Meditation is an insight that all goals are false. Meditation is an understanding that desires don't lead anywhere. Seeing that... And this is not a belief that you can get from me or from Buddha or from Jesus. This is not knowledge; you will have to see it. You can see it right now!

When love and hate are both absent everything becomes clear and undisguised.

Everybody is trying to be perfect. And the moment somebody starts trying to be perfect, he starts expecting everybody else to be perfect. He starts condemning people, he starts humiliating people.

Philosophy is speculation, Zen is participation. Participate in the night leaving, participate in the evening coming, participate in the stars and participate in the clouds; make participation your lifestyle and the whole existence becomes such a joy, such an ecstasy. You could not have dreamed of a better universe.

Create inner freedom through witnessing. Sannyas is only for the inner freedom. And live out of inner freedom.

A very sensitive person in this stupid world is bound to become mad.... Only meditation can save him from becoming mad.

Forget about getting, simply give; and I guarantee you, you will get much.
