“Non-violent resistance to evil is a quintessential element of the character of a real human being. If someone does wrong to me, I may be physically capable of breaking his jaw with one blow of my fist, but such violent reciprocation does not define the strength of my character as a real human being. If I succeed in resisting my limbic urge to do harm in return, then only can I be hailed as human being of real character.”

“We someone does wrong, whether it is you or me, whether it is mother or father, whether it is the Gold Coast man or the white man, it is like a fisherman casting a net into the water.

No one forgets that they were once captive, even if they are now free.”

“Meditation is a transcendence of all identities. We are identified with the mind and the body, The first step of meditation is to transcend identity and to become aware that we are not the mind and the body. The second step of meditation is to become aware that we are identified with the heart, with our feelings and emotions. These are the steps in meditation that we are identified with; the body, the mind and the heart. Out of these steps in meditation comes the most positive phenomenon in existence: suddenly we become aware of who we are. And then a miracle happens: out of knowing who we are we suddenly attain the biggest yes in our life. You attain a total yes, an absolute yes, a sacred yes. That yes is a transcendence of all misery, of all ignorance and of all bondage. You become part of eternity. You become part of God. You become God himself. That is the ultimate goal of meditation.”

“Being homosexual is no more abnormal than being lefthanded.”
