Buddhas Quotes and Sayings

• It does not matter whether you paint, sculpt, or make shoes; whether you are a gardener, a farmer, a fisherman, a carpenter -- it does not matter. What matters is, are you putting your very soul into what you are creating? Then your creative products have something of the quality of divine. Except creativity, there is nothing divine. - Osho
   

• We do not know how to look at a problem dispassionately. We are not capable of it, unfortunately, because we want a result from the problem, we want an answer, we are looking to an end; or we try to translate the problem according to our pleasure or pain; or we have an answer already on how to deal with the problem. Therefore we approach a problem, which is always new, with the old pattern. The challenge is always the new, but our response is always the old; and our difficulty is to meet the challenge adequately, that is fully. - Jiddu Krishnamurti
   

• To feel that life is utterly meaningless is to be on a crossroads: either you choose suicide or you choose sannyas; either you choose madness or you choose meditation. It is a great turning-point! - Osho
   

• Remember, meditation can never be result-oriented; you simply meditate, that's all. Everything happens but it will not be a result. If you are seeking the result nothing will happen; meditation will be useless. - Osho
   

• Ego is the centre of all human activity; and the attempts of the ego to secure its own extinction might be compared with the attempt of a man to stand on his own shoulders. Just as the eye cannot see itself, the ego is unable to end its own existence. All that it does in order to bring about self-annihilation only goes to add to its own existence: it flourishes on the very efforts directed against itself. Thus it is unable to vanish altogether through its own desperate activity, though it succeeds in trans-forming its own nature. The vanishing of the ego is con-ditioned by the melting away of the limited mind which is its seat. - Meher Baba
