- There is no mind without idea, thought and verbalization.- There is no experiencer and the experience; there is only a state of experiencing.

- Q: Is there a way of knowing what is the truth about myself, without illusion or self-deception?
- Q: Is effort a necessary preliminary to tranquillity?
- Q: I no longer suppress my thoughts and am I shocked by what sometimesarises. Can I be as bad as that?
- Q: Why is it that certain undesirable conditions in oneself do not vanish as soon as they are observed?
- Q: Is the artist or musician engaged in a futile thing?
