Conceit and ambition rule the land everywhere, with varying degrees of barbarity and ruthlessness

---

Most of us are seeking to build walls around ourselves so as to be invulnerable, but unfortunately there is always an opening through which life creeps in

---

Right thinking is essential for right living

---

The right kind of life demands of us far more intelligence than any vocation for earning a livelihood

---

To be vulnerable is to live, and to withdraw is to die

---

To live is to be without hope, without the care of tomorrow; it is not hopelessness or indifference

---

We all want to dominate when we do not understand; we want to possess or be possessed when there is fear of ourselves

---

We lead a thoughtless life, and towards the end of it we begin to wonder why the mind decays, and how to arrest the process

---

Life is extraordinarily swift, and vital, but we reduce it to a few fixed patterns, and live within those patterns

---

The man who wants to live a rich, complete life, a life full of beauty and vitality has to be really free of fear

---

To live fully is to live without fear, without sorrow, without asking a thing of the gods , because you would be a light unto yourself
