To Know Oneself Is To Study Oneself

Meditation Is The Emptying Of The Mind Of All The Things That The Mind Has Put Together. If You Do That -perhaps You Won't, But It Doesn't Matter, Just Listen To This- You Will Find That There Is An Extraordinary Space In The Mind, And That Space Is Freedom. So You Must Demand Freedom At The Very Beginning, And Not Just Wait, Hoping To Have It At The End. You Must Seek Out The Significance Of Freedom In Your Work, In Your Relationships, In Everything That You Do. Then You Will Find That Meditation Is Creation.

Love Is The Most Practical Thing In The World. To Love, To Be Kind, Not To Be Greedy, Not To Be Ambitious, Not To Be Influenced By People But To Think For Yourself-these Are All Very Practical Things, And They Will Bring About A Practical, Happy Society.

There Is No Tranquility In Ideas.

Instead Of Old Spiritual Distinctions You Have New Spiritual Distinctions, Instead Of Old Worships You Have New Worships. You Are All Depending For Your Spirituality On Someone Else, For Your Happiness On Someone Else, For Your Enlightenment On Someone Else.

I Would Teach My Child To Respect What Is Right - The Word Right Is A Difficult Word To Use - I Would Teach Him To Respect The Intrinsic Value Of Things. Do You See What I Mean? The True Proportion Of Things.
