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.
Remembering and Re-living
There is a difference between remembering and re-living. Re-living is something else. You become alive again
Unlimited Joy
Your mind is not ready for limitations. It wants unlimited joy, unlimited pleasure---which the five senses cannot give you.
Every Storm
Every storm that has come into your life has widened your horizon, has made you deep and more powerful. Every storm has destroyed some smallness in you, something in you that has been very small.
Pain in the mind
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.
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.
Maintaining Equanimity
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.
Problems have enriched your life
Many problems have come, many problems have been solved, and each problem has enriched life in some way, has brought up some strength in you.
Destiny and Free Will
Take the past as destiny and the future as free will. What was meant to happen, happened. We tend to do the reverse. People who are foolish think the past is free will and the future is destiny. This only makes you miserable in the present.
infinite nature
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.
Intense Joy
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.
Inside You
Krishna is inside you; God, the Divine is inside you---have an inner connection with the Divine.
Heart and Head
When heart speaks and heart listens, harmony is produced. It is always so. When head talks and head listens, argument is produced.
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.
Perfect Balance
Life needs to be a perfect balance between sound and silence, between dynamic activity and stillness, between being funny and jovial, and then being serious. If one aspect is missing, life is incomplete. If you are only serious, and not funny, then it's not complete. If you are only funny, you become superficial. You are not deep. Silence is our ability to switch between them, this is most important.
compassion
When there is a wound deep inside a person, he will try to share that with other people. What else can he do? You just recognize: "Oh, he needs compassion." Compassion is the only medicine. Unconditional love is the only treatment.
Destroying Sins
A few moments of the experience of Divine Love can destroy all the sins, all the guilt, all the negativity---not only in and around the person, but all over.
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.
The company one keeps
...You are not a computer. But we have been given the understanding
that being emotional is not good, that it is not normal.
that being emotional is not good, that it is not normal.
How to Live
Live as though you are nobody. Live as though you are a glow of light, and you will see, that bliss that comes out of it. You cannot even compare to any other joy through any senses.
feverishness and creativity
When feverishness clogs your head, your mind is not clear; a poetry cannot dawn on that. If there is feverishness, any creative thought will not come.
False Promises
This is the nature of sense objects: they promise pleasure to begin with and even give you also a little taste, but then leave you with pain and suffering.
Feverishness and Creativity
When feverishness clogs your head, your mind is not clear; a poetry cannot dawn on that. If there is feverishness, any creative thought will not come.
100% comfortable
A state in which you feel absolutely comfortable, 100% comfort, that is meditation.
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.
Enlightenment
To uncover is enlightenment. Uncover what? Your true identify, your true nature. And what is your true nature? Divine Love
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.
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.
Blossom or Suffocate
Seva is just an expression for our inner love. The love in us blossoms and it has to flow out and express itself. Otherwise it is suffocating inside.
My mistake
hen 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.
being against others
If you are against someone, you have no freedom from them. If you find fault in someone, and your mind is set against them, know that you are stuck with them, glued with them! Super glue!
Disagreement
Whether you agree with me or disagree with me, what does it matter to what is? What is, is
Different Kinds of tears
Devotion is very beautiful. A student comes to a master, a teacher, a guru, with tears in his eyes, there is so much problems. And when he leaves he carries the same tears, but the quality of the tear is different; it�s of gratitude. Still tears flow, but they are of gratitude, of love.
Worries Washed Away
You can do this as an experiment: when you are very worried or tense, just sit by a flowing river or gushing water and just keep looking at the water. You know, within few moments you feel as though like a magnetic pull, that your mind is being pulled in the direction of the flow of water...and in a short while all that anguish, delusion, whatever you had, [with] the flowing water it all flows away. You become fresh.
