Only Zorbas become Buddhas - and Buddha was never a monk, A monk is one who has never been a Zorba and has become enchanted by the words of Buddhas. A monk is an imitator, he is false, pseudo. He imitates Buddhas. He may be Christian, he may be Buddhist, he may be a Hindu - that doesn't make much difference - but he imitates Buddhas.

Truth is not found by knowledge, it is found by silence. And knowledge is noisy.

The moment you go in, all connections with the outside world are broken; all bridges are broken. In fact, the whole world disappears.

Just get out of your own way.

Don't say this is good and that is bad. Drop all discrimination. Accept everything as it is.

Respect your uniqueness, and drop comparison. Relax into your being.

Unless you become alert and aware in life, unless you change the quality of your living, you will not die consciously. And only a conscious death can bring you to a conscious birth; and then a far more conscious life opens its doors.
