Seriousness is a disease.

This moment! - this here-now - is forgotten when you start thinking in terms of achieving something. When the achieving mind arises, you lose contact with the paradise you are in.

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

Meditation is simply a strange surgical method that cuts you away from all that is not yours and saves only that which is your authentic being.

To be alone and to be drunk with your own aloneness is what meditation is all about. Be in the world, but don't be of it.

Love brings freedom. Loyalty brings slavery.

Once you know it, you move as a nonbeing. Nobody can make you angry, nobody can make you happy, unhappy, miserable. No! In that emptiness all dualities dissolve: happy, unhappy, miserable, blissful - all dissolve. This is buddhahood. This is what happened under the bodhi tree to Gautam Siddhartha. He reached emptiness. Then everything is silent. You have gone beyond opposites. A master is to help you to go to your inner emptiness, the inner silence, the inner temple.
