I love this man's quotes, so inspiring.
"The human being realise that we are all One, basically
Not as an idea but as a fact
Because when you go to India you see the misery
the confusion, the anxiety, the despair of people
Running to their petit little gods whom they have created
If you come to Europe, it's exactly the same thing
You'll sense a thirst to realise, not verbally
But in your heart, in your blood, your whole thinking
That humans beings right through the world
go through the same agonies that one goes through
The loneliness, the despair, the depressions
The extraordinary uncertainty, insecurity
Whether they live ten thousand miles away or two thousand miles, or here
They're all psychologically bound together
If one realises that profoundly in your guts
In your blood, in your heart, in your mind
Then you're responsible"
"You have to be a light to yourself, not the light of a professor or an analyst or a psychologist or the light of Jesus or the light of the Buddha; you have to be a light to yourself, in a world that's utterly becoming dark."
"You must understand it, go into it, examine it, give your heart and your mind, with everything that you have, to find out a way of living differently. That depends on you, and not on someone else, because in this there is no teacher, no pupil; there is no leader; there is no guru; there is no Master, no Saviour. You yourself are the teacher and the pupil; you are the Master; you are the guru; you are the leader; you are everything. To understand is to transform what is."
