“Without knowing yourself, there is no peace.”

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.

The crisis is not out there in the world, it is within our own consciousness.

I don’t mind what happens. That is the essence of inner freedom. It is a timeless spiritual truth: release attachment to outcomes, deep inside yourself, you’ll feel good no matter what.

Knowledge, idea, belief stands in the way of wisdom.

The mind has to be empty to see clearly.

You want to be loved because you do not love; but the moment you love, it is finished, you are no longer inquiring whether or not somebody loves you.

Be a light unto oneself,

Discipline does not mean suppression and control, nor is it adjustment to a pattern or ideology. It means a mind that sees ‘what is’ and learns from ‘what was’.

No book can teach you about yourself, no psychologist, none of the professors or philosophers. What they can teach you is what they think you are or what they think you should be.

All ideologies are idiotic, whether religious or political, for it is conceptual thinking, the conceptual word, which has so unfortunately divided man.

Nothing is worth sacrificing your mental health or inner peace. 

Sit with your presence and feel the peace your soul has to offer.

If you don’t make peace with your past it will keep showing up in your present.

Having a mind that is open to everything and attached to nothing seems to me to be one of the most basic principles that you can adopt to contribute to individual and world peace.

You can’t separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom.

The methods of peaceful protests are not capable of being effective, because in reality most people pay little attention to things that are not abrasive.

It’s time for action. Action is peace.

Peace is a rare gift. Peace of mind, peaceful sleeps, and peaceful spirits are all luxuries that few rebels can ever afford.
