Drowning in Doubt
When self doubt comes, behind that come the doubts about the techniques, about your path. And when these two doubts come, the third doubt comes: "Am I in the right place? Is this the right teacher?" Doubt about the teacher follows the first two. And these three doubts drown you down.
All that you need
You are total. You are full. You have all that you need. Do not underestimate yourself.
no loss no gain
The mere presence of the sun brings all the activity in the world. In the same way, your mere presence is a service, is the goal. There is no gain, no loss, no purpose, no defeat
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.
God and Devotees
God is all over. God is in the stone. God is in the flowers. God is in the garbage can. God is all over, but devotee is not all over. So God runs behind His devotees. To God, devotees are very dear, so dear.
MatureLove
Longing, or pain, or hurt is part of love. Experience it, be with it, go through it---then your love becomes so mature.
Niranjanah
Events cannot stick on to you. You are like the pure crystal. Niranjanah---untouched, unstained by anything.
Ego
Behind everything is your ego: "I, I, I, I." But in seva there is no "I," because it has to be done for someone else. It is for the need of the time, or surrounding people, that you do it.
Getting Stuck
For a few moments in our life, we become intense, we become 100%. Our mind, consciousness, becomes like one integrated glow. And these moments are very precious things
After kriya
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
Still more doubt
In order to trust, you must first understand your doubt. You doubt yourself, and you doubt people around you. And then you doubt in the existence of God.
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
Set concepts
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
Simplicity
Something that is simple, the mind cannot accept. The ego wants very complicated and difficult things
Like Attracts Like
In the realm of mind, like attracts like. If the soul is peaceful, then it attracts peaceful environment and people around it.
One or the other
Awareness, if it is not controlled by joy and bliss, will only bring irritation and anger
Divinity around you
When you move in the world, recognize the Divinity in things around you, in people around you. Listen with your heart
cause of 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
Sprititual Knowldge and Science
All possible advancements in any field you see today, either science or arts, originated as a thought, originated in that ocean of Intelligence.People talk about "science meeting spirituality" or "spirituality coming together with science" this is such an immature, childish statement. Spiritual knowledge *is* science. And science can never be away from spiritual knowledge. Because, spirit alone can bring the science up. They are two sides of the same coin.
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.
