“We must be clear on this matter from the very beginning. There is no belief demanded or asked, there are no followers, there are no cults, there is no persuasion of any kind, in any direction, and therefore only then can we meet on the same platform, on the same ground, at the same level.
Then we can together observe the extraordinary phenomena of human existence.”
Saanen, Switzerland, July 6, 1980

“Love is not attachment. Love does not yield sorrow. Love has no despair or hope. Love cannot be made respectable, part of the social scheme. When it is not there, every form of travail begins.”
