For the bliss of the deep abode is not lightly abandoned in favor of the self-scattering of the wakened state.

There is a condescension on the part of the infinite to the mind of man. That is what looks like God.

People who don't have a concept of the whole can do very unfortunate things.

The best things cannot be told, the second best are misunderstood. After that comes civilized conversation; after that, mass indoctrination; after that, intercultural exchange.

The first step to the knowledge of the wonder and mystery of life is the recognition of the monstrous nature of the earthly human realm as well as its glory, the realization that this is just how it is and that it cannot and will not be changed. Those who think they know how the universe could have been had they created it, without pain, without sorrow, without time, without death, are unfit for illumination.

If we fix on the old, we get stuck.
