We do not weave the web of life, we are merely a strand in it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. We Americans are fortunate to be the sons and daughters of pioneers, for our genes vibrate with adventure and the urge to get out of queues and start doing better. The greatest revolution in our generation is that of human beings, who by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives. To attain wisdom, remove things every day.
All reality is brought forth solely by the imagination.
Spirituality is a condition of utmost simplicity costing not less than everything. A part limited in time and space, he experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion, to embrace all living creatures and the whole nature in its beauty.
