- It is very unnatural to have an unexamined life.
- It feels to most of us as if life is always asking, "What are you gonna do? How are you gonna handle that? What's next? What about this and what about that?"
- Tension seems to demand that you respond to it.
- So much of our time is spent trying to sort out why we feel the way we do.
- The mind is always disturbed because it never stops comparing what it is to what it calls the moment outside of it.
- The hardest thing in the world is to do what life asks you to do.
- Once resistance steps in to any moment, then the questions start. Every question that you ask creates time because it is asked by a nature that is in time.
- All of our questions are basically based on the idea of how to avoid the experience I have and get past the pain.
- Self-knowledge includes the fact that there is something that goes before you that is a know-it-all that knows exactly how you should feel and the way things should be going.
- You are terrified of a simple life. But the contradiction is that everything about what you're doing is to try to make your life simple.
- Life is asking you, "Will you be a decent human being?"
- You can't think your way into freedom.
- Tell me, and I'll forget. Show me, and I might remember. Involve me, and I'll understand.
- If I'm actually involved in the moment, really present, then the very presence in the moment is instructing me on what to do.
- How did the wise man become wise? He stopped answering his own questions.
