The essence of oneself and the essence of the world: these two are one. [ The aim is not to see, but to realize that one is, that essence; then one is free to wander as that essence in the world.] Hence separateness, withdrawal, is no longer necessary. Wherever the hero may wander, whatever he may do, he is ever in the presence of his own essence-for he has the perfected eye to see.

The best we can do is lean towards the light.

Life is like arriving late for a movie, having to figure out what was going on without bothering everybody with a lot of questions, and then being unexpectedly called away before you find out how it ends.

Life is but a mask worn on the face of death. And is death, then, but another mask? 'How many can say,' asks the Aztec poet, 'that there is, or is not, a truth beyond?'

There is a God inside my PC. An Old-Testament God with lots of arbitrary rules and utterly no mercy.

You've got to say yes to this miracle of life as it is, not on condition that it follow your rules.

Life is not a problem to be solved but a mystery to be lived. Follow the path that is no path, follow your bliss.
