If you are unable to find the truth right where you are, where else do you expect to find it?

Ο άνθρωπος είναι ένα ποτάμι βρώμικο. Πρέπει να είσαι θάλασσα γιά να μπορείς να δέχεσαι ένα βρώμικο πατάμι χωρίς να λερώνεσαι.

My teachings are easy to understand
and easy to put into practice.
Yet your intellect will never grasp them,
and if you try to practice them, you'll fail.

My teachings are older than the world.
How can you grasp their meaning?

If you want to know me,
look inside your heart.
