“If you begin to understand what you are without trying to change it, then what you are undergoes a transformation.”

“To transform the world, we must begin with ourselves; and what is important in beginning with ourselves is the intention. The intention must be to understand ourselves and not to leave it to others to transform themselves or to bring about a modified change through revolution, either of the left or of the right. It is important to understand that this is our responsibility, yours and mine...”

“What you are the world is. And without your transformation, there can be no transformation of the world.”

“Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you'll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others. ”

“You don't change what you love or you never loved it to begin with.”

“To write a good love letter, you ought to begin without knowing what you mean to say, and to finish without knowing what you have written.”
