Meditation is the process of understanding your own mind.

Its beautiful to be alone. To be alone does not mean to be lonely. it means the mind is not influenced and contaminated by society.

It's no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.

In oneself lies the whole world and if you know how to look and learn, the door is there and the key is in your hand. Nobody on earth can give you either the key or the door to open, except yourself.

I don't mind what happens. That is the essence of inner freedom. It is a timeless spiritual truth: release attachment to outcomes, deep inside yourself, you'll feel good no matter what.

The ability to observe without evaluating is the highest form of intelligence.

Throughout life, from childhood, from school until we die, we are taught to compare ourselves with another; yet when I compare myself with another I am destroying myself.

A lily or a rose never pretends, and its beauty is that it is what it is.

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.

Here is my secret: I don't mind what happens.

We all want to be famous people, and the moment we want to be something we are no longer free.

Earth is the source of light.

Like a kiss, the pain which envelops us will leave and in it's place there will be an empty pit.

I was always concerned with writing to my age at a particular moment. That was the way I would keep faith with the audience that supported me as I went along.

I don't like directing a lot of people. So trying to keep things really simple and elegant is my preferred way of working.

It's not that hard to climb a pole. All you need are powerful thighs and an empty soul.

Life itself is selfless giving. We're not given this life just for own amusement and pleasures.

Well you only need the light when it's burning low, only miss the sun when it starts to snow.

Writing poetry is talking to oneself; yet it is a mode of talking to oneself in which the self disappears; and the product's something that, though it may not be for everybody, is about everybody.

Feel the dignity of a child. Do not feel superior to him, for you are not.
