“When all the world is filled with evil, transform adversity into the path of enlightenment.”

“The competitive nation-state system, with all its capacity for good and evil, is spreading in the Third World and is transforming that world.”

“When prosperous the fool trembles for the evil that is to come; in adversity the philosopher smiles for the good that he has had.”

“Even in the world, the yogi who faithfully discharges his responsibilities, without personal motive or attachment, treads the sure path of enlightenment.”

“The world we suggest is a new wild west. A sensuous evil world. Strange and haunting, the path of the sun…”

“No spiritual teaching is a direct path to enlightenment. In fact, there is no such thing as a path to enlightenment, simply because enlightenment is ever present in all places and at all times. What you can do is to remove any and all illusions, especially the ones you value most and find the most security in, that cloud your perception of Reality. Let go of clinging to your illusions and resisting what is, and Reality will suddenly come into view.”

“So you see, Good and Evil have the same face; it all depends on when they cross the path of each individual human being.”
