How can one become enlightened? One can, because one is enlightened - one just has to recognize the fact.

Needs can be fulfilled, desires never. Needs are natural, desires are perverted.

Life is not a tragedy, it is a comedy. To be alive means to have a sense of humor.

Do not cling to anything, to any idea; because clinging is the bondage, even to the idea of enlightenment.

‎I am something that was. and I am something that not yet.

Deep love creates deep fear. It looks like death because the I disappears, the you disappears - and it is a sort of death. And when you die, only then do you enter into the divine.

You have not looked at the poor woman for years, for the simple reason that marriage makes things so certain. Marriage makes things so dead and dull. Marriage takes all surprise and wonder away. Marriage makes you take your wife for granted, your husband for granted. What is the need to look at your wife? She will be there tomorrow and the day after tomorrow and forever. You look at people when you know you may not be able to look at them again. Marriage kills; it makes something tremendously beautiful very ugly.
