what destroys knowledge
Senses Lead within
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.
multi dimensional growth
small world
Your world is very small. Your world is bundle of your experiences. Have you observed this?
worries washed away
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.
Do one thing
If you do one thing---gain perfection in the Being---then everything else gets perfected.
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.
True Love
True love will not bring sadness, sorrow, misery, problems. But with vasanas (cravings) a tail is always attached---pain, problems, misery, discomfort.
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.
Precious secrets
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.
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.
Male and Female
You are made up of both your father and mother; so, within you you have both the characteristics of mother and father, male and female. There are many men who have motherly qualities in them, feminine qualities in them. And then, there are many women who have more male qualities in them. Love is beyond the qualities; Love is beyond male or female. It is not just limited to body or emotions. It is something that transcends all these identifications.
Merging into one.
The seers, the seen, and the process of seeing all merge. The knowledge, the knower, and the known, they all merge, become one -- that is Divine Love.
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.
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.
Repose
Desire is hustle and bustle. Desire is agitation, activity. When all that is dropped: peaceful reposing in the inner-most core of your Being. Repose---as though you are finished, dead, gone.
See a mistake as a mistake
See a mistake as a mistake, not as "my" or "his" mistake. "My" means guilt; "his" means anger.
The cool inner core
When your mind cools down and you experience that cool inner core---that soft and delicate aspect of yourself---a big relief comes.
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.
Letting go
When you sit for meditation, let go of everything. Best way is to think, "Oh, the world is disappearing, dissolved, dead---I am dead." Unless you are "dead" you cannot meditate.
Desire and Distress
Desire and distress go together. Your desire, when it gets fulfilled, gives another desire and another desire. With each desire, distress is simply postponed.
only one
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.
a mistake as a 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.
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.
Dissolving in Love
In Divine love you cease to exist, you dissolve, like a pinch of salt that dissolves in water, a grain of sugar that disappears and dissolves and allows just that Divinity to be there.
who cares?
Who is worried about your status? Nobody. If someone looks at your status, they feel jealousy. Why do you create more jealousy in other people
Cool inner core
When your mind cools down and you experience that cool inner core---that soft and delicate aspect of yourself---a big relief comes.
Shoulds
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.
Abundance is a state of mind
Abundance is a state of mind within you. If you just look at "lack," the lack increases in life.
Pain in Love
There is pain in love because the pain is of the ego; the ego is disappearing, is being destroyed, crushed - and that crushing of ego is painful.
again and again
Again and again, withdraw your mind. If your mind is running all over the place, it is because of the objects of the senses. You want to look at something, or you want to hear about something.
Sense of Purity
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.
Faith and doubt
Faith means what? Purity of the intellect is called "faith." Doubt means what? Split in the mind is called "doubt." What is doubt? Mind is not complete, one whole, it is divided.
expressing love
When we express love too much, then also it disappears, dies out. It?s like when you keep the seed on the surface of the soil, not a little deep inside, it doesn?t grow.
whirlpool
This consciousness is like a lake. And the inner faculties of the mind are like a whirlpool in there.
Desire is a product of sleep
Every desire arises from the sleeping state. Desire is a product of sleep, unconsciousness. Just sleep itself cannot produce desire, but something along with sleep. A spark of beauty, just a spark of beauty in the unconsciousness, creates desire.
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.
Know a Thought as a Thought
Knowing a thought as thought brings the freedom. When you know a thought as a reality, that is when you are stuck.
Action Vs Talk
When something bothers you too much in the mind, you want to talk. This is in between. I tell you, when something bothers you in the mind, get into action---work. You will see that gives a bigger relief.
Bubbles on the sufrace of the infinite
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.
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
Missing Devotion
It is very painful---once you have had a taste of devotion, and then the devotion is not there, you feel, "Oh, something is missing!"
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.
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.
the flow of events
When you see this whole flow of events as temporary, as nonexistent, then, even when someone scolds at you, you smile.
Science and Spirituality
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.
delinking enthusiasm
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?
Craving Aversion and Feverishness
It is impossible to be without being with the five senses in the world---but the craving for it should drop. Because every craving or aversion creates a
feverishness in the mind, and whenever the mind is in the grip of feverishness it is far away from love.
Really live
To your very dear and loved ones, you say this: "If you need me, I am here. I am here for you. I am here to make you comfortable." Those are the moments that you have really lived your life.
honoring Divine Love
likes and dislikes
You think you are an individual "self" with likes and dislikes, and a storm comes into your life, whether you like it or not, and it lashes on you and pulls you out of your likes and dislikes.
Joy / Not Joy
This is what we see in the world today: everyone is moving towards joy, but people are not joyful. They are the opposite---miserable. Because they are clinging on to the sense objects rather than the source of joy.
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.
Really live
To your very dear and loved ones, you say this: "If you need me, I am here. I am here for you. I am here to make you comfortable." Those are the moments that you have really lived your life.
joy and being joyful
This is what we see in the world today: everyone is moving towards joy, but people are not joyful. They are the opposite---miserable. Because they are clinging on to the sense objects rather than the source of joy.
Transorming Feverishness
Attend to every part of your body with honor?all feverishness will be transformed into love.
Offering
Oh Lord, this whole universe is Yours. This body is Yours. This mind 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.
Name and Form
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.
freedom and responsibility
Someone who does not have any responsibility can feel very detached: "Oh, I have nothing to do. I am free." But that freedom has no value.
Nectar and Posion
In every breath there is Divine nectar. There is nectar that flows out of it. Or poison can flow.
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.
Love and Logic
Love is the realm of the unknown, the unknowable, the infinity. Logic pertains to the realm of limitations, observations.
Just Observe
Just observe the nature---how big this world is, how big the universe is. Nothing is permanent here.
Finding Time for Meditation
The more pressed for time you are, the deeper the rest you must take, and the more essential is meditation.
Finding Divine
Love Transformed
The love that you have for objects for people, for things, and places, and items is not different from Divine Love. It?s not opposite to Divine Love... I tell you the same love is transformed, becomes Divine Love.
silence at the peak
Something stunning takes you to silence. Something wonderful---words disappear, you become silent. At the helm of every emotion, at the peak of every happening, there is silence. And recognizing it, manifesting it in our life, you cross the ocean of "samsara," the ocean of misery.
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.
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.
forget to forgive
Forgetfulness is one of the greatest blessings. If you remember all that people did in the past, never forget, you will never forgive also
space
When you give a space, the longing in you increases, whether it is for your spouse, or for God, or for Guru---whatever. And when there is longing, your love becomes really strong, powerful, unshakable.
Fleeting thoughts
Many times, about what you want you are not clear, because you have never looked into yourself. You are swayed away by fleeting thoughts and fleeting emotions, fleeting desires.
again and again
Coming back to the center, to the Seer, this moment---again and again and again---is abhyasa.
attractions and aversions
Do not get stuck up in any attractions around, and do not get stuck up in any aversions around. Then you cannot come to me, you cannot hear me, you cannot be with me at all.
levels of communication
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.
compartments in your mind
You have got big compartments in your mind, innumerable compartments made in your mind. So, you immediately put everything, your experiences in life, into compartments. You make concepts and get stuck there.
craving creates sadness
Why are you sad? Why are you sorrowful? It?s because of your craving. 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."
