Meditation is the movement of love. It isn't the love of the one or of the many. It is like water that anyone can drink out of any jar.

To transform the world, we must begin with ourselves; and what is important in beginning with ourselves is the intention. The intention must be to understand ourselves and not to leave it to others to transform themselves or to bring about a modified change through revolution, either of the left or of the right. It is important to understand that this is our responsibility, yours and mine.

You cannot explain to someone who comes with no idea of what you are talking about without being misunderstood.

When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European, or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is violent? Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind. When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence. So a man who is seeking to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or partial system; he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind.

Contentment is not happiness. Contentment is stagnation and decay, whereas happiness is life and growth.

Achieve order within yourself...an inward tranquility which knows no disturbance at any moment...in the daily life of the home and the office.

I am all for changing, even if mistakes are made in the process. Mistakes do not matter.
