To deal with things knowledge of things is needed. To deal with people, you need insight, sympathy. To deal with yourself, you need nothing. Be what you are--conscious being--and don't stray away from yourself.

Between the banks of pleasure and pain flows the river of life. If you spend much time on either bank you will miss out on life.

The window is the absence of the wall, and it gives air and light because it is empty. Be empty of all mental content, of all imagination and effort, and the very absence of obstacles will cause reality to rush in.

Cooperate with your destiny, don't go against it, don't thwart it. Allow it to fulfill itself.

You have put so much energy into building a prison for yourself. Now spend as much on demolishing it.
