Science regards life as matter and spirituality regards even matter as life
Guru as a higher teacher
A teacher is one who simply teaches, but a Guru is one who guides also. A teacher is one step lower than a Guru because a teacher gives you information or teaches you skills, but a Guru is one who makes you reach your destination.
Meditation as mental hygiene
Meditation is a sort of mental hygiene, it keeps you sane. When you are sane then you feel happy and your family is happy.
Divine Vision
"My dream is to see the whole world unite as one family. Shall we all commit to create a wave of happiness and a smile on every face?."
Observation is the key
Craving never dies by experience---craving or aversion goes only through observation.
Head and Heart
When heart speaks and heart listens, harmony is produced. It is always so. When head talks and head listens, argument is produced.
Dropping the Craving
Dropping the craving in the mind, or aversion in the mind, for any particular sense objects, strengthens the mind---and only a strong mind can ever experience Divine Love
Total lack of Wisdom
Mindless violence is prevalent in the world. In the name of country, in
the name of religion, in the name of race. This is absolute nonsense!
This is total lack of viveka, total lack of wisdom.
Untouched
The very purpose for being in this body, for every one of us, is to live and rejoice in that virgin area, that untouched, pure and ever green, blissful area of our Self.
Shradhaa
Do anything---if there is no shradhaa (faith), nothing is going to
benefit you. And if you do nothing and there is shradhaa, that itself
becomes
saadhana for you, becomes a practice.
saadhana for you, becomes a practice.
Changing
Everything in this universe is dynamic. There is nothing that is static.
Even the mountains appear to be static, but they are not static, they are
all dynamic. Every atom is dynamic in this universe.
Meditation and Death
Meditation is very similar to this experience of void. In meditation you realize you are not just the body, but you are more than the body. That annihilates the fear of death.
When You are Disturbed
Do you do this? Any day that you are disturbed, instead of yelling and screaming and shouting at other people here and there, blaming other people, have you ever said, "Oh, I want to do more chanting, and let me sit. Today I feel disturbed so let me go and love more people around me." Have you ever done that?
Flash of Surrender
Sometimes on a dark night if there is lightning, that second you see the whole town. Everything becomes visible, even for a few moments. Like that, surrender happens in deep meditation.

Restricting Awareness
One single thought in the mind can restrict your awareness, the totality of awareness. How big is your mind? How vast is your life? There are so many things in life. One small, insignificant thought, insignificant thing, can clog and cloud your whole awareness.
What is Love
Love is that phenomenon of dissolving, disappearing, merging, becoming one with. Love is that phenomenon of total letting go.
De-Linking
Wisdom is: de-link the event with the emotion, and de-ink the emotion with the sensation. Ignorance is: if you have a some sensation, some sadness, feeling, link it back again to the event. That makes you more miserable, and sets the chain to go on and on, and on.
Attend to the Source
When the Source is attended to, all your other abilities flower automatically, spontaneously.
Release or Increase
See how a mistake has happened out of tension. Knowing that a mistake has happened, if you think, It is *my* mistake, then you are not releasing the tension, you are doubling the tension.
Hard to get
When an attraction becomes a little difficult to attain, then love begins to happen more. And when it becomes a little difficult to capture love, possess love, then devotion starts happening. Just reflect on this.
Who cares?
Who is worried about your status? Nobody. If someone looks at your status, they feel jealousy. Why do you create more jealousy in other people
Really Living
To your very dear and loved ones, you say this: "If you need me, I am here. I am here for you. I am here to make you comfortable." Those are the moments that you have really lived your life.
Anything can Change
Anything can change any time, in any manner. The whole world is the field of all probabilities, possibilities.
Changing
Everything in this universe is dynamic. There is nothing that is static. Even the mountains appear to be static, but they are not static, they are all dynamic. Every atom is dynamic in this universe.
Mysterious Love
When you live in Love, you become so mysterious! That is Govinda. 'Govind' means one who has hidden knowledge, or one who cannot be explained in words, is beyond the words.
Resisting Feelings
Some feeling came into you, unpleasant feeling, and you said, "Should not come, it should not come!" Doing that, you are resisting it. When you resist, it persists. Just observe. See, "Oh!" Go deep into it. Dance, stand up on your feet and dance. Be intoxicated; move intoxicated.
Arms Open
Stand there with your arms open and say, "What storms may come--let them. I am here." You grow out of them. You become bigger.
Unending Desires
We are busy wanting something all the time. One want finishes, then another want comes up right away. They are in a queue, you know---like in L.A. airport, one plane behind another. One takes off and within two minutes the other takes off.
