“Giving energy to the mind, is like giving your neighbour a gun to shoot you with.”

We are the space in which thoughts appear, play, and dissolve like clouds drifting in the infinite sky.

You are the Master, the mind is your servant. That is the correct relationship.

Feelings are just visitors, let them come and go.

Don’t remind the world that it is sick and troubled. Remind it that it is beautiful and free.

It’s not what the mind says. It’s how seriously it is taken.

Mind is there, in front of you. Don’t log in.

You are the light of consciousness and also the witness of this light. You are pure awareness.

Freedom is to be free of attachments, and the main attachment is to the ‘I’-self.

If I could give you only one advice, I would say: Don’t identify with anything. Be completely empty – no one. Be no-body and see if you lose anything but delusion.

The final bridge to cross is to let go of the mind-created ‘spiritual’ self. Burn that bridge behind you. Stay empty of self-image and cease looking back. Remain in the neutrality of being. That’s it!

Life cannot be against you, for you are Life itself. Life can only seem to go against the ego’s projections, which are rarely the truth.

Day by day become more and more intimate with the inner stillness, joy and love which is the fragrance your own pure heart. Keep quiet.

Let the mind come as it wants; just you don’t go with it. The greatest salesman in the world cannot sell you if you don’t buy.

Dying to your own attachments is a beautiful death. Because this death releases you into real life. You have to die as a seed to live as a tree.

You need nothing to be happy – you need something to be sad.

Be true to Love. Do not betray Her. Then, on the day that the forest of the mind bursts into flames, you will not run. You will remain silent and still; for this is when Love bears Her sweetest fruit: untouched Presence.

We will appoint as justices, constables, sheriffs, or other officials, only men that know the law of the realm and are minded to keep it well.

I never wish to be easily defined. I’d rather float over other people’s minds as something strictly fluid and non-perceivable; more like a transparent, paradoxically iridescent creature rather than an actual person.

I ask you to go back and read them over again, and this time answer them keeping in mind that you are writing your children’s future with your answers.

I didn’t arrive at my understanding of the fundamental laws of the universe through my rational mind.

To my mind, there was no one in the world like my father. Wherever he was, there was magic in the air.

Don’t let your mind control you. Control your mind.

I have many, many old friends, and I always think that it`s important, when you get into politics, to have friends you had before you were in politics and to understand what`s on their minds.

Having thus become a mindless tool, the stupid person will also be capable of any evil and at the same time incapable of seeing that it is evil.
