The mind gives meaning to anything but the meaning it gives is meaningless.

There is no such thing as living alone, for all living is relationship; but to live without direct relationship demands high intelligence, a swifter and greater awareness for self-discovery.

There are laws in some countries, I believe, which prohibit anyone from following you in the street, and if someone does, he can be arrested and put into prison.

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