#being

We work with being, but non-being is what we use.

The purpose of the eye is to see; the purpose of the flower is to bloom; the purpose of your life is simply to be.

A human being is not one thing among others; things determine each other, but man is ultimately self-determining.

Nothing can be undone, and nothing can be wiped out. Having been is also a kind of being, perhaps the most secure kind of being.

Your duty is to be, and not to be this or that. 'I am that I am' sums up the whole truth; the method is summed up in 'be still.'

The flower is not conscious of its perfume; it simply is.

Be what you are: pure, radiant, eternal awareness.

Rest in the effortless presence of your own Being.

To know, to love, to be, to act—these are the four movements of the soul.

Drop the idea of becoming someone, because you are already a masterpiece. You cannot be improved. You have only to come to it, to know it, to realize it.
