	1.   Throw out all your thoughts. The empty mind is the empty boat and to the further shore you can go in this boat.   2.   Out of this hollowness of the bamboo, a flute can be made. The bamboo will not sing, but it can allow any song to pass through it.   3.   In meditation you have to become hollow, just like a bamboo, so that the whole, the existence itself, can through you sing its song.   4.   The taste of the silence is the same. Time changes, the world goes on changing, but the experience of silence, the joy of it, remains the same.   5.   This is the only thing you can rely upon, the only thing that never dies: the thing that you call your very being.   6.   Tomorrow is absolutely uncertain. Only this moment is in your hands. Transform it into eternity or lose it.

	It is the diamond thunderbolt. It is a sudden experience, with no preparation, no rehearsal, no discipline, no path. Suddenly you open your eyes as if a thunderbolt has hit you and the sleep of millions of years is broken. In that awakening you know the mystery of existence.  The diamond is the hardest thing in the world, and to call a thunderbolt `the diamond thunderbolt' is to say that it comes to you suddenly like a spear, it passes through you, taking away all garbage and leaving behind a pure space.                                                                                                            - Osho
