Without Knowing Yourself, There Is No Peace.

Can't You Fall In Love And Not Have A Possessive Relationship? I Love Someone And She Loves Me And We Get Married - That Is All Perfectly Straightforward And Simple, In That There Is No Conflict At All.

There Is Always Great Beauty, Not Of Images, Feeling Or Thought. Beauty Is Neither Thought Nor Feeling; It Has Nothing Whatsoever To Do With Emotion Or Sentiment. There Is Fear. Fear Is Never An Actuality; It Is Either Before Or After The Active Present. When There Is Fear In The Active Present, Is It Fear? It Is There And There Is No Escape From It, No Evasion Possible. There, At That Actual Moment, There Is Total Attention At The Moment Of Danger, Physical Or Psychological.

Self-knowledge Is Only From Moment To Moment, And Therefore There Is A Creative Happiness From Moment To Moment.

Awareness Is That State Of Mind Which Takes In Everything-the Crows Flying Across The Sky, The Flowers On The Trees, The People Sitting In Front, The Colors They Are Wearing - Being Extensively Aware, Which Needs Watching, Observing, Taking In The Shape Of The Leaf, The Shape Of The Trunk, The Shape Of The Head Of Another, What He Is Doing.

You Must Look Most Intimately And Discover For Yourself; Then It Is Your Own, Not Somebody Else’s, Not Something That You Have Been Told, Because There Is No Teacher And No Follower.
