Pleasure puts you to sleep and pain wakes you up. If you don't want to suffer, don't go to sleep.

You are not in this world. This world is inside you.

The personal needs a base, a body to identify oneself with, just as a colour needs a surface to appear on.

You can become a night watchman and live happily. It is what you are inwardly that matters. Your inner peace and joy you have to earn. It is much more difficult than earning money. No university can teach you to be yourself.

Whatever state I am in, I see it as a state of mind to be accepted as it is.

You need not know what you are. Enough to know what you are not. What you are you will never know, for every discovery reveals new dimensions to conquer. The unknown has no limits.

Once you realize that the world is your own projection, you are free of it. You need not free yourself of a world that does not exist, except in your own imagination! However is the picture, beautiful or ugly, you are painting it and you are not bound by it. Realize that there is nobody to force it on you, that it is due to the habit of taking the imaginary to be real. See the imaginary as imaginary and be free of fear.
