"The mind is the result of the thought process, the result of time, and this thought process must come to an end. The mind cannot think of that which is eternal, timeless; therefore, the mind must be free of time, the time process of the mind must be dissolved. Only when the mind is completely free from yesterday, and is therefore not using the present as a means to the future, is it capable of receiving the eternal."
"It is in the mind that birth and death, pleasure and pain, in short, the world and ego, exist. If the mind is destroyed all else are destroyed too. Note that it should be annihilated, not just made latent. For the mind is dormant in sleep. It does not know anything. Still, on waking up you are as you were before. There is no end of grief. But if the mind be destroyed the grief will have no background and will disappear along with the mind."
"I had to abandon the idea of the superordinate position of the ego… I saw that everything, all paths I had been following, all steps I had taken, were leading back to a single point — namely, to the mid-point. It became increasingly plain to me that the mandala is the centre. It is the exponent of all paths. It is the path to the centre, to individuation.
I knew that in finding the mandala as an expression of the self I had attained what was for me the ultimate."
"Your mind is your world. Your mind is your health, your mind is your illness. And if you live with the mind, you continue to live in a capsule, and you cannot know what reality is. That reality is known only when you drop all types of minds - communal, individual, social, cultural, personal… when you drop all types of minds. Then your mind becomes universal. The your mind becomes one with the mind of the universe. When you don’t have your own mind, your consciousness becomes universal."
