Trust is the fragrance of a silent, peaceful being. Trust is the fragrance of nothingness.

No, being concerned is not good, because if you are concerned too much, you will become tense. And if you become tense you cannot help.

If you wish to see the truth, then hold no opinion for or against.

The consistent man is a logical man, his life is one-dimensional. He lives in arithmetic, he follows logic. If anything goes against logic he simply avoids seeing it; he pretends that it is not there, because it is so disturbing to his logic.

Life is purposeless. Don't be shocked. The whole idea of purpose is wrong -- it comes out of greed.

Existence does not listen to your desires, and does not follow you desires, however beautiful and however pious. Existence goes on in its own way.

Revolution is fighting with the past. Rebellion is meditating for the future.

Nobody is superior, nobody is inferior, but nobody is equal either. People are simply unique, incomparable. You are you, I am I. I have to contribute my potential to life; you have to contribute your potential to life. I have to discover my own being; you have to discover your own being.

Who is a rebellious person? The rebellious person is one who does not bother about the society at all. He simply lives through his innermost core; he is one who follows his Tao.

Let it all go, see what stays.

I teach you rebellion! Come out of the masses. Stand alone like a lion and live your life according to your own light.

Be in the world, but don't let the world be in you. Love, and yet don't be lost in it. Relate, and yet be alone, utterly alone. Know perfectly well that all relationship is a game: play the game and play it as beautifully as possible and as skillfully as possible.

Risk all. Let life be a play, a risk, a gamble. And when you can risk all you will attain to a sharpness in your being: your soul will be born. The Golden Flower can bloom in you only if you are courageous, daring. It blooms only in courage.

That is the whole art of meditation: becoming conscious of consciousness itself.

Open doors to unknown directions to the child so he can explore. Don't make him afraid of the unknown, give him support.

Zen is magic. It gives you the key to open the miraculous. And the miraculous is in you and the key is also in you.

Life is very strange. Here we miss the very thing that we crave for and cling to, and we find what we don't seek. If one does not seek anything, it means he does not lack it, he already has it.

Treat the whole existence as divine. Even a rock is a goddess, a river is a goddess. Even animals are nothing but divine forms. So remember that you are a goddess and that everybody else is also a god or a goddess.

Sound is our mind, silence is our being.

A Buddha is a Buddha, a Krishna is a Krishna, and you are you.
