“Man tries in every possible way to achieve joy and happiness. Man tries to achieve joy and happiness through accumulating money,
by becoming powerful and by becoming knowledgeable. But these ways are doomed to fail, because they will not bring joy and happiness to you.
Joy and happiness comes only in one way and that is by becoming conscious. The more you are conscious, the more you become happy. The less conscious you are, the more miserable you are. The more conscious you are, the more you feel at home and you are happy and joyous. You can feel the beauty of life. You are more open, loving and the world seems to be your home.
The way of of awareness means the effort to become more and more conscious. Slowly, your consciousness becomes larger and
larger. You become more and more joyful and happy. We are like small buds, but effort is needed to become conscious and become
a flower.
Unconsciousness have been our habit for so many lives that it has almost become our nature. From this moment take the decision
to become more and more conscious in everything you do, in everything you think and in everything you feel. In these three dimensions you have to become conscious and aware. Then the fourth dimension arises, which is our inner being, our true nature, our consciousness.
Once you have learned to come in contact with your inner being, you know the art of happiness.”

“Man tries to make for himself in the fashion that suits him best a simplified and intelligible picture of the world; he then tries to some extent to substitute this cosmos of his for the world of experience, and thus to overcome it. This is what the painter, the poet, the speculative philosopher, and the natural scientists do, each in his own fashion. Each makes this cosmos and its construction the pivot of his emotional life, in order to find in this way peace and security which he can not find in the narrow whirlpool of personal experience.”
