I believe that the very effort to convert anybody is violence, it is interfering in his individuality, in his uniqueness, into his freedom.

I conceive of a world without poverty, without classes, without nations, without religions, without any kind of discrimination. I conceive of a world which is one, a humanity which is one, a humanity which shares everything -- outer and inner -- a deep spiritual brotherhood.

I am not interested at all to convert anybody to my ideology - I don't have any.

Only that which is attained through effortlessness will never be a burden to you, and only that which is not a burden can be eternal. Only that which is not in any way unnatural can remain with you forever and forever.

My vision of a real humanity is of a world consisting not of families, not of nations, not of races, but only of individuals.

As far as I am concerned, I have never planned anything; I have simply lived, wondering what is going to happen next.
