flow of thought-feeling.

That is, when the mind ceases to create, then there is creation.

If you set out to meditate, it will not be meditation. If you set out to be good, goodness will never flower.

The ending is the beginning, and the beginning is the first step, and the first step is the only step.

It is a great art to have an abundance of knowledge and experience - to know the richness of life, the beauty of existence, the struggles, the miseries, the laughter, the tears - and yet keep your mind very simple; and you can have a simple mind only when you know how to love.

The beauty of meditation is that you never know where you are, where you are going, what the end is.
