The problem is not yours - it is your mind's only. Begin by disassociating yourself from your mind. Resolutely remind yourself that you are not the mind and that its problems are not yours.

Instead of searching for what you do not have, find out what it is that you have never lost.

Shift your attention from words to silence and you will hear.

Whatever happens, happens to you by you, through you; you are the creator, enjoyer and destroyer of all you perceive.

We miss the real by lack of attention, and create the unreal by excess of imagination.

You cannot transcend what you do not know. To go beyond yourself, you must know yourself.

There is only life, there is nobody who lives a life.

The consciousness in you and the consciousness in me, apparently two, really one, seek unity and that is love.

As you watch your mind, you discover your self as the watcher. When you stand motionless, only watching, you discover your self as the light behind the watcher.

Sometimes I feel I am everything, I call that Love. Sometimes I feel I am nothing, I call that Wisdom. Between Love and Wisdom my life continuously flows.

Nothing can trouble you but your own imagination.

Those who spend all they earn always end in penury.

The moment you exchange spontaneity with rules you've lost the edge of romance

Did you know I started out as a stand-up comic? People don't believe me when I tell them. That's how I saw myself, in comedy.

We shall return to proven ways - not because they are old, but because they are true.

Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think.

The issues of going back to coal in Ontario? I don't think we're going to win that one.

Much unhappiness has come from things left unsaid

I had nothing and I was still changed. Like a costume, my numbness was taken away. Then hunger was added.

Believe me, the intellectual revolution is going on, and that has to come first before you see the political changes. That's where I'm very optimistic.
