Restricting Awareness
Divine Love
Divine Love, the ego � there is no sign of it.
Hard to Get
Mysteries of the World
Contentment
When you are very happy then there is contentment. "Contentment" means
"no want."
Expand your world
world is so big! Be open to new experiences.
cycle
getting connected to emotion, getting connected to a sensation---this
becomes a cycle.
Divine Love
knowledge, the knower, and the known, they all merge, become one --
that is Divine Love
Arguing mind
these years---and you want to continue carrying it?
Life Begins
small mind? Through samadhi
Finite and Infinte
totality of consciousness. Living in a finite body and expressing
infinity is the possibility of human life.
Life Begins
small mind? Through samadhi.
Mysteries of the World
unfold it, the more mysterious it becomes. And that is why it is
beautiful.
Mysteries
sleep is a mystery. And mystery transcends reasoning.
beauty
something, the next impulse that comes in you is to possess it, have
it; and, when you have it, it looses all its significance.
Asking Questions
have their own answers. They only want to verify, to get their answer
through your mouth! That is what people are up to.
applause
Dissolving the Ego
Hooked
Wholeness
Faith and Love
"shradhaa"---faith---when there is only "yes" in the mind, when all
the thorns of "no" have been pulled out of the mind and thrown away.
Momentary and Infinite
Your life has been here from thousands of years-from centuries-and
your life will continue to be here for centuries.
Mind is a flame
Take the mind off, your world disappears. Your world is lit and
recognized and felt by the mind. And when mind becomes one whole, it
is sweet, it is melody, it is beauty. If mind is divided, that is
"maya," that is illusion.
How to live
And you will see, that bliss that comes out of it, you cannot even
compare to any other joy through any senses
Really Living
here. I am here for you. I am here to make you comfortable." Those are
the moments that you have really lived your life.
Drop all your hate
place to be in love and joy. Drop all your hatreds.
You can choose
awareness brings in you. If you are not aware, you simply act on the
strongest impulse or strongest thought.
Seeing God
comfortable. Seeing God now, here, is difficult. Seeing God in
yourself is even more difficult
Free Coupon
creation that is devoid of pain. Pain is the tail of everything in the
world. It comes along with anything---you take it, you get a free
coupon: you get pain.
Center Focus
all other things will be around that. Your first and foremost
commitment in life is to be with the Truth, to evolve in Truth.
Nothing to lose
and see you have nothing to lose in the first place! And, even if you
think you have something, how long can you hold on to it?
hankering for the future
the future all the time, then it is not joyful.
Getting Baked
bake you. You are baked in joy, and you are baked in sorrow. You are
baked in this event, and you are baked in that event. So everything in
the world bakes you, heats you up. And if you put your finger deeper
into it, you will get burned. So move lightly.
Uncovering Divine Love
true nature. And what is your true nature? Divine Love.
One pointedness
mind gets into some restlessness to achieve things. But to attain your
Self Realization, your *heart* has to be one-pointed.
Quick, Meditate !
and see whether the doubt will remain.
The Human Body
unconditional love. That is why human body is so precious---because in
this body you have the ability to erase all the unwanted negative
impressions.
Renunciation
It�s an insult to God if you want to renounce this world.
mysterious love
'Govind' means one who has hidden knowledge, or one who cannot be
explained in words, is beyond the words.
Creating Enemies
tongue, by your words---how you speak, what you speak, what you do.
You do this unaware, completely unaware.
Observer the sensation
intensity of that sensation. That very thing which was so unhappy, sad
thing, flips over and you see, "Oh. It is just tantalizing,
stimulating, some sensation." One can even laugh at that painful
event.
Not by doing
would simply say, no. Enlightenment cannot come to you by doing
anything. Impossible. Forget about it. And, if someone says it comes
by doing something, just pity them. They do not know.
Center Focus
all other things will be around that. Your first and foremost
commitment in life is to be with the Truth, to evolve in Truth.
applause
their mind, in their attention, forever? No. You will get big
applause, and they clap, and they go away. And, the same people, some
other time may talk ill of you, too.
meditation
think, "Oh, the world is disappearing, dissolved, dead---I am dead."
Unless you are "dead" you cannot meditate.
Hard to get
begins to happen more. And when it becomes a little difficult to
capture love, possess love, then devotion starts happening. Just
reflect on this.
Every Storm
made you deep and more powerful. Every storm has destroyed some
smallness in you, something in you that has been very small.
Truth
presence of Being---for him success comes easily, follows. Not that he
will not encounter failures. He may encounter failures, but he will
again act.
Stop resisting the storm
gulping it in its totality, going deep into it, you see, it is
nothing: "It is just created out of myself, my mind, my
consciousness."
All that you need
underestimate yourself.
Dissolving Desire
dissolving, "want" also dissolves, disappear
Being Emotional
being emotional is not good, that it is not normal.
Anything can change
field of all probabilities, possibilities.
Is there any end to desires?:
they arise and they get fulfilled and they move. Is there anybody who
has not fulfilled any desire? Or is there anybody who has fulfilled
all the desires? Is there any end for it?
Love and Faith
a lot of love, but I have no faith." It is impossible. Love carries
along with it, faith. And Divine Love [carries] infinite faith.
A point in us
bliss---bliss that can never be taken away from us.
Hollow and Empty
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.
When you are disturbed
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?
Way out of the cycle
the space, I am the Imperishable, untouched, untainted by the
"prakriti," by this world around me; this body is all hollow and
empty, and every particle in this body is changing, and changing, and
changing; the mind is changing and changing and changing---this
definite knowledge is *the* way out of the cycle.
The dilemma of ownership
something, the next impulse that comes in you is to possess it, have
it; and, when you have it, it looses all its significance.
Not Yourself
yourself when you are in a storm.
No arguments
beyond argument. And love is a miracle in life. Enlightenment is a
miracle in life. Joy is a miracle in life.
Hankering for the Future
the future all the time, then it is not joyful.
Whatever you desire
(What is sorrow! Huh? Hanging on to the past.) then whatever you
desire will all be given to you.
No death
nothing but just changing your jackets.
Living the Mystery
understood. But it could be lived in its totality.
The difference between Love and Mediation
God within us.
Stop looking for Proof
Multidimensional Growth
all directions. That is how multi-dimensional growth happens within
you. Fullness of consciousness blossoms in all aspects.
Changing
bake you. You are baked in joy, and you are baked in sorrow. You are
baked in this event, and you are baked in that event. So everything in
the world bakes you, heats you up. And if you put your finger deeper
into it, you will get burned. So move lightly.
Offering
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.
Become Soft
soft; smile there. Any stiffness, life just smoothens it out, evens it
out, in you.
harsh words
mouth to anyone, for the Divine dwells in every heart. Do not hurt
with your words, for the Divine dwells in every heart.
The Dilemma of Ownership
something, the next impulse that comes in you is to possess it, have
it; and, when you have it, it looses all its significance.
Doubt and Trust
you do not have a chance to doubt, then how do you know how deep is
your trust? You do not know.
Immortal
immortal, the rishi, maharishi, is immortal. And so also, you are
immortal and eternal.
Space for Attraction
feel love has also died. A space is needed for attraction. And that
attraction matures and becomes love; and the love matures and becomes
devotion.
Letting Go
think, "Oh, the world is disappearing, dissolved, dead---I am dead."
Unless you are "dead" you cannot meditate.
Dropping Past Impressions
Dissolving Desire
dissolving, "want" also dissolves, disappears
Desire
way it is now, this moment. Desire means projection to the next
moment. Desire simply means being unaware of the Infinity. Desire
simply means you don�t know yourself.
aversions
which bind you, which robs the freedom from you. Stand back and look
at them.
silent communication
words, many questions will come, and answers are given, and many more
questions will come, and more answers will come, and many
questions---it is an endless exercise.
Surrender brings Peace
The Direction of Life
prosperous and have no love, that prosperity has no value. You are on
spiritual path but you don�t experience, feel the Love, then that
spiritual path is no path, it is very dry: it�s all up
here---intellectual exercises.
Do not underestimate yourself
underestimate yourself.
Inner Connection with the Divine
the guru. Krishna is inside you; God, the Divine is inside you---have
an inner connection with the Divine.
Life is a Vast ocean
like a vast ocean. Life is not just in your body. It is between you
and me and everybody else.
Shadows appear big
Smaller the light, bigger the shadow appears. If it is total darkness,
then also there is no shadow. So partial knowledge, a partial light,
partial vision, brings the shadow. And it makes the shadow appear very
huge, very big. But know it is just a shadow.
Life is a Vast ocean
like a vast ocean. Life is not just in your body. It is between you
and me and everybody else.
All Knowledge
omnipotence, omniscience. All knowledge is already in the depth of
your consciousness, of your mind.
Re: What is holding you back
holding you back from enlightenment. This is what is holding you back
from your very nature. Drop those right now.
What is holding you back
holding you back from enlightenment. This is what is holding you back
from your very nature. Drop those right now.
Mature Love
go through it---then your love becomes so mature.
Knowing it all
danger... A a few books they would have studied, and a few practices
they might have made. They might have met a few people here and there,
may have met a few saints, too. But then they start thinking they know
it all, they have it all. And they start arguing, quoting the
scriptures and arguing. Love cannot blossom in such a situation.
Sacred Secret
creation happens. Consciousness is sacred.
Unseen Hand
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?
One pointedness
mind gets into some restlessness to achieve things. But to attain your
Self Realization, your *heart* has to be one-pointed.
The real master
God has been serving you day and night. He takes care of every thing
for you.
Beauty
something, the next impulse that comes in you is to possess it, have
it; and, when you have it, it looses all its significance.
Beauty
something, the next impulse that comes in you is to possess it, have
it; and, when you have it, it looses all its significance.
A Blessing
devoid of feverishness."
Attend to the Source
automatically, spontaneously.
Freedom
"Oh, I have nothing to do. I am free." But that freedom has no value.
I am not the body
the space. I am the Imperishable---untouched, untainted by the
prakriti, by this world around me. This body is all hollow and empty.
And every particle in this body is changing and changing and changing.
The mind is changing and changing and changing." This definite
knowledge is the way out of the cycle. Hm?
Why are you sad?
You�re holding on to the past. The sadness is a memory of the past; a
memory of craving from the past creates sadness now."
Perceiving 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?"
What do you believe in?
And your very body, this mind, these thoughts, feelings, everything is
made up of this energy, this one consciousness, this one Self? Huh? Is
this belief strong in your head?
Honoring Secrets
stabilized, it flowers, it blossoms.
Mystery and Miracles
beyond argument. And love is a miracle in life. Enlightenment is a
miracle in life. Joy is a miracle in life.
Upanishads
many things. You catch on to the inexpressible. You catch on something
that is indescribable.
Feel the oneness
�The Master is separate, I am separate; the Divine is separate, I am
separate,� that is Divine Love.
Erased Karmas
you get a glimpse of samadhi, for a few seconds, even. Sometimes you
are aware, sometimes you are not aware of it. And at this moment all
the "karmas," the latent impressions in the mind---they all get burned
down and erased.
Intoxication
can only get into satsang and dance, that intoxication can take off
all their worries.
Beauty
Spirituality indicates, art expresses, and science exposes.
Many layers
problem. This is not just one world; there are many layers in this
world.

Pleasure and Release
This entire universe is there to give you pleasure and release. Whatever gives you pleasure should also give relief. Otherwise, the very pleasure becomes pain.
shradhaa
Love can just take over you when your mind has become full of "shradhaa"---faith---when there is only "yes" in the mind, when all the thorns of "no" have been pulled out of the mind and thrown away.
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.
Divine Love
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.
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
Asanas ( Yoga Postures )
Anytime you are confused, your mind is in conflict, do asanas, sit in asana. You will see, right away clarity comes. Effect of asana is clearing out of all conflicts, duality.
Open your Eyes.
Open your eyes and see. You think you are in control of a situation---what are you in control of? Where are you? Everything is happening, and you are in God. God is all that is.
Desire
Desire means the present is not sufficient enough, it is not okay the way it is now, this moment. Desire means projection to the next moment. Desire simply means being unaware of the Infinity. Desire simply means you don't know yourself.
Deeper Levels of Mind
To probe into the deeper levels of the subconscious, unconscious mind, your mantra needs to be kept secret.
Mind is a flame
Mind is the flame, and it is the mind that brightens up our world. Take the mind off, your world disappears. Your world is lit and recognized and felt by the mind. And when mind becomes one whole, it is sweet, it is melody, it is beauty. If mind is divided, that is "maya," that is illusion.
committed to Truth
A person who is committed to truth---who is committed to what is, this presence of Being---for him success comes easily, follows. Not that he will not encounter failures. He may encounter failures, but he will again act.
No Rejects
A master is like an ocean. Ocean is there, readily available. It does not reject anybody.
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.
One Pointedness
Not much different
Love and Faith
Love Vs Cravings
Looking Ahead
repose
Desire is hustle and bustle. Desire is agitation, activity. When all that is dropped: peaceful reposing in the innermost core of your Being. Repose---as though you are finished, dead, gone.
poles
These are the poles we swing between: either we are apathetic and dull and inertia bound or we are engaged in a "vasuna" that grips our mind with feverishness, that clouds our whole consciousness.
The Language of Existence
The more "in" you are, the more consolidated you are, in the very core of your Being, the center of your Being, the more you speak the language of the Existence. You do so much good, you do so many wonderful things around you.
Expand Your World
You want proof
"Proof" is one of the main things in the world that you are stuck on to---you want proof of everything.Whether someone loves you or not, you want a proof about it.
Limited Senses, Unlimited Desire
Actually, the real craving of the mind, of the being, is for Divine Love, for unlimited joy. Every sole is craving for unlimited joy, joy which has no boundaries, but senses cannot provide them with what they are searching for through the senses. The capacity to enjoy for our senses is limited. But the desire is unlimited.
Become Free
Before this earth eats you up, become free---free from this feverishness that is gripping your mind, free from this craving for happiness.
Transcendental Prayer
Love Vs Cravings
True love will not bring sadness, sorrow, misery, problems. But with vasanas (cravings) a tail is always attached---pain, problems, misery, discomfort.
Ultimate Relationship
This is the ultimate relationship: when you can relate to yourself one hundred percent. Then, any face you look at---there is love, there is charm, there is beauty.
When you can let go
Regret piles up and piles up and it becomes so big---and you blow up. Do you see this happening to you? When you let go, your mind can be in the present moment, more and more and more and more. You are able to smile and laugh from the depth of your heart. Life becomes more light and easy.
Become Free
Before this earth eats you up, become free---free from this feverishness that is gripping your mind, free from this craving for happiness.
Purpose of Words
The purpose of words, all the words we use, the talking we do, is to create silence and love in our hearts
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.
Love Vs Cravings
True love will not bring sadness, sorrow, misery, problems. But with vasanas (cravings) a tail is always attached---pain, problems, misery, discomfort.
You are not going to Die #2
Though you may feel, " I am going to die; I am old getting old," --- this is superficial. Deep down inside you, you know for sure you are not going to die. You are beyond death.
Bubbling 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.
Manifestations
Wanting to merge
wants something more. It wants to merge. It wants to vanish and disappear. This is what we call love
Drowning in Doubt
All that you need

MatureLove
Longing, or pain, or hurt is part of love. Experience it, be with it, go through it---then your love becomes so mature.

Influencing all levels
When you meditate, you are not just bringing a harmony within yourself, but you are influencing the subtle layers of creation, the subtle bodies of all the different levels of existence in the creation.
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.
Attend to the Source
When the Source is attended to, all your other abilities flower automatically, spontaneously.
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?
Feverishness
When feverishness clogs your head, your mind is not clear; a poetry cannot dawn. If there is feverishness, any creative thought will not come.
Cause of Fear
The transcendental principal, the fourth state of our consciousness, rules over all the other influences of all the planets or cosmic rays. So, if you could meditate, you nullify all the undesirable effects of the cosmic rays, the cosmos. Singing, chanting, meditating can eliminate all those undesirable effects.
Role of Knowledge.
This is the role of knowledge: in knowledge, you smile and laugh at the event. You grow out of the event with the power of knowledge.
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.
When doubts arise...
When doubts arise in you: fast, meditate, do pranayam, and do prayers, and see whether the doubt will remain.
Inner Connection
If you loving...
If you are loving, then you are welcomed everywhere in the world. If you can feel and be one with people anywhere you go, then people are ready to do anything for you.
Repose
Role of Knowledge
This is the role of knowledge: in knowledge, you smile and laugh at the event. You grow out of the event with the power of knowledge.
Pain in Love
Eliminate the Cause
Eliminate the cause, the very root of negativity in us. Instead of rubbing the mind with a positive thought, go deep into yourself through the breath, through meditation, and cleaning the system.
Whirlpool
This consciousness is like a lake. And the inner faculties of the mind are
like a whirlpool in there.
Looking Ahead
Where will we be in 5,000 years? What is going to happen in 5,000 years? Have a bigger plan! In 10,000 years, what is going to happen? Where will you be?
Giving form to Love
Love is there in the whole creation. Everything is Love. But you have never related in your life other than by name and form; you could not love something which has no name or form. The guru embodies---Buddha embodies, Jesus embodies---that infinite Love with name and form.
Love Vs Cravings
True love will not bring sadness, sorrow, misery, problems. But with vasanas (cravings) a tail is always attached---pain, problems, misery, discomfort.
Desire makes 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.
Like a cloud...
In the morning, when you walk, become aware of your infinite nature. You are like the sky. You are infinity. And walk with that infinity nature. Move through this world like a white cloud, unstained, untouched.
Sound and Silence
When you listen, listen to something more. Not just to the sound, but to the silence, too.
Strength is wakefulness
The more you are loaded with desires, the poorer you are, the weaker you are. Strength is wakefulness, and in wakefulness there is no desire. Remember this.
Self Study
By self-study, by observing, by being hollow and empty, you become a channel---you become a part of the Divine. You are able to feel the presence of the Divinity. All the different angels and devas, all these different forms of our consciousness, start blossoming.
Walk Lightly
Walk lightly on this planet. You are here only for a little while. Walk lightly on this planet.
All that is precious...
All that is precious in life is a secret. Love is a secret. Life is a secret. The world is a secret. You feelings, emotions are a secret. You are the biggest secret.
Cause of Fear
The transcendental principal, the fourth state of our consciousness, rules over all the other influences of all the planets or cosmic rays. So, if you could meditate, you nullify all the undesirable effects of the cosmic rays, the cosmos. Singing, chanting, meditating can eliminate all those undesirable effects.
Doing the Practice ( of Yoga, Meditation etc. )
Just like you learn to speak a language. Just like you learn to punch on the computer. Just like you learn to drive a car or a plane, you have to learn to drive back to the Self. This is the saadhana, this is the practice---is something that comes to you not just by nature, but by your effort.
Take your pick
You can spend the whole life worrying, grumbling, brooding over things and being miserable, or the same energy could be used to uplift you to unimaginable heights.
No closeness
Misunderstandings happen on this planet because of distance, because there is no closeness, no one ever "sits next to" the other. In one house people live on different planets. In a town, people live in different galaxies.
There is so much distance, and so there is no understanding.
walls of concepts
Your own concepts have created "walls" and so you need a "door." But when there are no concepts, there are no walls.
when you meditate
When you meditate or when you pray, when you are in the space of vastness, calmness and love, you emit certain vibrations, and these vibrations are not limited to you or your environment. They also touch all those minds or the balloons of souls which are outside your physical reality. Your prayer transcends physical reality and reaches the subtle levels of existence.
Fear
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.
Questions Questions Questions
Much is done in silence. If the communication is just on the level of words, many questions will come, and answers are given, and many more questions will come, and more answers will come, and many questions---it is an endless exercise.
soothing peace
In joy, in peace, in that soothing---very soothing---inner state you will find the happiness.
No more hankering
When your hankering for pleasure ceases, then you get liberation, you experience Enlightenment. When your hankering for Enlightenment also ceases, then you experience Divine Love.
Possessing
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.
This creation
This creation, this very life, is a mystery, and the mystery cannot be understood. But it could be lived in its totality.
Stuck on a Viewpoint
Your bondage is when you have a certain viewpoint and you are stuck with that viewpoint. You have certain ideas, certain concepts how things should be and not always does it coincide with the creation, how things happen. Then you are stuck, you are cooking now, wrestling inside: "What should I do? This is not right! This is not right!"
Is there any end to desires?
All these different desires for experiences, for living, for knowing, they arise and they get fulfilled and they move. Is there anybody who has not fulfilled any desire? Or is there anybody who has fulfilled all the desires? Is there any end for it?
Transforming Pain
When you are unhappy, some tightness happens in your body, observe the intensity of that sensation. That very thing which was so unhappy, sad thing, flips over and you see, "Oh. It is just tantalizing, stimulating, some sensation." One can even laugh at that painful event.
One Whole
Everyone is like one's own finger; everyone is an inseparable part of the Being. There is no separateness; there is no two.... The entire creation is one Whole.
One with Cosmic Mind
When thoughts are constrained and your mind has settled down peacefully in that meditative state, you have become one with the Divine. You are no more your small, little individual self, but you are one with the cosmic life, cosmic Being, one with God.
Stones
Transcendental Prayer
When you meditate or when you pray, when you are in the space of vastness, calmness and love, you emit certain vibrations, and these vibrations are not limited to you or your environment. They also touch all those minds or the balloons of souls which are outside your physical reality. Your prayer transcends physical reality and reaches the subtle levels of existence.
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.
The Angels
They are very jealous of human beings, the angels, because as human being you can experience Divine Love. So they have to be born as human beings in order to become a devotee, in order to experience Divine Love.
Ego
Something that is simple, the mind cannot accept. The ego wants very complicated and difficult things.
Objects and Thoughts
Either we are with the objects of the senses or we are with the thought of the objects of the senses.
overshadowed
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.
Source of all problems
You see, all the problems in the world are created by those who want "perfection."
What people say
Most of the sorrow in the world is because of this: speech -- what people say. If they kept their lips tight, ninety percent of the problems in the world would be over.
Mind is a Flame
Mind is the flame, and it is the mind that brightens up our world. Take the mind off, your world disappears. Your world is lit and recognized and felt by the mind. And when mind becomes one whole, it is sweet, it is melody, it is beauty. If mind is divided, that is "maya," that is illusion.
Events and Existence
When we think about events, events become so big for us---the Existence loses its significance. When Existence becomes dominant in our awareness, events lose their value and significance. Events bring you small joy; Existence brings you the bliss. Events can cause pain and suffering, but Existence can only bring joy and bliss and truth.
Laugh at others' mistakes
When you look at someone else's mistake, you should laugh at it and feel compassionate towards it; then you are able to save your mind.
Walls of Concepts
Your own concepts have created "walls" and so you need a "door." But when there are no concepts, there are no walls.
One Life.
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.
Fame
This feverishness of fame, of pride, of social recognition is immaturity. Just wake up and see there is nothing much in it. It's an empty bowl.
Poles of the mind
These are the poles we swing between: either we are apathetic and dull and inertia bound or we are engaged in a "vasuna" that grips our mind with feverishness, that clouds our whole consciousness.
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.
Sign of Unity
Sign of uniting, or sign of yoga, is coming to your self, your mind settling into your being, your source, with your original nature.
Not Yourself
Life is found to be caught up in storms so very often, and you are not yourself when you are in a storm.
Spreading around
Who we are
Every one of us has experienced the Divine Love, but we have completely forgotten it. We have no idea who we are, where we are, what we have within us.
Worry and Hangings 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."
My mistake
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.
No Death
There is no death for you. Death is nothing but a long sleep. Death is
nothing but just changing your jackets.
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.
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.
What restricts us
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.
Drop Divisons
Drop all those divisions (of the mind), altogether. This is what is holding you back from enlightenment. This is what is holding you back from your very nature. Drop those right now.
