"Remember, whenever you have two things, two alternatives, choose the new one, choose the harder, choose the one in which more awareness will be needed."
"So throw off all desires, remove all the dust from your eyes, be at ease within, not longing for something, not even for God. Every longing is the same, whether for a big car, or God, or a big house, makes no difference. Longing is the same. Don't long " just be. Don't even look " just be! Don't think! Let this moment be there, and you in it, and suddenly you have everything " because life is there. Suddenly everything starts showering on you, and then this moment becomes eternal and then there is no time. It is always the now. It never ends, never begins. But then you are in it, not an outsider. You have entered the whole, you have recognized who you are."

"Detach yourself from things. Your soul will be lighter and your mind will be free."
"If you are a parent, open doors to unknown directions to the child so he can explore. Don't make him afraid of the unknown,give him support."
"Everybody is born creative, but very few people remain creative."
"Remember, if you cannot live with yourself, you cannot live with anyone else. The capacity to be alone is the capacity to love. It may look paradoxical to you, but it is not. It is an existential truth: only those people who are capable of being alone are capable of love, of sharing, of going into the deepest core of the other person-without possessing the other, without becoming dependent on the other, without reducing the other to a thing, and without becoming addicted to the other."
"Meditation is nothing but withdrawing all barriers, thoughts, and distractions to simply be present."

"Love is dangerous because it makes you an individual. And the state and the church . . . they don't want individuals, not at all. They don't want human beings, they want sheep. They want people who only look like human beings but whose souls have been crushed so utterly, damaged so deeply, that it seems almost irreparable."
"Reality never comes as a problem. It is only the ideas about reality that comes as a problem."
"To come to know that nothing is good, nothing is bad, is a turning point; it is a conversion. You start looking in; the outside reality loses meaning. The social reality is a fiction, a beautiful drama; you can participate in it, but then you don't take it seriously. It is just a role to be played; play it as beautifully, as efficiently, as possible. But don't take it seriously, it has nothing of the ultimate in it."
"You don't have any problems - only this much has to be understood. This very moment you can drop all problems. because they are your creations. Have another look at your problems: the deeper you look, the smaller they will appear. Go on looking at them and by and by they will start disappearing. Go on gazing and suddenly you will find there is emptiness - a beautiful emptiness surrounds you. Nothing to do, nothing to be, because you are already that."
"Transformation happens only when you put your total energy into it."
"Rebellion is the very essence of meditation. Meditation means destroying the mind totally."
"Create a life that feels good on the inside, not just one that looks good on the outside."
