Eudaimon

The world problem is your problem. To understand the world, you must understand yourself. To transform the world, you must regenerate yourself.

Love can come into being, can exist only when the self is absent.

A man who merely believes in reincarnation has not understood the whole problem of death and sorrow, and when he believes in that particular theory he is trying to escape from the fact of death.

To understand attachment, first stop battling against it and, so being calm, become aware of the significance, the inward nature and implication of it. Let that awareness flower and bring out the hidden causes.

Mere knowledge becomes an addiction, another, perhaps a subtler, form of distraction; reading and acquiring information are distractions.
