There is an art of seeing things as they are: without naming, without being caught in a network of words, without thinking interfering with perception.
Only when the mind is still, tranquil, not expecting or grasping or resisting a single thing, is it possible to see what is true. It is the truth that liberates, not your effort to be free.
Knowledge is an addiction, as drink; knowledge does not bring understanding. Knowledge can be taught, but not wisdom; there must be freedom from knowledge for the coming of wisdom.
All ideologies are idiotic, whether religious or political, for it is conceptual thinking, the conceptual word, which has so unfortunately divided man.
Change in society is of secondary importance; that will come about naturally, inevitably, when you as a human being bring about the change in yourself.
