“What is the meaning of life?" "What is consciousness and the mind?” "Why am I here?" “What is my relationship to God and the universe?" These questions have been asked for centuries, but they are irrelevant to achieving social progress. These are unanswerable questions because they don’t have referents in the real world. The posing of such ambiguous questions doesn’t express concern for fellow human beings, or a desire to elevate their condition. Such musings are gibberish in terms of practicality, and as impotent as wailing over an injured person instead of seeking medical attention for them.”

“Whatever happens in the world is real, what one thinks should have happened is projection. We suffer more from our fictitious illusion and expectations of reality.”

“أرى الحكمة فى التخفف من هذا العبء الثقيل , ثم لا أفعل شيئاً فى سبيل الخلاص منه, الحق أنى لا أدرى كيف يظل الإنسان مشدوداً إلى ما ليس يرضيه , ثم يظل مشدوداً إليه برغم أنفه وهو عالم كل العلم أن الروابط التى تشده لا تزيد على نفخات من هواء لو سدُّ عليها الطريق لحظة واحدة لانتهى كل شئ .”
