	1.   There are thousands of ways of going astray and there is only one way of going into yourself.  Just a single inch's difference and you are lost; find yourself you will not.   2.   Every thought is trying to take you astray. Every feeling, every sentiment — all the qualities of your mind are enemies as far as the discovery of your center is concerned.   3.   Your mind is constantly pushing you forward, outward: "Become a success, be more powerful." And your inner being remains starving.   4.   You go on pouring your energy into the outside world, which is not really your home, and your real being is starving inside, waiting, for hundreds of lives.   5.   Everywhere you will find yourself miserable, because always you want more, and life is fleeting. Moment to moment, death is coming closer, and your goal you have not achieved.    6.   Outside there is nothing but misery. We can try to put on masks, we can try to smile, but in fact we want to weep.

If you don't search for who it is who comes and goes, but just become involved in the non-essentials of life — this is the greatest pain possible. To live and yet to miss the source of life; to live only superficially, never going into the depths of your being or the heights of your consciousness; to just remain mundane — this is the most painful thing according to the Eastern approach.                                                                                                          - Osho
