This is the way the mind functions: its whole interest is in that which you have not got.

Unless you love yourself, you can't love anybody. Be selfish.

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

Whenever it happens it is never late; whenever it happens it is always early. The happening is so great that you cannot claim it for yourself. You cannot say: `I have earned it.` The happening is so great that it is always through grace and not through effort. It happens through effortlessness. Whenever it happens, you know well that it is through compassion, grace, that it has happened. It has nothing to do with you or your earning

Man is always exploited through fear.

Never ask, "Who is my real friend?" Ask, "Am I a real friend to somebody?" That is the right question. Always be concerned with yourself.

As your silence grows; your friendliness, your love grows; your life becomes a moment-to-moment dance, a joy, a celebration.
