To Be Religious Is To Be Sensitive

All Tradition Is Merely The Past.

Have You Ever Sat Very Quietly With Closed Eyes And Watched The Movement Of Your Own Thinking? Have You Watched Your Mind Working?or Rather, Has Your Mind Watched Itself In Operation, Just To See What Your Thoughts Are, What Your Feelings Are, How You Look At The Trees, At The Flowers, At The Birds, At People, How You Respond To A Suggestion Or React To A New Idea? Have You Ever Done This?

Whatever Discipline You Exercise Should Be Based On The Goal Your Child Is Eventually To Reach, Namely, Freedom And Happiness. I Would Show Him Towards What He Is Growing, His Ultimate Fulfilment, And Help Him To Adapt Himself To That. In Everything That You Do, You Should Keep The Goal In View, And Hence Your Discipline Must Aim At Helping The Child To Realize That At A Certain Stage He Will Be Above All Discipline.

There Is No Partial Sensitivity; Either It Is The State Of One's Whole Being, Total Consciousness Or It Is Not There At All

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.
