When you sit for meditation, are your eyes steady? Is your breath steady? Is the prana haphazard? Is it going smooth and steady or going haphazard? When the senses are steady, the soul also becomes peaceful. Your Being, your spirit inside you, becomes steady.
One Pointedness
To achieve anything in the world your mind has to be one-pointed; the mind gets into some restlessness to achieve things. But to attain your Self Realization, your *heart* has to be one-pointed.
missing devotion
It is very painful---once you have had a taste of devotion, and then the devotion is not there, you feel, "Oh, something is missing!"
Jesus
Jesus is the only way? Jesus is Love-yes, Jesus is the only way. Jesus has many names: he is Buddha, he is Krishna, and he is you. Your name also belongs to Jesus.
Transform Yourself
Living the mystery of life so totally is joy.Becoming the mystery is divine.You are a mystery...

Building Enthusiasm
Just be. Just enthusiasm. When you do an action without a "vasuna," without a latent impression of "I, mine," then you become the embodiment of bubbling enthusiasm. Like small children, three or four month old kids, have you seen them? Very enthusiastic. That enthusiasm is coming out of every cell of the body.
wash your mind
Your clean your windows, you clean your tables, you wash your clothes, but you forget to wash this mind.
Worry and Hanging on
Worry makes you hang on to the past, because worry carries the "doership" in it. And the path of devotion is dropping the "doership."
Craving, Aversion, Feverishness.
It is impossible to be without being with the five senses in the world---but the craving for it should drop. Because every craving or aversion creates a feverishness in the mind, and whenever the mind is in the grip of feverishness it is far away from love.
Duties
Don't think, "I have lots of duties. How will I fulfill my duties!" See, the moment you think something is your duty, there is no beauty in it. Duty, responsibility, becomes a burden, it becomes a bondage on your head. Love the job that you are doing.
Offering
Oh Lord, this whole universe is Yours. This body is Yours. This mind is Yours. The mind with all its conflict is also Yours. The mind with all its beauty is Yours---this offering itself is a technique that brings you back home.
A Wall of Pride
If you want to grow in Divine Love, you have got to drop the pride and all of the artificial wall we build between ourselves and others. In the "wall" we keep judging others, and we think others are judging us.
Set Concepts
We have a set idea about ourself, set concept about ourself, about our likes and dislikes, about our abilities and disabilities, about our own nature. This is what really restricts us. This is what makes us unhappy.
Love Vs Cravings
When you tell somebody you love them, make sure you are not saying it out of your "vasanas," your own cravings, your own impressions, your own craving for some joy.
Joy of Self
All the enlightened masters have declared: the joy of Self---uniting with the Self---is a hundred times more than any other joy.
Unseen hand
How can we not see this? That everything in the body is happening by itself. Everything in creation is happening by itself. The flowers are blossoming, the leaves are becoming green, the petals are becoming yellow, the sun is rising, setting---how could one be so blind not to see an "unseen hand" behind this whole creation?
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
Take life as a Play
Take life not serious. If you take life very serious, then you are bound to be disturbed. The only way you can maintain your equanimity is to take it as a play, as a game, and not take anything too serious.
True Unity
Existing as though you are not, living as though you are not there at all: hollow and empty - pure, empty space - that is when one says, "Let Thy will be done. Let Thy will be done. Let Thy will be done." That is true unity between the little small mind and the infinite mind, the cosmic mind, the universal mind.
Memory
What has happened in our memory, in our mind? A memory or an event getting connected to emotion, getting connected to a sensation---this becomes a cycle.
sit and be with it
Remember those wonderful moments you have had. Sit and be with it. In that very memory your entire Being gets back to that state
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.
Yoga Vs Depression
Yoga is to realize that your mind is dynamic, your life is dynamic. Depression is a sign of static understanding about life. When you feel everything in life is dead, static, there is nothing more, nowhere to go---that is when one gets depressed.
what destroys knowledge
What destroys the knowledge in you is the feverishness. What clouds your awareness and consciousness, your joy, is feverishness.
Senses Lead within
Each of the senses lead you to a point deep inside you that is the fountain of joy. Whether touch, sex, or sight, or music, or smell, or taste---the joy that is coming to you is coming from a source deep within.
