The guru cannot awaken you; all that he can do is to point out what is. The guru can give you words; he can give you an explanation, the symbols of the mind, but the symbol is not the real, and if you are caught in the symbol, you will never find the way.
Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect.
Truth, being limitless, unconditioned, unapproachable by any path whatsoever, cannot be organised; nor should any organisation be formed to lead or to coerce people along any particular path.
All ideologies are idiotic, whether religious or political, for it is conceptual thinking, which has so unfortunately divided man.
Self-knowledge is not a thing to be bought in books, but it is awareness, from moment to moment.
