If you want to remember yourself, the best thing is not to think about yourself. As long as you think about yourself, you will not remember yourself.

Understanding is always the understanding of a smaller problem in relation to a bigger problem.

When one realises one is asleep, at that moment one is already half-awake.

The problem of Eternity, of which the face of the Sphinx speaks, takes us into the realm of the impossible. Even the problem of Time is simple in comparison with the problem of Eternity.

There is something in us that keeps us where we find ourselves. I think this is the most awful thing of all.

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?

To remember oneself means the same thing as to be aware of oneself - I am. It is not a function, not thinking, not feeling; it is a different state of consciousness.
