Mystics

“There are many mystics in the world, but very few masters. Every mystic is not a master. It is a rare combination of articulateness,
of using words in such a way that they carry wordlessness in them, to say things in such a way as if nothing has been said, to be in such a way as if you are not. And the more you are absent, the more you are a pure presence.
There have been many people on the earth who have achieved the ultimate, but we don't even know their names for the simple reason that the moment they achieved, they became dumb -- the silence was so deep,
they could not find a way to convey what had happened to them.“

“The emphasis is not that the truth can be said. On that, the mystics and the masters agree: it cannot be said.
But the masters disagree with the mystics on one point: that it may not be said but it can be heard - through the eyes of the master, through the presence of the master, through his love, through his compassion, through his silence, just being with him. Nothing is said, but somebody's heart may start dancing, a song may arise.“

“Hasidism is not a path of meditation, it is a path of prayer. Prayer has no technique. Meditation can have millions of techniques because meditation is a scientific approach to inner reality. Hasidism is not a science, it is an art. Hasidism does not believe in techniques but in love.“
