• Perhaps Westerners are in a better position to practice true renunciation than uneducated Orientals because most Western people, by the time they come to the Dharma, have led a pretty full worldly life with lots of sensual pleasures, money and lots of toys to play with. They have seen that the path of accumulation of worldly treasure does not lead to happiness or contentment. That's why they come to the Dharma.

• Too often in the west we fail to realize that even in eastern disciplines the spiritual life is not meant as an escape from the worldly life. There is karma to be fulfilled on earth, within the dharma of necessity.

• Pienso en ti a menudo. Sobre todo por las tardes, cuando estoy en el balcón y está demasiado oscuro para escribir o para hacer otra cosa que esperar a las estrellas. Un momento que me encanta. Uno se siente medio incorpóreo, sentado como una sombra a la puerta de su ser mientras sube la marea oscura. Luego viene la luna, maravillosamente serena, y las pequeñas estrellas, muy alegres por alguna razón propia. Es tan fácil olvidarse, en una vida mundana, de atender a estos milagros.

• What I am in search of is not so much the gratification of a curiosity or a passion for worldly life, but something far less conditional. I do not wish to go out into the world with an insurance policy in my pocket guaranteeing my return in the event of a disappointment, like some cautious traveller who would be content with a brief glimpse of the world. On the contrary, I desire that there should be hazards, difficulties and dangers to face; I am hungry for reality, for tasks and deeds, and also for privation and suffering.
