“Nobody has the power to take two steps together; you can take only one step at a time.”

Mind: A beautiful servant, a dangerous master.

Millions of people are suffering: they want to be loved but they don’t know how to love. And love cannot exist as a monologue; it is a dialogue, a very harmonious dialogue.

Wherever you are afraid, try to explore, and you will find death hiding somewhere behind. All fear is of death. Death is the only fear source.

What is discipline? Discipline means creating an order within you. As you are, you are a chaos.

To avoid pain, they avoid pleasure. To avoid death, they avoid life.

Without freedom you can never be happy.

When I say be creative I don’t mean that you should all go and become great painters and great poets. I simply mean let your life be a painting, let your life be a poem.

Without freedom you can never be happy.

Loneliness is a black hole, a darkness, a frightening negative state almost like death.

It is beautiful to be alone, it is also beautiful to be in love, to be with people. And they are complementary, not contradictory.

Freedom is a higher value than love.

In love the other is important; in lust you are important.

Life repeats itself mindlessly – unless you become mindful, it will go on repeating like a wheel.

There exists no God. What exists is godliness, and that godliness surrounds you. We are all in the same ocean.

My whole teaching consists of two words, meditation and love.

You feel good, you feel bad, and these feelings are bubbling from your own unconsciousness, from your own past. Nobody is responsible except you.

Men never plan to be failures; they simply fail to plan to be successful.

Those that don’t got it, can’t show it. Those that got it, can’t hide it.

The experienced mountain climber is not intimidated by a mountain – he is inspired by it.

Today will never happen again. Don’t waste it with a false start or no start at all.

Action will destroy your procrastination.

Sometimes, it’s hard to pick right from wrong. The best thing we can do is go with our heart and hope it all goes well.

You can choose to see your goal with 20/20 accuracy, and when you can see a goal that clearly, you can achieve it.

Concentration is inspiration. You must be completely overtaken by your work and your subject. Only then do all your influences and experience come up to the surface.
