Then relationship happens. Before that it is just an empty name. Relationship cannot happen before the egos are gone.

Your mind is a constant traffic of thoughts, and it is always rush hour, day in, day out. Meditation means to watch the movement of thoughts in the mind.

And the miracle is: if you can go into your suffering as a meditation, watching, to the deepest roots of it, just through watching, it disappears. You don't have to do anything more than watching. If you have found the authentic cause by your watching, the suffering will disappear.

You cease totally and only then you arrive. You enter into the world of God, or godliness, only when you are no more.

Mind is memory, not intelligence.

Without possessions, success, fame; who are you?

For Zen, man is the goal; man is the end unto himself. God is not something above humanity, God is something hidden within humanity. Man is carrying God in himself as a potentiality.
