Why be mean when there are soaring mountains and flashing streams? Why jealousy and not love? Why?

  • Identification with the rag called the national flag is an emotional and sentimental factor and for that factor you are willing to kill another - and that is called, the love of your country, love of the neighbor . . .? One can see that where sentiment and emotion come in, love is not.

  • To concentrate is not to meditate, even though that is what most of you do, calling it meditation. And if concentration is not meditation, then what is?
