As long as you are not at peace with yourself, it is not possible for you to be
at peace with others.
Don't follow me, I'm lost.
Human thinking is born out of this neurological defect in the human species.
Anything that is born out of human thinking is destructive. Thought is
destructive. Thought is a protective mechanism.
I discovered for myself and by myself that there is no self to realize -that's the realization I am talking about.
It is fear that makes you believe that you are living and that you will be dead.
What we do not want is the fear to come to an end.
Life is action. Unquestioned action is morality.
Nature is busy creating absolutely unique individuals, whereas culture has invented a single mould to which all must conform. It is ludicrously odd.
Only if you reject all the other paths can you discover your own path.
Sometimes we are so involved with our activity that we lose ourselves in it, and in that sense we are living in the moment.
The plain fact is that if you don't have a problem, you create one. If you don't have a problem, you don't feel that you are living.
There is no death for the body, only an exchange of atoms. Their changing places
and taking different forms is what we call 'death.' It's a process which
restores the energy level in nature that has gone down. In reality, nothing is
born and nothing is dead.
Thought can never capture the movement of life; it is much too slow.
To be yourself requires extraordinary intelligence. You are blessed with that
intelligence; nobody need give it to you; nobody can take it away from you.
Understanding is the absence of the demand for understanding.
Wanting to be free from something that is not there is what you call sorrow.
Wanting to be free from sorrow is sorrow. There is no other sorrow.
We are not created for any grander purpose than the ants that are there or the flies that are hovering around us or the mosquitoes that are sucking our blood.
What is responsible for our problems is the fear of losing what we have and what we know.
You are what you are doing RIGHT NOW!
You can have the courage to climb the mountain, swim the lakes, go on a raft to
the other side of the Atlantic or Pacific. That any fool can do, but the courage
to be on your own, to stand on your two solid feet, is something which cannot be
given by somebody.
