Step by step

The horse is our emotions.
The carriage is the body.
The mind must learn to control the emotions.
The emotions always pull the body after them.
This is the order in which work on oneself must proceed.

G. Gurdjieff

In the world but not of it

When you begin to give your attention to the nature of consciousness itself, there is instantaneous freedom - you experience yourself falling out of time. You are in the world but not of it because the place from which you are seeing it exists prior to everything that ever happened.

Andrew Cohen

Only you!

And inside you is your real freedom, because your consciousness cannot be touched by anybody. You are the only master of your being.

Osho

Peace

I call meditation the true practice of peace, the true practice of nonaggression and non-violence, and the real and greatest disarmament.

Sogyal Rinpoche

Nothing to say

The highest truth cannot be put into words. Therefore the greatest teacher
has nothing to say. He simply gives himself in service, and never worries.
