"Truth... has no obligation to console you."

"Millions of beauties and splendors are waiting for you. You go on moving around and around, never entering into the temple of life. The door is the heart."

"Aloneness is not loneliness. Aloneness is finding your own space."

"Love cannot be taught, it is experienced."

"Pain is a teacher; suffering is a choice."

"The mind is always afraid; the heart is always fearless."

"Your soul knows the way, follow it."

"Don't move the way fear makes you move."

"Understand this first and foremost that you are the center of your existence; nobody else is responsible. No matter how burdensome it feels, but you alone are responsible. If you accept this truth all sorrow will soon disappear. Because once it is clear that I am making this game, how long will it take you to destroy it?"

"Meditation is an adventure, the greatest adventure the human mind can undertake."

"You will find meaning in life only if you create it."

"Never obey anyone's command unless it is coming from within you also."

"Happiness is not something to be found; it is something to be created."

"A child is born free, society makes him a prisoner."

"The beauty of facing life unprepared is tremendous."

"This should be one of the basic attitudes-not to think about what the other is doing. That is his life. If he decides to live it that way, that is his business. Who are you even to have an opinion about it? Even to have an opinion means that you are ready to interfere, you have already interfered."

"Tension means you want to be something else that you are not."

"Dreams are beautiful, but don't let them replace reality."

"As long as there is thirst in you, water can quench it; but you can live a kind of life in which you never feel thirsty; do not go in the sun, do no manual work, stay at home and relax and you will not feel the thirst. But then you will find no joy in drinking water. He who toils all day, enjoys the bliss of a good night's rest. This is ironical: if you want to enjoy the pleasure of a good night's sleep you have to work like a labourer all day. The trouble is that you want to spend your days like an emperor and your nights like a labourer."

"Fame is foolish, it is pointless, meaningless. Even if the whole world knows you, how does it make you richer? How does it make your life more blissful? How does it help you to be more understanding, to be more aware? To be more alert, to be more alive?"

"As you become aware of life, you will begin to see the root cause to all your actions and reactions. Then you will realize that you are not angry with the child because he made a mistake, but because you get pleasure out of being angry. The mistake was only a excuse."

"Just living is not always living. Look at your life. Can you call it a blessing? Can you call it a gift? A present of existence? Would you want this life to be given to you again and again?"

"You cannot be truthful if you are not courageous. You cannot be loving if you are not courageous. You cannot be trusting if you are not courageous. You cannot inquire into reality if you are not courageous. Hence courage comes first and everything else follows."

"Drop all fears and just be yourself."

"If you want to control others you will not be able to meditate. About that one point, be absolutely certain."

"Dreams have to be made real, not reality changed into dreams."

"In the old days prime ministers were not chosen by the vote of the people, because how can you choose by the vote of the people? How can people choose their leaders? They would like to, but they are not capable. Democracy is just a dream, it has not happened anywhere " it cannot happen. And wherever it happens it creates trouble; the medicine proves more dangerous than the disease itself."

"Maturity is accepting the responsibility of being oneself, whatsoever the cost."

"You can experience heaven right here, right now."

"No relationship can truly grow if you go on holding back. If you remain clever and go on safeguarding and protecting yourself, only personalities meet, and the essential centers remain alone. Then only your mask is related, not you. Whenever such a thing happens, there are four persons in the relationship, not two. Two false persons go on meeting, and the two real persons remain worlds apart."

"You can either be creative or competitive, but not both."

"Your ego is your prison."

"Be a seeker, not a believer."

"Live each day as if it is your last."

"The only way to find truth is to drop all opinions."

"When you have gone beyond thinking, and if you can still remain alert, aware, as if one is fast asleep but still alert-deep down at the very core of one's being a lamp goes on burning, a small candle of light-then you will see your original face. And to see your original face is to be back in the Garden of Eden."

"When you cry and laugh at the same time, you have reached a state of balance."

"Creativity is the fragrance of individual freedom."

"Unconcious makes you interested in other--things, people, but it is always the others. Unconciousness keeps you you completely in the darknesss; your eyes go on being focused on others. It creates a kind of exteriority, it makes you extroverts. Conciousness creates interiority. It makes you introverts; it takes you inward, deeper and deeper."

"Love is not a relationship, love is a state of being; it has nothing to do with anybody else. One is not "in love", one is love. And of course when one is love, one is in love " but that is an outcome, a by-product, that is not the source. The source is that one is love."

"Be like a river - flowing, adaptable, and alive."

"When the heart is full, words are unnecessary."

"Meditation is a death - it is a death of the ego."

"Don't be serious. Life is too important to be taken seriously."

"The only way to go beyond death is to accept death. Then it disappears. The only way to be fearless is to accept fear. Then the energy is released and becomes freedom."

"Pain is a gift. Instead of avoiding it, learn to embrace it and grow from it."

"The real problem is not whether life exists after death. The real problem is whether you are alive before death."

"Your greatest strength is in your ability to remain still."

"Meditation, godliness, enlightenment, nirvana, they all came into being through love, because through love a glimpse was achieved. And when the glimpse was there, daring souls went on an adventure to find the source from where this glimpse comes."

"Love is the goal, life is the journey."
