Living In The Present Is The Instant

You Cannot Lay Down A Standard Which All Must Follow.

Violence Is Not Merely Killing Another. It Is Violence When We Use A Sharp Word, When We Make A Gesture To Brush Away A Person, When We Obey Because There Is Fear. So Violence Isn't Merely Organized Butchery In The Name Of God, In The Name Of Society Or Country. Violence Is Much More Subtle, Much Deeper, And We Are Inquiring Into The Very Depths Of Violence.

Meditation Is Not A Means To An End. It Is Both The Means And The End.

Have You Ever Noticed A Tree Standing Naked Against The Sky, How Beautiful It Is? All Its Branches Are Outlined, And In Its Nakedness There Is A Poem, There Is A Song. Every Leaf Is Gone And It Is Waiting For The Spring. When The Spring Comes, It Again Fills The Tree With The Music Of Many Leaves, Which In Due Season Fall And Are Blown Away. And This Is The Way Of Life.
