REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE…
“nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.”
“My rebel, my new man, is Zorba the Buddha.
“Mankind has lived believing either in the reality of the soul and the illusoriness of matter, or in the reality of matter and the illusoriness of the soul.
“You can divide the humanity of the past into the spiritualists and the materialists. But nobody has bothered to look at the reality of man. He is both together. He is not just spirituality, he is not just consciousness – nor is he just matter. He is a tremendous harmony between matter and consciousness….
“Man as a totality has not been accepted. This has created misery, anguish, and a tremendous darkness: a night that has lasted for thousands of years, that seems to have no end.”

“The whole truth is: the body has its own reality, and consciousness has its own reality. And the miracle is, the mystery is, that these two separate realities are together, that these two separate realities are functioning in deep synchronicity. This is the mystery: matter dancing in tune with consciousness, consciousness dancing in tune with matter. This mystery I call godliness, this mystery I call truth, the whole truth.”

“Zorba the Buddha is the answer. It is the synthesis of matter and soul. It is a declaration that there is no conflict between matter and consciousness, that we can be rich on both sides….
“Zorba the Buddha is the new man, is the rebel. His rebellion consists of destroying the schizophrenia of man, destroying the dividedness – destroying spirituality as against materialism, and destroying materialism as against spirituality. It is a manifesto that body and soul are together, that existence is full of spirituality, that even mountains are alive, that even trees are sensitive, that the whole of existence is both…The whole of existence is nothing but an energy field.
“This is my experience – it is not my philosophy. And this is supported by modern physics and its research. Existence is energy; we can allow man to have both the worlds together….
“Be a Zorba, but don’t stop there: go on moving toward being a Buddha. Zorba is half, Buddha is half.”

“Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”
– MARK 11:24
“Zorba is not separate from Buddha….
“Zorba can only be the foundation; Buddha is the temple. Neither can exist without the other. It has been tried for thousands of years that they should exist separately – and the ultimate result is this insane humanity you see….
“Zorba has to be absorbed into Buddha. They have to be accepted totally as one. And I don’t see where the trouble is. In fact, Zorba plus Buddha will be a tremendous enrichment.”

“Enjoy your body; enjoy your physical existence. There is no sin in it. Hidden behind it is your spiritual growing, is your spiritual blissfulness. When you are tired of physical pleasures, only then will you ask, ‘Is there something more?’ And this question cannot be only intellectual, it has to be existential. ‘Is there something more?’ And when the question is existential, you will find within yourself something more.
“There is something much more. Zorba is only the beginning. Once the buddha, the awakened soul, takes possession of you, then you will know that pleasure was not even a shadow. There is so much bliss. This bliss is not against pleasure. In fact, it is pleasure, which has brought you to bliss. There is no fight between Zorba and Buddha. Zorba is the arrow – if you follow it rightly, you will reach the Buddha.”

Your vision is that Zorba the Buddha can save the world?
“This is my effort: To bring Zorba the Buddha into the world.
“That will create a unity in you; your body and soul will have a unity. You will not have to fight against your nature, you can use it as a stepping stone. There is no need to fight, there is no need to repress.
“You have to use your natural energies to grow. It will bring man into a totality.
“If you are one, you would like to dance in the open air under the sun. That will be your real prayer.
“Nothing is said, nothing is asked, but you are showing your gratitude to existence.
“Zorba the Buddha will not only destroy the split in man, it will destroy the split in society….
“The world needs to be one.
“The world needs one language.
“The world needs only one kind of man: Zorba the Buddha.
“The world is fed up with all your religions and all your nations. It is fed up with your priests and your politicians.
“And Zorba the Buddha can do it very silently – just by his presence, just by his loving, compassionate approach to everything.”

“And remember, if I have to choose between the two, I will choose Zorba, not Buddha…because the Zorba can always become the Buddha, but the Buddha becomes confined to his own holiness. He cannot go to the disco and become the Zorba. And to me, freedom is the highest value; there is nothing greater, more precious, than freedom.”

“I fell in love with her courage, her sincerity, and her flaming self respect. And it’s these things I’d believe in, even if the whole world indulged in wild suspicions that she wasn’t all she should be. I love her and it is the beginning of everything.”
