“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.”

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.

One is never afraid of the unknown; one is afraid of the known coming to an end.

To ask the ‘right’ question is far more important than to receive the answer. The solution of a problem lies in the understanding of the problem; the answer is not outside the problem, it is in the problem.

To meditate is to observe yourself, for you are totally responsible for your body, mind, thought.

Throughout life, from childhood, from school until we die, we are taught to compare ourselves with another; yet when I compare myself with another I am destroying myself.

What you believe you experience.

The fundamental factor of self-deception is this constant desire to be something in this world and in the world hereafter.

The moment I am aware that I am aware, I am not aware. Awareness means the observer is not.

From innumerable complexities we must grow to simplicity; we must become simple in our inward life and in our outward needs.

The more you know yourself, the more clarity there is. Self-knowledge has no end – you don’t come to an achievement, you don’t come to a conclusion. It is an endless river.

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.

I always had the same style of play. I didn’t really worry about people kicking me.

Anyhow we never know where we must go, nor what guides we are to get – people, storms, guardian angels, or sheep.

People will always try to stop you from doing the right thing if it is unconventional.

Time is kind of an amazing thing because you can do so much with it. I think people underestimate time. I don’t want to just sit on my phone for hours.

So many people are on television that don’t know me, and they’re like experts on me.

I have a personal ambition to live my life honestly and honor the true love that I’ve had and also the people I’ve had around me.

Never blame anyone in your life. Good people give you happiness. Bad people give you experience. Worst people give you a lesson. And best people give you memories.

Don’t let Negative and Toxic people rent space in your head. Raise the rent and kick them out.
