“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.”
"You must understand the whole of life, not just one little
part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies,
that is why you must sing and dance, and write poems and suffer and understand,
for all that is life."
"So when you are listening to somebody, completely,
attentively, then you are listening not only to the words, but also to the
feeling of what is being conveyed, to the whole of it, not part of it."
"When we talk about understanding, surely it takes place only
when the mind listens completely - the mind being your heart, your nerves, your
ears- when you give your whole attention to it."
"Tradition becomes our security, and when the mind is secure
it is in decay."
"The end is the beginning of all things, Suppressed and
hidden, Awaiting to be released through the rhythm Of pain and pleasure."
"All ideologies are idiotic, whether religious or political,
for it is conceptual thinking, the conceptual word, which has so unfortunately
divided man."
"What is needed, rather than running away or controlling or
suppressing or any other resistance, is understanding fear; that means, watch
it, learn about it, come directly into contact with it. We are to learn about
fear, not how to escape from it."
"If we can really understand the problem, the answer will
come out of it, because the answer is not separate from the problem."
"Freedom from the desire for an answer is essential to the
understanding of a problem."
"This is love: the flowering of love is meditation."
