We do not exist for the sake of something else. We exist for the sake of ourselves.

As long as we have some definite idea about or some hope in the future, we cannot really be serious with the moment that exists right now.

Wherever you go you will find your teacher, as long as you have the eyes to see and the ears to hear.

Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as an enlightened person. There is only enlightened activity.

If your mind is empty, it is always ready for anything; it is open to everything.
