Silence reveals itself only to itself. Only when we enter as nothing and stay as nothing, will silence open its secret.

Be REALISTIC: plan for a MIRACLE.

No thought has any power. You have power. And when you identify and believe in the thought you give power to the thought.

When you know, without a shadow of a doubt, that you are this stillness, that you are this awareness, then it doesn’t matter what is on the surface.

The error is that you are not what can be thought, or perceived, or felt. You are that in which all thoughts, all perceptions, all feelings, appear.

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

The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it.

I teach you joy, not sadness. I teach you playfulness, not seriousness. I teach you love and laughter. Because to me there is nothing more sacred than love and laughter. And there is nothing more prayerful than playfulness.

Don't move the way fear makes you move. Move the way love makes you move. Move the way joy makes you move.

The primary task of any good spiritual teaching is not to answer your questions, but to question your answers.

Don't be too quick to interpret the moment. Just keep quiet. My encouragement would always be: never think anything is against you, everything is blessing. Why should it be different? Just be quiet. Let it all work itself out.

You are not here to fulfill anybody’s expectations and nobody else is here to fulfill your expectations. Never become a victim of others’ expectations and don’t make anybody a victim of your expectations.

To be creative means to be in love with life. You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty, you want to bring a little more music to it, a little more poetry to it, a little more dance to it.

Philosophy is a blind man in a dark room on a dark night, searching for a black cat which is not there ...

Keep quiet. Don’t touch the thoughts. Let them be.

We should come to know that there is more reality and sacredness in a blade of grass than in all of our thoughts and ideas about reality.

Be a lotus flower. Be in the water, and do not let the water touch you.

At the end of the day, you can have something in your head, something in your hand, or something in your heart. What are you choosing?

The real religious man is like a green tree – in fact, more like green grass. That’s how Lao Tzu defines the religious man: he is like the grass.

Let the wind come, and the grass bows down, falls to the earth, is not in any way fighting with the wind. Why fight it? We are part of one organic unity; the wind is not our enemy.

The grass bows down; the wind is gone and the grass is back again dancing. The wind has been a help, it has taken all the dust away. The grass is greener, fresher, it enjoyed the whole play with the wind.

Language is for non-lovers, those who are not in love. For lovers, silence is enough language. Without saying anything, they go on speaking.
