about living your life...

Live your life as if you are the first person on the earth. Live as if you are Adam and Eve – nobody has been before so there is no way to imitate. Once you start living your life according to your own light, without any fear of committing mistakes… Mistakes are bound to be committed; they are natural, inevitable and beneficial too. Unless one commits mistakes one never learns. Of course one should not commit the same mistakes again because that is stupid. Go on finding new mistakes, new errors, new ways of going astray.

It is better to go astray on a new path than to follow the crowd on the right path, because it is not a question of right or wrong; the question is of authenticity, sincerity to oneself, responsibility toward one’s own being.

Meditation is application of intelligence to „whatsoever you are doing, and then slowly, slowly, your intelligence becomes a light unto itself.
