Some quote and excerpts from the video clips

* a realization that conflict destroys not only the mind but the whole sensitivity of awareness

* How do you conquer effort? Answer : I think it comes really when you have direct perception of something that conflict does destroys human dignity, human sense of depth and all the rest of it.

* The ultimate goal if you want to put it that way is to find something that is completely sacred, totally uncontaminated by thought.It's not a concept, it's a reality, why would you reduce it as a concept?

* Thought is limited, because it is born out of knowledge, born out of experience, so knowledge is never complete about anything.

* We are so consumed by our own desires and pleasures, it does not matter as long as we are fulfilled.

* If you see a danger, you move away from it.

* Is pleasure love? Is Love desire, pleasure ? if we accept it, it is our human condition, we have to break through it.

* Love should not be identified with the desire, with pleasure, with sex, fulfillment, a sense of having fun in life. All this is called love. I think that is not love.

* Question : What about the ambition to do good? Ans : Do good, you don't have to be ambitious to do good, then it becomes selfish, a self centered activity, you do good, Finish!

* We live in a world that thought has created. We live in a world where we have given tremendous important to thought, and thought has created all this problems.

* Human consciousness is the consciousness of mankind, it is not my consciousness and your consciousness.

* One has to be free of nuisances that thought has created, to see something really sacred, that comes about through right meditation.

* First we have to put the house in order. They think that by meditating they will put the house in order. On the contrary you must put the house in order, you understand putting house in order?
