Freedom from the desire for an answer is essential to the understanding of a problem.

The crisis is not out there in the world, it is within our own consciousness.

Nothing can disturb the calm peace of my soul.

All outward forms of change brought about by wars, revolutions, reformations, laws and ideologies have failed completely to change the basic nature of man and therefore of society.

Take a journey into the things which you are carrying, the known- not into the unknown-into what you already know: your pleasures, your delights, your despairs, your sorrows. Take a journey into that, that is all you have.

Without freedom, there is no creation.

Intelligence is the capacity to perceive the essential, the what is; and to awaken this capacity, in oneself and in others, is education.
