The Mind Has To Be Empty To

It Is Very Difficult To Be Like The Other Guy, To Be Ordinary. Mediocrity Takes A Great Deal Of Energy. But To Be Ourselves Is Very Easy. You Don't Have To Do A Thing.

Are You Trying To Grasp The Quality Of Intelligence, Compassion, The Immense Sense Of Beauty, The Perfume Of Love And That Truth Which Has No Path To It?

We Demand To Be Coaxed And Comforted, To Be Encouraged And Gratified, So We Choose A Teacher Who Will Give Us What We Crave For. We Do Not Search Out Reality, But Go After Gratification And Sensation.

What Brings Understanding Is Love. When Your Heart Is Full, Then You Will Listen To The Teacher, To The Beggar, To The Laughter Of Children, To The Rainbow, And To The Sorrow Of Man. Under Every Stone And Leaf, That Which Is Eternal Exists.

To Concentrate Is Not To Meditate, Even Though That Is What Most Of You Do, Calling It Meditation. And If Concentration Is Not Meditation, Then What Is? Surely, Meditation Is To Understand Every Thought That Comes Into Being, And Not To Dwell Upon One Particular Thought; It Is To Invite All Thoughts So That You Understand The Whole Process Of Thinking.
