“Love is the goal, life is the journey.”

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.

I don’t look at records, that’s not why I’m playing the game. Goals, of course. Every player in my position wants to score goals.

I have so many goals but I really don’t want to wish away my present.

Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal.

Joy is the goal of existence, and joy is not to be stumbled upon, but to be achieved, and the act of treason is to let its vision drown in the swamp of the moment’s torture.

Sooner or later we all discover that the important moments in life are not the advertised ones, not the birthdays, the graduations, the weddings, not the great goals achieved.

My mom and I had the same vision, and we want the same things. We would always make a goal list every year.

All paths lead to the same goal: to convey to others what we are.

If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.
