The message we give our bodies - one of irritation or acceptance - is the message to which our bodies will answer.
Learn to leave things. If you don't have an interest in something, you don't need even to transcend it!
When you can bear your own silence, you are free.
You ask, 'How to live my life?' But with the question you are suffocating life itself, for life is spontaneity.
How can you say you are peaceful if you are still identified with mind?
The greatest step towards a life of happiness and simplicity is to let go. Trust in the power that is already taking care of you spontaneously without effort.
Ignoring the mind is a beautiful sadhana. This is what many of the sages did. They ignored the mind out of existence. It loses its influence and its potency when it is ignored.
I realized what interested me as a student of film was one thing and the movies that I liked were another.
No. 1 thing is that life is just not as interrupt-driven as when you're running a company.
My existence is such that "I" do not really exist. At the end of understanding so much I understand that I know nothing. I suffer for being surrounded by intense suffering and yet I'm deeply suspicious if first of all there is indeed any consciousness except me. I strive to find the artist who might have fathered this great universal art but feel myself to be too feeble to accomplish this seemingly unattainable mission. Yet I have every respect for life, and it is this sheer respect that makes me live.
Conscious choice is creative. Unconscious choice is destructive. That is how we end up living other people's lives.
