I am utterly against any kind of guilt. Remember it always: if you start feeling guilty about something around me, then you are doing it on your own, then you are still carrying the voices of your parents, the priests within you; you have not yet heard me, you have not yet listened to me. I want you to be totally free of all guilt.

Meditation is nothing but putting the mind aside, putting the mind out of the way, and bringing a witnessing which is always there but hidden underneath the mind. This witnessing will reach to your center, and once you have become enlightened, then there is no problem. Then bring the mind in tune with you

If you are absolutely without mind, just pure consciousness, time stops completely, disappears, leaving no trace behind.

Enlightenment is finding that there is nothing to find. Enlightenment is to come to know that there is nowhere to go.

When you love, love as if the person is a god, not less than that. Never love a woman as a woman and never love a man as a man.

Bravery does not mean being fearless. It means to be full of fear but still not being dominated by it.

Zen says that if you drop knowledge - and within knowledge everything is included; your name, your identity, everything, because this has been given to you by others - if you drop all that has been given by others, you will have a totally different quality to your being: innocence. This will be a crucifixion of the persona, the personality, and there will be a resurrection of your innocence. You will become a child again, reborn.
