Remember, it is ultimately your mind which makes anything attractive or unattractive. It is you who is the deciding factor.

No-thinking is the door. No-word is the gate. No-mind is the way.

Thinking goes on in your head. It is not really deep into the roots of your being; it is not your totality.

Mind is basically the beginning of madness. And if you are too much in it, it will drive you mad.Mind has no certainity about anything. If you are betweeen two polarities of the mind,in a limbo--always to do or not to do,you will go crazy. You are crazy! Before it happens,jump out and have a look from outside at the mind.Mind is basically indecisive and awareness is basically decisive.So any act of awareness is total,full without repentance.

Zen is a single step—the journey of one single step. You can call it the last step or the first step, it doesn’t matter. It is the first and it is the last, the alpha and the omega. The whole teaching of Zen consists of only one thing: how to take a jump into nothingness, how to come to the very end of your mind, which is the end of the world.

Yoga is a method to come to a nondreaming mind. Yoga is the science to be in the here and now.

A mystic is one who has dropped all dreams, who has thrown away this mirror of the mind and who looks directly into life, without any medium interfering. Then he sees the eternal progression, then in a single moment he sees all eternity, and in a single atom he can see the whole reflected.

Mind: A beautiful servant, a dangerous master.
