We Choose Our Leaders, Political Or Spiritual,

When The Mind Is Relaxed, No Longer Making An Effort, When It Is Quiet For Just A Few Seconds, Then The Problem Reveals Itself And It Is Solved. That Happens When The Mind Is Still, In The Interval Between Two Thoughts, Between Two Responses. In That State Of Mind, Understanding Comes.

Without An Integrated Understanding Of Life, Our Individual And Collective Problems Will Only Deepen And Extend. The Purpose Of Education Isn't To Produce Mere Scholars, Technicians And Job Hunters, But Integrated Men And Women Who Are Free Of Fear; For Only Between Such Human Beings Can There Be Enduring Peace.

The Earth Doesn't Belong To Anyone. It Is The Land Upon Which All Of Us Are To Live For Many Years, Ploughing, Reaping And Destroying. You Are Always A Guest On This Earth And Have The Austerity Of A Guest. Austerity Is Far Deeper Than Owning Only A Few Things. The Very Word Austerity Has Been Spoilt By The Monks, By The Sannyasis, By The Hermits. Sitting On That High Hill Alone In The Solitude Of Many Things, Many Rocks And Little Animals And Ants, That Word Has No Meaning.

Meditation Is Not A Process Of Learning How To Meditate; It Is The Very Inquiry Into What Is Meditation. To Inquire Into What Is Meditation, The Mind Must Free Itself From What It Has Learnt About Meditation, And The Freeing Of The Mind From What It Has Learnt Is The Beginning Of Meditation.

When One Has An Image About Oneself One Is Surely Insane, One Lives In A World Of Illusion.
