Bhajan

This word "bhajan" is very precious. "Bhaj" means "to share." Sharing what? Sharing all that the Divine is

ever changing

Your mind is a flow. Your mind is a continuum that is ever changing, ever changing.


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.


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.


Recognize the Divinity

When you move in the world, recognize the Divinity in things around you, in people around you. Listen with your heart.


Awakened in Knowledge

For one who has awakened in knowledge, there is no more suffering.


dropping past impressions

When you drop the vasanas, when you drop all these past impressions from the mind, then you become free---right now!


harsh words

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.


whatever you want

Whatever you want for others will happen to you.


Seeing God

You can live God. You can be God. But you cannot "see" God, perceive God as an object.


Remember your nature

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.


Inner Union with the Divine

Guru is inside you. Have an inner union with the guru. Inside, be with the guru. Krishna is inside you; God, the Divine is inside you---have an inner connection with the Divine.


Three levels of Beauty

Beauty has three levels: indication, expression, and exposure. Spirituality indicates, art expresses, and science exposes.


flash of surrender

Sometimes on a dark night if there is lightning, that second you see the whole town. Everything becomes visible, even for a few moments. Like that, surrender happens in deep meditation.


slaps in life

In life, any time you become stiff---and there you get a slap! Become soft; smile there. Any stiffness, life just smoothens it out, evens it out, in you.


more than coming close

Soul is not satisfied just by the physical body coming closer. It wants something more. It wants to merge; it wants to vanish and disappear. This is what we call "love."


Drop the past

Now. Now. Now. Cultivate this habit of dropping the past. Then you can smile.


Effect of Asanas (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.


Total Lack of Wisdom

Mindless violence is prevalent in the world. In the name of country, in the name of religion, in the name of race. This is absolute nonsense! This is total lack of viveka, total lack of wisdom.


The Way out

This definite knowledge that, "I am not the body. I am the Self. I am
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?

Human Body

There is hope for every soul, for every human being, to live
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.

Gossip

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.

Holding On

If you are holding on to stones in your hands, your hands will not be
free to take the diamonds and gold.

Tragic Cycle

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.

Disagreement

Whether you agree with me or disagree with me, what does it matter to
what is? What is, is.

One-sided mistake

There is no one-sided mistake.

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.

Getting Baked

Everything is changing. And this is all there only to heat you up, to
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.

The Divine Loves You

The Divine loves you very dearly, and in all manners, in all respects.


Mutli-dimensional growth

If you are just enthusiasm, it can be directed in anything, anywhere, all directions. That is how multi-dimensional growth happens within you. Fullness of consciousness blossoms in all aspects.


Flash of Surrender

Sometmes on a dark night if there is lightning, that second you see the whole town. Everything becomes visible, even for a few moments. Like that, surrender happens in deep meditation.


Blaming the Divine

Anything you blame in this creation, you are blaming the Divine.

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.

Surrender brings peace

The moment there is surrender there is peace---that very second there is peace.


Power of silence

Words cannot capture existence, but silence can.

Spreading around

You sit and think; you sit and feel. Do you think that feeling just remains with you? It reaches far beyond this universe. Your intentions, your feelings get spread much faster than the radiation. It is spread all over this globe and far, far beyond.

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.

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.

silly little desire

What makes you weak? Your desire---silly little desire.

Let me share

Attaining the highest, one never feels, "Oh, I have attained, let me sit back." No, the very nature of the highest joy is to share, is to bring it to everyone.

Hard to get

When an attraction becomes a little difficult to attain, then love begins to happen more. And when it becomes a little difficult to capture love, possess love, then devotion starts happening. Just reflect on this.

Look at What you have

Just look at what you have. Focus on it---because where you put your energy that increases in life.

Hankering for the future

When your mind is hankering for the future, continuously planning for the future all the time, then it is not joyful.

Seeing God

You can live God. You can be God. But you cannot "see" God, perceive God as an object.

The Gift of Giving

When you give things to people, it brings back something to you---that is some good vibrations. And that makes you happy. If you are very unhappy, and that day you give something, give some gifts to somebody who is needy, you will see your consciousness will change, shift.

Resitence is futile

The more you resist thoughts, the more they bombard your mind.

This Universe


This universe is very dynamic. Nothing is static here. What appears to be static is an illusion. Everything is dynamic. Everything is moving, growing, changing, changing, constantly changing.

Meditation and Death

Meditation is very similar to this experience of void. In meditation you realize you are not just the body, but you are more than the body. That annihilates the fear of death.

Divine Love

It has become a need for you to experience that the Divine, God, loves you so dearly. Though He has told you in so many ways with the flowers and with the birds, with the clouds, with the rain, and with all the friends and folks and relatives, still one is unable to experience the Divininty. So the Divine itself takes the form of a saint, a maharishi, guru, or master.

In the present

Mind in the present moment is meditation.

harsh words

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.

meditation and death


Meditation is very similar to this experience of void. In meditation you realize you are not just the body, but you are more than the body. That annihilates the fear of death.

Holding On

If you are holding on to stones in your hands, your hands will not be free to take the diamonds and gold.

What is Love

Love is that phenomenon of dissolving, disappearing, merging, becoming one with. Love is that phenomenon of total letting go.

You Mind

Your mind is a flow. Your mind is a continuum that is ever changing, ever changing.

However it is

Your life, itself, is a celebration of the Infinity, the Divine---however it is.

Linking enthusiasm to things

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?

Be Aware

Be joyful, and at the same time, be totally aware.

Technique for Depression

There is a technique to get depressed -- you want to know? Just sit and think only about yourself: "What about me? What about me?" I tell you, you will get thoroughly depressed.

You are

You are the consciousness

Giving form to unbounded 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.

Gossip

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.

When you walk

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.

Relationships

When you blossom from within you, then your relationship will also blossom.

sorrow

Sorrow needs to be lived through and gotten rid of. It should not be suppressed.

Spreading around

You sit and think; you sit and feel. Do you think that feeling just remains with you? It reaches far beyond this universe. Your intentions, your feelings get spread much faster than the radiation. It is spread all over this globe and far, far beyond.

The Secret of Joy

You are the source of joy.

Love and Faith

Love transcends logic. Love depends on faith. You cannot say, "I have a lot of love, but I have no faith." It is impossible. Love carries along with it, faith. And Divine Love [carries] infinite faith.
