Addictions or Vasanas
Limited attraction, small attractions here and there---smell, touch, taste, sight---these are called the "vasunas." The five senses draw you into small, limited awareness, and not only just enjoying that, but you get entangled in the mind, thinking about it all the time.
No Going Back
For every step, the previous phase has to be disolved. One phase
disolves to give space for another, and it is always evolutionary. So
there is no reverting back, no reversing---it is evolutionary. It can
stop for a while, but then it continues.

The formless
The formless is ruling your life. The formless is ruling the world. And there is a greater formlessness that is ruling the entire creation. And you are the center of that greater formlessness, whatever you call it---God, Consciousness, No-Mind, Nirvana, Spirit, anything you call it by name.
Expressing Love
When we express love too much, then also it disappears, dies out. It's like when you keep the seed on the surface of the soil, not a little deep inside, it doesn't grow.
Limited Senses
Our senses have a limited capacity to enjoy, but the desire in the mind to enjoy is infinite. This is where opposition begins: the mind wants to enjoy, but your body is too tired to enjoy
Body is space
See, ninety percent of this body is only space, and space, and space. And what is in this space? That is mind; that is consciousness; that is intelligence.
How to live
Live as though you are nobody. Live as though you are a glow of light. And you will see, that bliss that comes out of it, you cannot even compare to any other joy through any senses.
connected to the present moment
Dispassion does not divide you; in fact, it connects you. It connects you to the present moment so totally, so you can be 100% in anything you do.
Purpose of Life
Make the whole life a game. There is no purpose, there is no aim, nothing. Just take it lightly, easily. Play the game. That is worship, that is celebration.
Sacred Secret
Sacredness is the secret of the universe. In the womb of sacredness, creation happens. Consciousness is sacred.
Quick - Meditate
When doubts arise in you: fast, meditate, do pranayam, and do prayers, and see whether the doubt will remain.
Too Much
The same thing which gave you pleasure is now making you suffer. If you are forced to eat twenty apple pies you will hold your head and say, "Oh my God! I want relief from this. I want to get away from this! Enough is enough!"
Life is a vast Ocean
Observe that there is something much more than your "doership." It is like a vast ocean. Life is not just in your body. It is between you and me and everybody else.
The dilemma of ownership
When you see the beauty somewhere, when you fall in love with something, the next impulse that comes in you is to possess it, have it; and, when you have it, it looses all its significance.
When we sing
In every little mind, different, different thoughts come; and different, different moods are there. But, when we sing, what happens? All the minds have the same rythym, the same song, same waves, same frequency, and there is so much more joy.
Seeing God
The future is very comfortable. Glorifying the past is very comfortable. Seeing God now, here, is difficult. Seeing God in yourself is even more difficult
The impersonal made personal
Infinity is available, but not tangible; the Guru is both infinite and tangible. The Divine is impersonal; the Guru is both personal and Divine---the impersonal personified for your benefit.
Limited Senses
Our senses have a limited capacity to enjoy, but the desire in the mind to enjoy is infinite. This is where opposition begins: the mind wants to enjoy, but your body is too tired to enjoy.
Joy that nothing else can give
Dispassion does not take away joy from you. Dispassion gives the joy
that nothing else can give.
that nothing else can give.
One Whole
The entire universe is one whole; and, when someone drops their
holding onto limited boundaries, then what they gain is the entire
universe.
holding onto limited boundaries, then what they gain is the entire

Just Observe
Just observe the nature---how big this world is, how big the universe
is. Nothing is permanent here.
is. Nothing is permanent here.
Become free
Offering all the negativity, you become free. Offering all the
positive virtues you think you possess, you become free.
positive virtues you think you possess, you become free.
really live
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.
here. I am here for you. I am here to make you comfortable." Those are
the moments that you have really lived your life.
Bubbles on the Surface of the Ocean
Rise above the dualities, the opposites. See this whole world as the bubbles on the surface of water. See people as bubbles on the surface of the Brahman, of the Infinity...Water bubbles up, rises up. Like that, everybody is rising and having their own games and plays and dissolving back into the Infinite.
Life Begins
Life begins when we step out of the mind. How do we step out of the small mind? Through samadhi.
Like a child
When you are established in your Self, you are not holding on to concepts. You are loose, free, easy, and open---just like a child.
Ego
As long as there is ego, there is no divine love; and when there is Divine Love, the ego - there is no sign of it.
Heart and Head
When heart speaks and heart listens, harmony is produced. It is always so. When head talks and head listens, argument is produced.
Desires make you weak
Our energy is getting dissipated in the form of fears and desires, fears and desires. And it is the desire that makes you weak.
false promises
This is the nature of sense objects: they promise pleasure to begin with and even give you also a little taste, but then leave you with pain and suffering.
Linking Enthusiasm
When you link your enthusiasm to any thing, then when the object of enthusiasm changes or moves, your enthusiasm also dies. Do you see this?
Perceiving the Existence
When you become very peaceful and quiet, you perceive the Existence. You say, "Oh, this is my nature, this is my true Self. What was I doing---being agitated, yelling, shouting, doing all that stuff?"
