It’s easy to find someone who stands out. However, it is not easy to simply be a human being in this life and stand out.
If you don’t stretch in a new way, don’t expect new experiences in life. Even if there come new ones, they will not be yours.
If you are involved and if you want to be happy in capitalism you have to play a dual role. When others applaud you, capitalism is happy, when you applaud yourself, you are happy.
Life is the awareness of exploring this world, not playing a game in which you want to be a winner because there will always be someone better there. But when you explore yourself, you will always be better yourself.
What’s the point of looking at a watch if you don’t know what you’d like to achieve with the precious time you have?
If you can’t explore yourself half an hour a day, how do you know who you are at all? You do not know and simply believe the mirror or what society tells you are.
The most a teacher can do is to inspire the student to explore himself.
When people blur their senses (with drugs, alcohol) to allow themselves to experience something, unfortunately then they don’t feel anything anymore. It is the evidence of sacrificing life for illusions created by the ego as a result of the limitations of society and unwritten rules.
People are not aware – they sleep and even when a ship comes to bring them to the pleasure of life, they do not recognize it. This is because they never dreamed of the ship. If you dreamed of the ship every day, you would also get to know it in the clouds and darkness.
Don’t look at the teacher, look at his techniques and try them on yourself.
