Look at the trees, look at the birds, look at the clouds, look at the stars-and if you have eyes you will be able to see that the whole existence is joyful.

If you are seeking for security, certainty, your eyes will become closed. And you will be less and less surprised and you will lose the capacity to wonder. Once you lose the capacity to wonder, you have lost religion. Religion is the opening of your wondering heart. Religion is a receptivity for the mysterious that surrounds us. Don't seek security; don't seek advice on how to live your life.

Resolution is struggle. Resolution is ego. Resolution is saying, "I cannot live spontaneously. ".

Meditation is like the moon: it transforms the energy of lust into love, anger into compassion, greed into sharing, aggressiveness into receptivity, ego into humbleness.

Life is a garden. It is an opportunity. You can grow weeds, you can grow roses; it all depends on you.

A serious person can never be innocent, and one who is innocent can never be serious.
