You can understand other people only as much as you understand yourself and only on the level of your own being. This means you can judge other people's knowledge but you cannot judge their being. You can see in them only as much as you have in yourself. But people always make the mistake of thinking they can judge other people's being. In reality, if they wish to meet and understand people of a higher development than themselves they must work with the aim of changing their being.

Possibly the most interesting first impression of my life came from the world of dreams.

a man can be given only what he can use; and he can use only that for which he has sacrificed something

Ideas by themselves cannot produce change of being; your effort must go in the right direction, and one must correspond to the other.

Desire is when you do what you want, will is when you can do what you do not want.

Think about death. You do not know how much time remains to you. And remember that if you do not become different, everything will be repeated again, all foolish blunders, all silly mistakes, all loss of time and opportunity - everything will be repeated with the exception of the chance you had this time, because chance never comes in the same form.You will have to look for your chance next time. And in order to do this, you will have to remember many things, and how will you remember then if you do not remember anything now?

It is only when we realize that life is taking us nowhere that it begins to have meaning.
