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

When one loses the deep intimate relationship with nature, then temples, mosques and churches become important.

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

War is the spectacular and bloody projection of our everyday living. We precipitate war out of our daily lives; and without a transformation in ourselves, there are bound to be national and racial antagonisms, the childish quarreling over ideologies, the multiplication of soldiers, the saluting of flags, and all the many brutalities that go to create organized murder.

If you die to everything you know,including your family,yourmemory,everything you have felt,then death is a purification,a rejuvenating process;then death brings innocence and it is only the innocent who are passionate, not the people who believe or who want to find out what happens after death.

This is what I am, and I am going to understand this.

Meditation is the process of understanding your own mind.
