The world is not religious because religion is imposed upon us. The parents are in a hurry to impose; the church, the state, the country - everybody is in a hurry to impose a certain religion on the child. How foolish! How stupid! Religion needs maturity, great understanding, before one can choose.

Enjoyment is just the sound of being centered.

If you meditate, sooner or later you will come upon love. If you meditate deeply, sooner or later you will start feeling a tremendous love arising in you that you have never known before.

The mind is just like a crowd; thoughts are the individuals. And because thoughts are there continuously you think the process is substantial. Drop each individual thought and finally nothing is left. There is no mind as such, only thinking.

Meditation, perhaps, is the only alchemy that can transform a beggar into an emperor.

The fundamental thing is to drop the split, to become one. Be one, and then all else is possible; even the impossible is possible.

Parents appreciate the child who agrees; they condemn the child who disagrees.
