“Listen to your being. It is continuously giving you hints; it is a still, small voice. It does not shout at you, that is true. And if you are a little silent you will start feeling your way. Be the person you are. Never try to be another, and you will become mature. Maturity is accepting the responsibility of being oneself, whatsoever the cost.
Risking all to be oneself, that’s what maturity is all about.”
“Existence is abundant — millions and millions of flowers, millions of birds, millions of animals — everything in abundance. Nature is not ascetic, it is dancing everywhere — in the ocean, in the trees. It is singing everywhere — in the wind passing through the pine trees, in the birds… What is the need of millions of solar systems, of each solar system having millions of stars? There seems to be no need, except that abundance is the very nature of existence; that richness is the very core; that existence does not believe in poverty.”
“The crisis is in the mind itself, in your mind, in your consciousness. And, unless you respond to that crisis, to that challenge, you will add, consciously or unconsciously, to the confusion, the misery and to this immensity of sorrow.”
“Give yourself completely to the act of listening. Beyond the sounds there is something greater: a sacredness that cannot be understood through thought.”
“To be aware of little, quiet things, you need to be quiet inside. A high degree of alertness is required. Be still. Look. Listen. Be present.”
