“Observe Nature thoughtfully rather than labour thoughtlessly”from “One Straw Revolution”

“We labour at our daily work more ardently and thoughtlessly than is necessary to sustain our life because it is even more necessary not to have leisure to stop and think. Haste is universal because everyone is in flight from himself.”

“There are some so restless that when they are free from labour they labour all the more, because the leisure they they have for thought, the worse interior turmoil they have to bear.”

“3. There are three stages. Thoughtless being. Thought. Return to thoughtless being.33. Do not confuse the first and third stages. Thoughtless being is attained by everyone, the return to thoughtless being by a very few.”

“No thought is a stupid thought, those who are thoughtless are thought of as stupid.”

“There's no greater show on earth than observing human nature”
