“Except for our bodies there are no other temples in the world.”

The ego is your enemy, not your friend. It is the ego that gives you wounds and hurts you. It is the ego that makes you violent, angry, jealous, competitive. It is the ego that is continuously comparing and feeling miserable.

Life is a mystery, but man wants to reduce it to a problem!

There are very few joys in life greater than spontaneity. Spontaneity means to be in the moment; it means acting out of your awareness, not acting according to your old conditionings.

Meaning is man-created. And because you constantly look for meaning, you start to feel meaninglessness.

You exist in time, but you belong to eternity.

To be an individual is the hardest thing in the world, because nobody likes you to be an individual. Everybody wants to kill your individuality and to make a sheep out of you. Nobody wants you to be on your own.

Anybody who gives you a belief system is your enemy, because the belief system becomes the barrier for your eyes, you cannot see the truth.

Aloneness is the presence of oneself. Aloneness is very positive… You are so full of presence that you can fill the whole universe with your presence and there is no need for anybody.

Attachment brings misery, unattachment brings blissfulness. So use things, but don’t be used by them. Live life but don’t be lived by it. Possess things, but don’t be possessed by them. Have things – that’s not a problem. I am not for renunciation. Enjoy everything that life gives, but always remain free.

The ego does not, cannot live in the present, because the present is real and the ego is false – they never meet.

People say love is blind because they do not know what love is. I say unto you, only love has eyes; other than love, everything is blind.

The moment you accept yourself, you become beautiful.

Come out of the masses. Stand alone like a lion and live your life according to your own light.

Freedom means the capability to say yes when yes is needed, to say no when no is needed, and sometimes to keep quiet when nothing is needed – to be silent, not to say anything. When all these dimensions are available, there is freedom.

Respect your uniqueness, and drop comparison. Relax into your being.

Live without expectations and there will be no frustration.

Touring is hard on the body.

A person will sometimes devote all his life to the development of one part of his body – the wishbone.

I speak two languages, Body and English.

My body parts are all I have left now that are only mine – the world owns everything else.

We recognize that all knowledge is mediated through the body and that feeling is a profound source of information about our lives.

My body will not be a tomb for other creatures.

Purity of soul and impurity of body can go together.

It takes more than just a good looking body. You’ve got to have the heart and soul to go with it.
