“You need power only to do something harmful.otherwise love is enough,compassion is enough.”

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.

Compassionate conservative. I don’t know what that is, it sounds like a Volvo with a gun rack.

A woman’s compassion and gentleness are often taken for her weakness, never push someone to a point where they have nothing to loose anymore, you only give them a freedom not many know, such people don’t only become dangerous but lethal as well

Compassion is the currency that leads to true wealth.

Without suffering, there’d be no compassion.

When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed.

Listen with ears of tolerance! See through the eyes of compassion! Speak with the language of love.

Patience is the companion of wisdom.

Without suffering, you have no way to learn how to be understanding and compassionate.
