“It is in our own mind and not in exterior objects that we perceive most things; fools know scarcely anything because they are empty, and their heart is narrow; but great souls find in themselves a number of exterior things; they have no need to read or travel or to listen or to work to discover the highest truths; they have only to delve into themselves and search, if we may say so, their own thoughts.” IfsKnowsNeedsMindHeartMaySoulNumbersObjectsFoolHighestEmptyPerceiveExteriorGreat Souls Author:Luc de Clapiers
“The highest truth is to delete, not to add. To get rid of the things you believe in now. So empty yourself out totally and completely. All of your ideas, your feelings, all have to be emptied out of you. When you become totally and completely empty there is nothing you have to do to fill it up again. Emptiness is realization. Emptiness is Brahman. Emptiness is the Self. Emptiness is your real nature.” BelieveIdeasRealSelfFeelingsTruth IsHighestEmptyAddRealizationEmptinessBrahman Author:Robert Adams

“You must know nothing before you can learn something, and be empty before you can be filled. Is not the emptiness of the bowl what makes it useful?

“In samadhi, in the highest form of meditation, the same thing happens: the mind stops functioning... but you are conscious. That is the only difference, but the difference that makes the difference. One is fully alert, luminous. One is there witnessing, watching, but there is no cloud of thought. The sky is utterly empty: as far as you can see you cannot see any content.” MindHappensFormDifferencesMeditationSkyHighestConsciousEmptyCloudsThings HappenLuminousSamadhi Author:Rajneesh
“America is said to have the highest per capita boredom of any spot on earth! We know that because we have the greatest number of artificial amusements of any country. People have become so empty that they can't even entertain themselves. They have to pay other people to amuse them, to make then laugh, to try to make them feel warm and happy and comfortable for a few minutes, to try to lose that awful, frightening, hollow feeling-that terrible, dreaded feeling of being lost and alone.” PeopleKnowsFeelsTryingSaidCountryFeelingsEarthAmericaLostLosesNumbersPayLaughingMinutesTerribleComfortableHighestEmptyWarmSpotsAwfulBoredomArtificialFrighteningAmusementHollow Book:Billy Graham: The Inspirational Writings Source: Billy Graham: The Inspirational Writings
“Without total freedom, every perception, every objective regard, is twisted. It is only the man who is totally free that can look and understand immediately.

“I consider that a man's brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose.
