“Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water. Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup; You put water into a bottle it becomes the bottle; You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”

Now I see that I will never find the light unless, like the candle, I am my own fuel, consuming myself.”

The struggle between “for” and “against” is the mind’s worst disease.”
