He has created all the philosophies, all the cultures, all the moralities; everything that exists around you is a creation of the serious man. Zen has dropped out of the serious world. It has created a world of its own which is very playful, full of laughter, where even great masters behave like children.

Spiritual life is not doing the sadhana alone and coming to satsang alone. It is an everyday challenge to do the highest good in the name of God, not in the name of anybody else.

Nothing in this universe is not conquered by love.

To touch truth we must become truth.
