The mind exists in two states: as water and as honey. The water vibrates at the least disturbance, while the honey, however disturbed, returns quickly to immobility.

Suffering is a call for inquiry, all pain needs investigation.

Our usual attitude is of 'I am this'. Separate consistently and perseveringly the 'I am' from 'this' or 'that', and try to feel what is means to be, just to be, without being 'this' or 'that'.

Instead of searching for what you do not have, find out what it is that you have never lost.

The legitimate function of the mind is to tell you what is not. But if you want positive knowledge, you must go beyond the mind.

To see the unreal is wisdom. Beyond this lies the inexpressible.

All you can teach is understanding. The rest comes on its own.
