“The intelligent desire self-control; children want candy.”

“There's no one with intelligence in this town except that man over there playing with the children, the one riding the stick horse. He has keen, fiery insight and vast dignity like the night sky, but he conceals it in the madness of child's play.”

“I once had a thousand desires. But in my one desire to know you all else melted away.”

“Work on your strong qualitiesand become resplendent like the ruby.Practice self-denial and accept difficulty.Always see infinite life in letting the self die.Your stoniness will decrease; your ruby nature will grow.The signs of self-existence will leave your body,and ecstasy will take you over.”

“If you desire healing,let yourself fall illlet yourself fall ill.”

“You hurt and have sharp desire,yet your presence is a healing calm.”

“This is what love does and continues to do. It tastes like honey to adults and milk to children.”
