The mind must be open & quiet to see…What we are trying to do here is to bring our minds into the right state for understanding what is real
Just be aware that you are and remain aware -- don't say: 'yes, I am; what next?' There is no 'next' in 'I am'. It is a timeless state.
As long as you are interested in your present way of living, you will not abandon it.
Discovery cannot come as long as you cling to the familiar.
Accept no guidance but from within, and even then sift out all memories for they will mislead you.
You are not interested in others as persons, but only as far as they enrich, or ennoble your own image of yourself.
And the ultimate in selfishness is to care only for the protection, preservation and multiplication of one's own body.
Love is not selective, desire is selective.
Punishment is but legalized crime. In a society built on prevention, rather than retaliation, there would be very little crime.
What is religion? A cloud in the sky. I live in the sky, not in the clouds, which are so many words held together.
Remove the verbiage and what remains? Truth remains.
We talk of God, Truth and Love, but instead of direct experience we have definitions.
Instead of enlarging and deepening action we chisel our definitions. And we imagine that we know what we can define!
Religions show their true face in action, in silent action. To know what man believes, watch how he acts.
You know everything, but you do not know yourself. For the self is not known through words—only direct insight will reveal it.
