“It is very difficult also to sacrifice one’s suffering. A man will renounce any pleasures you like but he will not give up his suffering.”

Consciousness is a state in which a man knows all at once everything that he in general knows and in which he can see how little he does know and how many contradictions there are in what he knows.

Wish’ is the most powerful thing in the world. Higher than God.

It is only by grounding our awareness in the living sensation of our bodies that the ‘I Am,’ our real presence, can awaken.

Take the understanding of the East and the knowledge of the West-and then seek.

He who has gotten rid of the disease of “tomorrow” has a chance of achieving what he is here for.

Awakening begins when a man realizes that he is going nowhere and does not know where to go.

My way is to develop the hidden potentialities of man; a way that is against Nature and against God.

With thorns in the inner world there will always be roses in the outer world, in law-able compensation.

To know all, it is necessary to know very little; but to know that very little, one must first know pretty much.

Love without knowledge is demonic.
