We are people with a great many prejudices, which we cultivate and strengthen vociferously. These prevent us from understanding others.

You are what you are now. Start from there.

When you are aware that you are conditioned, and look at it as an outsider looking in, the very entity that is observing or being aware is part of that conditioning.

Only where there is space and silence can there be something new, untouched by time and thought.

Addiction to knowledge is like any other addiction. It offers an escape from the fear of emptiness, of loneliness, of frustration, the fear of being nothing.

Organisations, with their leaders, thrive on keeping man in the ideological patterns they offer, whether religious, political or economic.

Meditation and not repetition, awareness and not definition, reveal the ways of thought.

It is thought that has emotional complications, not love.

To fill your heart with the things of the mind is to leave no room for love.

A gentle reminder, how tiny we are...

Love is vulnerable, pliable, receptive. Love is the highest form of sensitivity.

Suddenly, as one was walking along, without a single thought but only observing without the observer, one became aware of a sacredness that thought has never been able to conceive.

The distance between you and an object is the word and knowledge, which is time.

The thinker is his thoughts. Without words, images and thoughts, is there a thinker?

We are all busy with our things and have no time to observe the marvel of the earth.

I am acting as a mirror in which you can see yourself. When you see yourself clearly, you can discard the mirror; it has no more importance.

There is nothing sacred whatsoever about thought. Thinking is materialistic, a process of matter.

The crisis is not in the economic or political world. The crisis is in consciousness. Very few of us realise this.

When computers take over our work and most of our thought, operating with a rapidity which the brain cannot, the brain is going to wither.

Silence, quietness and absolute stillness of the mind are necessary for perception.
