Meditation is the antidote to all the poisons of your life. It is the nourishment of your authentic nature.

Meditation requires courage. It requires the basic integrity, sincerity, respect towards your own being. At least don't deceive yourself.

Creativity is a quality that we give to every activity that we do.

Boredom has been used as a technique, it is a device. In Zen, boredom is used as a device: you are bored to death, and you are not allowed to escape. You are not to go outside, you are not to entertain yourself, you are not to do, you are not to talk, you are not to read novels and detective stories. No thrill. No possibility to escape anywhere.

Buddha says if you surrender the ego, if you surrender yourself, you come in a harmony with the law and everything starts happening on its own. You have but to surrender. If you are ready to disappear, you will be full of the law and the law will take care.

If you are silent through meditation, utterly silent, suddenly you feel a tremendous urge to create something.

Only authentic human beings can create a society which will be joyous, ecstatic, and in the real sense, human.
