First, meditation, and then out of meditation comes creativity of its own accord.

The miserable person is easily enslaved. The cheerful person, the blissful person, cannot be enslaved.

Happiness is a shadow of harmony; it follows harmony. There is no other way to be happy.

God is the source of all creativity. You can be creative only when you are EN RAPPORT with God.

It is impossible to pursue happiness. Nobody has ever pursued it. One has to wait for it. And it is not a right at all. No law court can force you to be happy or force happiness to be with you. No government violence is capable of making you happy. No power can make you happy.

Zen is the only religion in the world that teaches sudden enlightenment. It says that enlightenment takes no time, it can happen in a single, split second.

If you can become a mirror you have become a meditator. Meditation is nothing but skill in mirroring. And now, no word moves inside you so there is no distraction.

There is no one lonelier than God!

Modern art is childish - not childlike, remember, childish; not innocent but stupid, insane, pathological. We have to get rid of this trend. We have to create a new kind of art, a new kind of creativity. We have to bring to the world again what Gurdjieff calls objective art.

Be a loving person rather than in a love relationship.

Wherever desire exists ego exists, and wherever ego exists illusion exists because ego is the greatest illusion there is. Even in a beggar who has nothing else you will find the same ego as you will find in Alexander the Great, because desiring is the same. Alexander the Great may have much money and much power, that does not matter; he is still desiring. The beggar may not have anything, but he is also desiring.

One just needs a little alertness to see and find out: Life is really a great cosmic laughter.

I have a deep reverence for everything that is alive, a reverence for life itself.

In the name of celibacy, sex has been repressed for centuries and you have become just full of sexuality. Rather than transcending it you are boiling within.

Drop the idea that attachment and love are one thing. They are enemies. It is attachment that destroys all love.

All your seriousness is about sandcastles. And you yourself will leave them one day, trampling them down, and you will not look back. The people who take it seriously miss the beauty of playfulness.

Learn to listen and trust your inner voice.

Zen is all-inclusive. It never denies, it never says no to anything; it accepts everything and transforms it into a higher reality.

Love is life, love is god, love is sannyas!

God is not the Creator, He is creativity. Creativity is His being. He has always been creating.

This is what I mean by becoming religious: no guilt, no ego, no trip of any kind...just being here now...being with the trees and the birds and the rivers and the mountains and the stars.

Only people who carry the opinions of others need the support of others.

Just one quality of the Buddha has to be remembered. He consists only of one quality: witnessing. This small word witnessing contains the whole of spirituality. Witness that you are not the body. Witness that you are not the mind. Witness that you are only a witness. As the witnessing deepens, you start becoming drunk with the divine. That is what is called ecstasy.
