If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace.
If you want to do evil, science provides the most powerful weapons to do evil; but equally, if you want to do good, science puts into your hands the most powerful tools to do so. The trick is to want the right things, then science will provide you with the most effective methods of achieving them.
The basic difference between being assertive and being aggressive is how our words and behaviour affect the rights and well being of others.
I still have a lot to learn - about the business, about music, and about myself. Its exciting.
All differences in this world are of degree, and not of kind, because oneness is the secret of everything.
The fool, with all his other faults, has this also, he is always getting ready to live.
Secret operations are essential in war; upon them the army relies to make its every move.
It's just like when you've got some coffee that's too black, which means it's too strong. What do you do? You integrate it with cream, you make it weak. But if you pour too much cream in it, you won't even know you ever had coffee. It used to be hot, it becomes cool. It used to be strong, it becomes weak. It used to wake you up, now it puts you to sleep.
In the East people have condemned the body, condemned matter, called matter "illusory," maya - it does not really exist, it only appears to exist; it is made of the same stuff as dreams are made of. They denied the world, and that is the reason for the East remaining poor, sick, in starvation.
Half of humanity has been accepting the inner world but denying the outer world. The other half of humanity has been accepting the material world and denying the inner world. Both are half, and no man who is half can be contented. You have to be whole: rich in the body, rich in science; rich in meditation, rich in consciousness. Only a whole person is a holy person, according to me.
I want Zorba and Buddha to meet together. Zorba alone is hollow. His dance has not an eternal significance, it is momentary pleasure. Soon he will be tired of it. Unless you have inexhaustible sources, available to you from the cosmos itself...unless you become existential, you cannot become whole. This is my contribution to humanity: the whole person.
Man must awaken and see light, then he will be able to see through the illusion of much that he treasures and seeks.
The life ahead can only be glorious if you learn to live in total harmony with the Lord.
Your only obligation in any lifetime is to be true to yourself. Being true to anyone else or anything else is not only impossible, but the mark of a fake messiah.
The future destiny of a child is always the work of the mother.
Let's not take the dirt from the front face just because it's easier.
