"Take the people who believe strongly in anything, economic, social, or spiritual; the process
behind it is the psychological desire to be secure, is it not?
...as long as we do not understand the process of desire in the form of belief, there must be conflict, there must be sorrow, and man will be against man - which is seen every day. So if I perceive, if I am aware, that this process takes the form of belief, which is an expression of the craving for inward security, then my problem is not that I should believe this or that but that I should free myself from the desire to be secure." The First and Last Freedom, p.60 |

"...your search for comfort is an utter delusion. There is no such thing in life as comfort
and security."
First Talk at Alpino, 1933 |

"So where is security? There may be no security at all. Just think about it, sir, see the beauty
of that - having no desire for security, having no urge, no feeling of any kind in which there is
security. In your homes, in your offices, in your factories, in your parliaments and so on, is
there security? Life may not have security; life is meant to be lived, not to create problems
and then try to solve them. It is meant to be lived and it will die. That's one of our fears -
to die. Right?"
