“Belief clings, but faith lets go.”

You’re under no obligation to be the same person you were 5 minutes ago.

If, then, my awareness of the past and future makes me less aware of the present, I must begin to wonder whether I am actually living in the real world.

In reality there are no separate events. Life moves along like water, it’s all connected to the source of the river is connected to the mouth and the ocean.

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

If one were to live for endless ages, to live for the future would be to miss the point everlastingly.

Normally, we do not so much look at things as overlook them.

The relationship of self to other is the complete realization that loving yourself is impossible without loving everything defined as other than yourself.

Problems that remain persistently insoluble should always be suspected as questions asked in the wrong way.

Tomorrow and plans for tomorrow can have no significance at all unless you are in full contact with the reality of the present.

I am what happens between the maternity ward and the Crematorium.

The art of meditation is a way of getting into touch with reality, and the reason for it is that most civilized people are out of touch with reality.

Our pleasures are not material pleasures, but symbols of pleasure – attractively packaged but inferior in content.

I find that the sensation of myself as an ego inside a bag of skin is really a hallucination.

The ego-self constantly pushes reality away. It constructs a future out of empty expectations and a past out of regretful memories.

When you find out that there was never anything in the dark side to be afraid of, Nothing is left but to love.

The clash between science and religion has not shown that religion is false and science is true. It has shown that all systems of definition are relative to various purposes, and that none of them actually ‘grasp’ reality.

He who has health, has hope; and he who has hope, has everything.

It is my belief, that we should not be too sure of having found Christ in ourselves until we have found him also in that part of humanity that is most remote from our own.

Let`s choose each day and every day to keep an attitude of faith and joy and belief and compassion.

The battle that never ends is the battle of belief against disbelief.

Never give up, because you never know if the next try is going to be the one that works.

God is not present in idols. Your feelings are your god. The soul is your temple.

I have no faith in political arithmetic.

Mass movements can rise and spread without belief in a God, but never without belief in a devil.
