“When one loses the deep intimate relationship with nature, then temples, mosques and churches become important.”

Thought is so cunning, so clever, that it distorts everything for its own convenience.

In oneself lies the whole world and if you know how to look and learn, the door is there and the key is in your hand. Nobody on earth can give you either the key or the door to open, except yourself.

The word ‘innocence’ means a mind that is incapable of being hurt.

Fear is nonacceptance of what is.

If your eyes are blinded with your worries, you cannot see the beauty of the sunset.

When you do not name a group of people, you are compelled to look at each individual face and not treat them all as the mass.

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.

If you find out what it is you love to do and give your whole life to it, then there is no contradiction, and in that state your being is your doing.

Intuition is the only true guide in life.

Its beautiful to be alone. To be alone does not mean to be lonely. it means the mind is not influenced and contaminated by society.

The ability to observe without evaluating is the highest form of intelligence.

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.

It is truth that liberates, not your effort to be free.

What you are the world is. And without your transformation, there can be no transformation of the world.

It is very easy to conform to what your society or your parents and teachers tell you. That is a safe and easy way of existing; but that is not living; To live is to find out for yourself what is true.

Put away the book, the description, the tradition, the authority, and take the journey of self-discovery.

There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart.

Life is what you make it. Always has been, always will be.

Love life day by day, color by color, touch by touch.

You’ll be a poorer person all your life if you don’t know some of the great stories and great poems.

The extension of life beyond Earth is the most important thing we can do as a species.

We meet no ordinary people in our lives.

Settle one difficulty, and you keep a hundred away.

If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.
