All that we know is not learning but a process of accumulating.

Discipline can come into being only when there is the act of learning, not an act of will.

The mind must be empty to learn.

If you have a motive, can you look at yourself?

Envy is not different from me; I am envy. Thought is envy, I am thought.

When thought says, 'I must be beyond envy,' it is still envy.

What takes place in the mind when you stop doing anything about envy?

The very act of a motive is to imprison action.

If I have a motive to be free, it is not freedom.

To look at this whole trap, there must be freedom, without the screen, without the word, without knowledge.

To look attentively is to meditate.

Can the mind look at itself quietly?
