    You are not worried at all about who you are – that is not a real quest – but about what people think you are. Hence you go on decorating yourself. Your morality, your virtue, is nothing but a decoration so that in others’ eyes you can look beautiful, good, righteous, religious. But this is at a great loss.
  • Nurlan Süleymanovhas quoted5 years ago
    You say: This man is good. What do you mean? And then you say: That man is bad. What do you mean? You say: This man is a saint, and that man is a sinner. What do you mean? Have you ever seen a sinner in whom the saint has completely disappeared? Have you ever seen a saint in whom the sinner has completely disappeared? The difference may be of degrees; it is not black and white.

    Become more interested in being happy than being thought happy. Become more interested in being beautiful than being thought beautiful because thoughts cannot satisfy your thirst, thoughts cannot satisfy your hunger. Whether people think you are well-fed or not is not the question; you cannot deceive the body. Real food is needed, pictures of food won’t do. Real water is needed, pictures of water, formulas about water, won’t do. H2O cannot quench your thirst.

    I don't know why I am here.
    Nobody knows – and there is no way to know it, and there is no need to know it.

    hat’s why people, when they retire, die sooner. Psychoanalysts say that life is cut by at least ten years. Politicians, when they are in power, are very healthy; once they are out of power, their health disappears, they die soon. Once out of power, their whole identity starts disappearing like a dream. Out of the office, suddenly you are nobody. You have been nobody your whole life, but you go on believing in the fictions that you create around you.
  • olgazurowskahas quoted3 years ago
    We ask why about something which is not acceptable to us. We ask why about suffering, misery, hell. We never ask why about love, happiness, blissfulness, ecstasy. So the why is simply an indication that you must be miserable. So rather than asking why you are here, ask why you are miserable. Then something can be done because misery can be changed.

    ut out of one answer, a thousand and one questions arise.

    This is the situation: the faster you run, the more confused you get. The speedier you get, the more confused you get. By and by, you lose all sense of direction. You simply go on zooming from here to there. Speed itself becomes the goal, as if by running fast one feels one is getting somewhere; hence the attraction for speed. It is a neurosis
  • Sharat Pasumarthyhas quoted5 years ago
    ou have to be here with me in reality, totally here with me. Then, only then, a new understanding arises. That should become your way of life, your very style. Constantly be engaged in reality; participate in reality. Don’t be an onlooker, and don’t get too interested in pictures; otherwise, by and by, you will lose the capacity to be aware of reality. The mind has old, deep habits, and it is going to be a constant struggle in the beginning. Th
