The possibility of doubting shows you the strength of your trust. When
you do not have a chance to doubt, then how do you know how deep is
your trust? You do not know.
Immortal
The Being is immortal, the Consciousness is immortal, the Guru is
immortal, the rishi, maharishi, is immortal. And so also, you are
immortal and eternal.

Space for Attraction
Give some space for attraction. When attraction dies out, you will
feel love has also died. A space is needed for attraction. And that
attraction matures and becomes love; and the love matures and becomes
devotion.

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.

Unless you are "dead" you cannot meditate.
Dropping Past Impressions
When you drop the vasanas, when you drop all these past impressions from the mind, then you become free---right now!
Dissolving Desire
"Want" is always hanging on to the "I." When the "I" itself is
dissolving, "want" also dissolves, disappears
dissolving, "want" also dissolves, disappears
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.

aversions
Your taste is nothing that cannot be changed. Your aversions are that
which bind you, which robs the freedom from you. Stand back and look
at them.
which bind you, which robs the freedom from you. Stand back and look
at them.
silent 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.
words, many questions will come, and answers are given, and many more
questions will come, and more answers will come, and many

Surrender brings Peace
The moment there is surrender there is peace---that very second there is peace.
The Direction of Life
The direction of life is towards one thing: that is love. You be
prosperous and have no love, that prosperity has no value. You are on
spiritual path but you don�t experience, feel the Love, then that
spiritual path is no path, it is very dry: it�s all up
here---intellectual exercises.

underestimate yourself.

the guru. Krishna is inside you; God, the Divine is inside you---have
an inner connection with the Divine.

Life is a Vast ocean
Observe that there is something much more than your "doership." It is
like a vast ocean. Life is not just in your body. It is between you
and me and everybody else.
like a vast ocean. Life is not just in your body. It is between you
and me and everybody else.
Shadows appear big
Shadows appear very big, much bigger than you, but they have no existence.
Smaller the light, bigger the shadow appears. If it is total darkness,
then also there is no shadow. So partial knowledge, a partial light,
partial vision, brings the shadow. And it makes the shadow appear very
huge, very big. But know it is just a shadow.

All Knowledge
In your very nature, in the depth of your mind, there is omnipresence,
omnipotence, omniscience. All knowledge is already in the depth of
your consciousness, of your mind.

Drop all those divisions (of the mind), altogether. This is what is
holding you back from enlightenment. This is what is holding you back
from your very nature. Drop those right now.

Mature Love
Longing, or pain, or hurt is part of love. Experience it, be with it,
go through it---then your love becomes so mature.
go through it---then your love becomes so mature.
Knowing it all
People think---without knowing---that they know. That is a great
danger... A a few books they would have studied, and a few practices
they might have made. They might have met a few people here and there,
may have met a few saints, too. But then they start thinking they know
it all, they have it all. And they start arguing, quoting the
scriptures and arguing. Love cannot blossom in such a situation.

Sacred Secret
Sacredness is the secret of the universe. In the womb of sacredness,
creation happens. Consciousness is sacred.

Unseen Hand
How can we not see this? That everything in the body is happening by
itself. Everything in creation is happening by itself. The flowers are
blossoming, the leaves are becoming green, the petals are becoming
yellow, the sun is rising, setting---how could one be so blind not to
see an "unseen hand" behind this whole creation?

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.

Servant is the real master. Who becomes a master, is one who serves.
God has been serving you day and night. He takes care of every thing
for you.

Beauty
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.

Attend to the Source
When the Source is attended to, all your other abilities flower
automatically, spontaneously.

Freedom
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.
"Oh, I have nothing to do. I am free." But that freedom has no value.
I am not the body
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?

Why are you sad?
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."
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."
Perceiving Existence
When you become very peaceful and quiet, you perceive the Existence.
You say, "Oh, this is my nature, this is my true Self. What was I
doing---being agitated, yelling, shouting, doing all that stuff?"
You say, "Oh, this is my nature, this is my true Self. What was I

What do you believe in?
Do you believe this whole universe is made up of that consciousness?
And your very body, this mind, these thoughts, feelings, everything is
made up of this energy, this one consciousness, this one Self? Huh? Is
this belief strong in your head?

stabilized, it flowers, it blossoms.

Mystery and Miracles
Do not depend on arguments. Mystery is beyond argument, and miracle is
beyond argument. And love is a miracle in life. Enlightenment is a
miracle in life. Joy is a miracle in life.

Upanishads
Sitting close to the Master---that is "Upanishad"--- you catch on to
many things. You catch on to the inexpressible. You catch on something
that is indescribable.
many things. You catch on to the inexpressible. You catch on something
that is indescribable.
Feel the oneness
When you feel so much oneness with the Master that you don�t feel,
�The Master is separate, I am separate; the Divine is separate, I am
separate,� that is Divine Love.
�The Master is separate, I am separate; the Divine is separate, I am
separate,� that is Divine Love.
Erased Karmas
Even in (Sudarshan) Kriya, when you do Kriya, at the end of the Kriya
you get a glimpse of samadhi, for a few seconds, even. Sometimes you
are aware, sometimes you are not aware of it. And at this moment all
the "karmas," the latent impressions in the mind---they all get burned
down and erased.

Intoxication
When people are worried and tense, they go to bars and drink. If they
can only get into satsang and dance, that intoxication can take off
all their worries.

Beauty
Beauty has three levels: indication, expression, and exposure.
Spirituality indicates, art expresses, and science exposes.
Spirituality indicates, art expresses, and science exposes.
Many layers
You think you know the world and "This is it." That is the biggest
problem. This is not just one world; there are many layers in this
world.
problem. This is not just one world; there are many layers in this
world.
You want proof
"Proof" is one of the main things in the world that you are stuck on to---you want proof of everything.Whether someone loves you or not, you want a proof about it.
Angels
They are very jealous of human beings, the angels, because as human being you can experience Divine Love. So they have to be born as human beings in order to become a devotee, in order to experience Divine Love.
making someone guilty
If you make someone feel guilty about their mistake, then you have not forgiven them. That guilt itself is a punishment
Celebration
Celebration happens when the mind unites with the spirit. The mind keeps crying and crying until it finds the spirit! When the mind unites with the spirit then real celebration happens.
Dropping the vasanas
When you drop the vasanas, when you drop all these past impressions from the mind, then you become free---right now!
Infinity
Infinity is available, but not tangible; the Guru is both infinite and tangible. The Divine is impersonal; the Guru is both personal and Divine---the impersonal personified for your benefit
Whirlpool
This consciousness is like a lake. And the inner faculties of the mind are like a whirlpool in there.
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
Who we are
Every one of us has experienced the Divine Love, but we have completely forgotten it. We have no idea who we are, where we are, what we have within us.
The way out of ignorance
The way to come out of ignorance is a definite understanding, a definite knowledge in the mind, that my body is undergoing change all the time, the world is undergoing change all the time, the entire universe is in a state of fluidity and it is all full of change and it is going on on its own, according to its nature.
Dear to God
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
Contentment
Want, or desire, arises when you are not happy. Have you seen this? When you are very happy then there is contentment. "Contentment" means "no want."
Mysteries
This world is a mystery. Love is a mystery. Life is a mystery. Your sleep is a mystery -- and mystery transcends reasoning.
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.
Doubt and Trust
The possibility of doubting shows you the strength of your trust. When you do not have a chance to doubt, then how do you know how deep is your trust? You do not know.
Filled with Honey
Like a honeycomb is all filled with honey, the body -- -all the holes in the body are filled with mind, or consciousness. And the nature of that is joy is Love.
No Way
There is no way---not by any action or by words---that you can ever convince anybody that you really love them. The more we try to do it, the more we are doing the contrary.
Jealousy
You can never feel jealous about yourself, can you? When something is not you, you feel jealous.
Take your pick
You can spend the whole life worrying, grumbling, brooding over things and being miserable, or the same energy could be used to uplift you to unimaginable heights.
Feverishness
When feverishness clogs your head, your mind is not clear; a poetry cannot dawn. If there is feverishness, any creative thought will not come
Enough is Enough
The same thing which gave you pleasure is now making you suffer. If you are forced to eat twenty apple pies you will hold your head and say, "Oh my God! I want relief from this. I want to get away from this! Enough is enough!"
Love is letting go
Love is that phenomenon of dissolving, disappearing, merging, becoming one with. Love is that phenomenon of total letting go.
All Knowledge
In your very nature, in the depth of your mind, there is omnipresence, omnipotence, omniscience. All knowledge is already in the depth of your consciousness, of your mind.
One Whole
The entire universe is one whole; and, when someone drops their holding onto limited boundaries, then what they gain is the entire universe.
Avoiding Bondage
You reject something, but if you reject it without anger it is not bondage; if you reject something with anger, then that is bondage. You receive some, and when you receive: "Oh, oh, oh!" you are excited about it, then that is bondage. Whatever is done with anger or excitement makes a strong impression in the mind and that becomes a bondage.
When we sing
In every little mind, different, different thoughts come; and different, different moods are there. But, when we sing, what happens? All the minds have the same rythym, the same song, same waves, same frequency, and there is so much more joy.
Involvement
Involvement in the seeing of the seer, of the one who sees, getting lost in the scenes outside is the cause for bondage. Not getting lost, the mind is free.
Nectar and Poison
In every breath there is Divine nectar. There is nectar that flows out of it. Or poison can flow.
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
Vasanas
When you tell somebody you love them, make sure you are not saying it out of your "vasanas," your own cravings, your own impressions, your own craving for some joy.
Space for Attraction
Give some space for attraction. When attraction dies out, you will feel love has also died. A space is needed for attraction. And that attraction matures and becomes love; and the love matures and becomes devotion.
The Art 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
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?
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.
Uninterrupted
Uninterrupted sharing---that grows into feeling the presence of the Divine all the time, uninterruptedly
Just Observe
Just observe the nature---how big this world is, how big the universe is. Nothing is permanent here
Is there any end to desires?
All these different desires for experiences, for living, for knowing, they arise and they get fulfilled and they move. Is there anybody who has not fulfilled any desire? Or is there anybody who has fulfilled all the desires? Is there any end for it?
