Marriage is a plastic flower - marriage is an institution. And who wants to live in an institution?

Buddha says this is how one should be - no desire, because all desires are futile. They are about the future; life is in the present. All desires distract you from the present, all desires distract you from life, all desires are destructive of life, all desires are postponements of life. Life is now and the desire takes you away, farther and farther away from now. And when we see that our life is misery we go on throwing the responsibility on others, and nobody is responsible except us.

Science is concerned about quantity; religion is concerned about quality. Religion is concerned with the art of how to live life and how to die life.

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

Live each moment as if you were going to die the next, and then there will be a great intensity and a great passion. You will be aflame with life. That being aflame is what being divine is to me.

The West has made people too time-conscious, not knowing where they are going but speeding to get there because time is short.

Meditation is not doing something. But you cannot take a jump immediately into non-doing. So I suggest that you make your doing total. Move into it so deeply, and so totally that suddenly the doing drops, and you alone are left, just existing.
