When your mind cools down and you experience that cool inner core---that soft and delicate aspect of yourself---a big relief comes.

Do not speak any harsh word. Let not any harsh word come out of your mouth to anyone, for the Divine dwells in every heart. Do not hurt with your words, for the Divine dwells in every heart.
When you sit for meditation, let go of everything. Best way is to think, "Oh, the world is disappearing, dissolved, dead---I am dead." Unless you are "dead" you cannot meditate.
Desire and distress go together. Your desire, when it gets fulfilled, gives another desire and another desire. With each desire, distress is simply postponed.
You think there are two people existing in this world. You think there are
two lives; in fact it is wrong. There is only one Life and one Self, one
Soul.
When you recognize a mistake as mistake, but not as "my" mistake, your guilt will not be there. You see "Oh, this is a mistake---whether it is by me or someone else---this is a mistake that needs rectification." Your mind is lighter, it is not stiff. It is not loaded with tension.
You have just been overshadowed by the events in your mind---that is all that has happened. A cloud has covered the sun. What can any cloud do to the sun? Can it destroy it? Remember your nature. You are the only Soul, only Being.
In Divine love you cease to exist, you dissolve, like a pinch of salt that dissolves in water, a grain of sugar that disappears and dissolves and allows just that Divinity to be there.
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

Your concept in the mind that things should be a certain way causes pain in the mind. The cause of distress is set concepts in the mind.
Abundance is a state of mind within you. If you just look at "lack," the lack increases in life.
There is pain in love because the pain is of the ego; the ego is disappearing, is being destroyed, crushed - and that crushing of ego is painful.
Again and again, withdraw your mind. If your mind is running all over the place, it is because of the objects of the senses. You want to look at something, or you want to hear about something.
After kriya, many people feel so pure and so clear, so complete, because the consciousness, which was stuck in the matter, material, which is foreign to itself, got released from that and came back to its home. That is the sense of purity, feeling of purity.
Faith means what? Purity of the intellect is called "faith." Doubt means what? Split in the mind is called "doubt." What is doubt? Mind is not complete, one whole, it is divided.
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.
This consciousness is like a lake. And the inner faculties of the mind are like a whirlpool in there.
Every desire arises from the sleeping state. Desire is a product of sleep, unconsciousness. Just sleep itself cannot produce desire, but something along with sleep. A spark of beauty, just a spark of beauty in the unconsciousness, creates desire.
Lack of understanding of life causes fear. People are afraid of love,
people are afraid of meditation, people are afraid of death, people are
afraid of themselves. Ignorance, lack of awareness, is cause of fear. Just
a glimpse of the Being, of the Self that you are, that you are beyond
death, roots out the fear totally.
Knowing a thought as thought brings the freedom. When you know a thought as a reality, that is when you are stuck.
