“A goal stood before Siddhartha, a single goal: to become empty, empty of thirst, empty of wishing, empty of dreams, empty of joy and sorrow. Dead to himself, not to be a self any more, to find tranquility with an emptied heard, to be open to miracles in unselfish thoughts, that was his goal. Once all of the Self was overcome and had died, once every desire and every urge was silent in the heart, then the ultimate part of me had to awake, the innermost of my being, which is no longer Self—the great secret.”

“Sometimes, an apology sets free a part of you that you didn't even realize was caged...and forgiveness destroys the cage.”

“Searching means: having a goal. But finding means: being free, being open, having no goal.”
