When we do something with a quite simple, clear mind, we have no notion or shadows, and our activity is strong and straightforward. But when we do something with a complicated mind, in relation to other things or people, or society, our activity becomes very complex.

"Confusion is a good state to be in. It means you are looking, constantly looking. People ask me, "Why do you confuse us like this?" I want you to understand, if you can be confused by anybody, it means you do not know. If you are fanatical, you cannot be confused. Or if you are realized, you cannot be confused. Between ignorance and enlightenment is a very thin line. But they are worlds apart."

It is a great art to have an abundance of knowledge and experience - to know the richness of life, the beauty of existence, the struggles, the miseries, the laughter, the tears - and yet keep your mind very simple; and you can have a simple mind only when you know how to love.

people often confuse complex ideas that cannot be simplified into a media-friendly statement as symptomatic of a confused mind.

I prefer the simplicity of his mind to the false enlightenment of yours

There are no fools so troublesome as those of the mind

Truth is ever to be found in the simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.

Nothing threatens a corrupt system like a free mind.

When the mind is free of any thought or judgment, it is still and acts like a mirror. Then and only then can we know things as they are. AWARENESS

If your mind is empty, it is always ready for anything; it is open to everything. In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities; in the expert’s mind there are few.

There is nothing mind can do that cannot be better done in the mind's immobility and thought-free stillness.

When mind is still, then truth gets her chance to be heard in the purity of the silence.

The world itself is never overwhelmed or confused — only we are, due to how we are engaged with it.

There is nothing so disobedient as an undisciplined mind, and there is nothing so obedient as a disciplined mind.

The only means of strengthening one's intellect is to make up one's mind
about nothing — to let the mind be a thoroughfare for all thoughts.
