Looking for proof

Constantly you are looking for proof of something. This is one mode of
activity. Yoga is when you drop this. Then alone you can abide in the
Self.

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.

hollow and empty

You become a perfect instrument of the Divine when you become hollow and empty.

God is not

God is not the object of sight; you can never see God. God is not an object of hearing. God is not an object of smelling or tasting. God cannot be perceived through your senses, nor through the mind.

arms open

Stand there with your arms open and say, "What storms may come--let them. I am here." You grow out of them. You become bigger.

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.

Surprises

Nature loves to give you surprises. God loves fun. He always gives you surprises---sometimes pleasant, sometimes unpleasant. And you grow by unpleasant as well as by pleasant. In fact you grow much more by unpleasant surprises than the pleasant ones.

totally responsible

Your worries, your feelings, your thoughts arise in your own mind. You are totally responsible for all your feelings---how you feel, what you think, what you do---all that. You are responsible.

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.

Looking for proof

Constantly you are looking for proof of something. This is one mode of activity. Yoga is when you drop this. Then alone you can abide in the Self.

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.

Already connected

When we get in touch with the source of life, then all of other tensions, worries which have been clouding this manifestation, fall off and we can sing, dance, and be happy. Life can become very intense, intense in the sense of being joyful.

Uncovering Divine Love

To uncover is enlightenment. Uncover what? Your true identify, your true nature. And what is your true nature? Divine Love.

Resistence is futile

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

ego

"Ego" means "I am. I am somebody." But beyond ego is Being.
