He had been already telling the cleaning lady in the previous job that it's not sensible to worry at all when she fell seriously ill.

That was before he made more money than he really needed.

Now he was thinking about a quiet house at the beach or with green plants outside the window..

When the king wanted to appoint a wise man as his adviser, the man said: I happen to have a deep-seated and worrisome illness which I am just now trying to put in order. So I have no time to put the empire in order.

He who knows how to respect life, though he may be rich and honored, will not allow the means of nourishing life to injure him. Though he may be poor and humble, he will not allow concerns of profit to entangle his body. The men of the present age, if they occupy high office and are honored with titles, all think only of how serious a matter it would be to lose them. Eyes fixed on profit, they make light of the risk to their lives. Are they not deluded indeed?

When Huang-Po was offered a position in the Prince's court he said: Thanks but I prefer to wallow in the mud like that carefree turtle there!

For a person to help himself the absolute necessity is she must understand the only true help is to help oneself. There is no one to save me. No amount of reassurance is going to bring confidence in anyone. If I understand that no one can help me if I don't help myself, I will not look outside for help. One has to experiment oneself and know for oneself. That means not being a second-hand human being, not depending on something or someone else.

Tibetan lamas and Muslim imams still teach that the Earth is flat. The etymology of the word Muslim is 'slave'. Children in Christian countries are taught of the ascension of Virgin Holy Mary but there is not a subject of what thought is in the school programs. The organized 'religions' purport existence of things for which there is no proof whatsoever.

Politics and social activism have been tried for thousands of years. They haven't changed the man either. They mean just more of the same, which is what the word conservatism means.

The society is obviously a product of the fragmentary perception of thought. It is conflicting and contradictory. Let's take the freedom of movement for consideration. It is based on nationality, which is basically a record which does not matter. What matters on the other hand is if a person is sane or he is a believer in superstitions, addicted to substances or ideologies, violent and therefore dangerous to other people. On what other ground should a group of people restrict someone's movement?

There's someone at every corner of the street ready to tell you what to do.

Don't be a second-hand human being. Find out for yourself.

UP is the only real change. It is the true psychotherapy and the forgotten essence of religion.

Why do you want to be entangled in so many things like in a spider's web? Do not get entangled.

Get free.

Go slow.

Not stressed, in a heart beat, in a heart attack. You can't do everything at once, haste makes waste.

The writing on the tombs are for the living, rest in peace..

Eyes don't see the world is divided in any way. There is a fence but a state border cannot be seen. It is imaginary.

It is thought in fragmentary perception imagining there is a border.

Even if something looks nice on the surface, if it doesn't have roots in fact, if it's not true to the bone, it will sooner or later rot, stink and fall apart. There is no good home on moving sands.

Fragmentary perception of thought is OK until it's OK.

Why would a sane person rely solely on what someone or some book says on the matter of morality and what is right living?

Do I have to look around for someone to tell me what to do or what not to do? There is a 'specialist' waiting at every corner of the street..

Or is it enough to stop abusing one's intelligence?

Know for yourself.
