When you blossom from within you, then your relationship will also blossom.
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.
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.
Status
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
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.
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.
Addictions or Vasanas
Limited attraction, small attractions here and there---smell, touch, taste, sight---these are called the "vasunas." The five senses draw you into small, limited awareness, and not only just enjoying that, but you get entangled in the mind, thinking about it all the time.
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.
True Knowledge
You can stay with me, but you can pass out of this life without even knowing me---without knowing the "I," the big "I."
True Unity
Existing as though you are not, living as though you are not there at all: hollow and empty - pure, empty space - that is when one says, "Let Thy will be done. Let Thy will be done. Let Thy will be done." That is true unity between the little small mind and the infinite mind, the cosmic mind, the universal mind.
Faith and Doubt
Faith brings totality in you. It pulls together all the loose ends of your consciousness. It integrates your whole personality. Doubt scatters you. Doubt destroys you.
"See, ninety percent of this body is only space,and space, and space. And what is in this space? That is mind, that is consciousness, that is intelligence. Like a honeycomb. Honeycomb is all filled with honey. Like this in the body---all the holes in the body are filled with mind, or consciousness. And the nature of that is joy, is Love."
Who cares?
Who is worried about your status? Nobody. If someone looks at your status, they feel jealous. Why do you create more jealousy in other people?
Compliments and Insults
See the nature of mind: if there are ten good qualities and one negative, the mind clings on to that one negative. Ten compliments and one insult, the mind will forget all the ten compliments. It hangs on to the one insult and goes on and on and on about it.
Glorifying the past
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
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?
small world
Your world is very small. Your world is bundle of your experiences. Have you observed this?
soothing peace
In joy, in peace, in that soothing---very soothing---inner state you will find the happiness.
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
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.
True Knowledge
You can stay with me, but you can pass out of this life without even knowing me---without knowing the "I," the big "I."
Go deep into the sadness
If some sadness arises---"oh, I feel a little sad"---go deep into the sadness, and you will see that very sadness is nothing but longing, and that very longing---the tears of longing---is nothing but love, and love is nothing but gratefulness, and gratefulness is nothing but your very Being.
jealousy
You can never feel jealous about yourself, can you? When something is not you, you feel jealous.
Missing the Boat
Behind every misery, there is a hope. The fuel for miserable people is hope... Foreseeing happiness sometime in the future, makes one miserable right now. Having desire for some pleasure in the future, either in the world or in heaven, one misses the boat.
Disagreement
Whether you agree with me or disagree with me, what does it matter to what is? What is, is
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.
Stop Resisting the Storm
The storm is also part of Nature. Stop resisting the storm. Taking it,
gulping it in its totality, going deep into it, you see, it is
nothing: "It is just created out of myself, my mind, my
consciousness."

nothing: "It is just created out of myself, my mind, my

The Mysteries of the World
The mysteries of this world can never be fully unfolded. The more you unfold it, the more mysterious it becomes. And that is why it is beautiful.
True Knowledge
You can stay with me, but you can pass out of this life without even
knowing me---without knowing the "I," the big "I."
knowing me---without knowing the "I," the big "I."
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.
something, the next impulse that comes in you is to possess it, have
it; and, when you have it, it looses all its significance.
Bubbles on the surface 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.

Hope for every soul
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.
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.
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.
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.
Eliminating Doubt
Doubt is that state of mind where it is not fully alive. Answers cannot satisfy doubt. Hearing, seeing cannot eliminate doubt. Only prana can eliminate doubt.
Sacred Secret
Sacredness is the secret of the universe. In the womb of sacredness, creation happens. Consciousness is sacred.
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.
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.
What is holding you back
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.
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.
Relax, Be Peaceful
There is some power, someone who is really caring for you---not just someone: there is only One in the whole universe. That One in the Universe is caring and taking care. Relax; just be peaceful.
False Promises
The mind has promised you heaven, but it is taking you to hell. You have been chasing the mind; you're trodding behind it. It increases the hunger and thirst in you by giving a little glimpse of joy here and there.
Anything but present
Man finds comfort in the past or in the future, never looks into the present. It has been an old habit, very old habit, of the human mind. Either it glorifies the past and relishes itself in the memory of past, or it builds castles in dreams, in clouds, for the future.
Conditional Love
We try to hold on to people. Even when we love, we love with a condition: "See, I love you, so in return you must love me."
After Sudarshan Kriya Yoga
After kriya (yoga), 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.
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.
What is Love
Love is that phenomenon of dissolving, disappearing, merging, becoming one with. Love is that phenomenon of total letting go.
Effect of Asanas (Yoga 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.
Ego and Divine Love
As long as there is ego, there is no Divine Love; and when there is Divine Love, the ego---there is no sign of it.
Seer, Seen and the Process of seeing.
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.
How to enjoy
We want to enjoy, but we do not even know how to enjoy. This is the whole problem. There is a way to enjoy, also. The rishis are not against anyone living in the world.
Mysteries
This world is a mystery. Love is a mystery. Life is a mystery. Your sleep is a mystery. And mystery transcends reasoning.
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?

Transforming pain
When you are unhappy, some tightness happens in your body, observe the
intensity of that sensation. That very thing which was so unhappy, sad
thing, flips over and you see, "Oh. It is just tantalizing,
stimulating, some sensation." One can even laugh at that painful event
intensity of that sensation. That very thing which was so unhappy, sad
thing, flips over and you see, "Oh. It is just tantalizing,
stimulating, some sensation." One can even laugh at that painful event
Abiding in the seer
Whenever you experience joy, ecstasy, bliss, happiness in life, knowingly or unknowingly you are abiding in the form of the Seer, in the nature of the Seer. Otherwise, at other times you are with different activities of the mind. You become one with different activities of the mind.
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.
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.
Uncovering Divine Love
To uncover is enlightenment. Uncover what? Your true identify, your true nature. And what is your true nature? Divine Love.
A Wall of Pride
If you want to grow in Divine Love, you have got to drop the pride and all of the artificial wall we build between ourselves and others. In the "wall" we keep judging others, and we think others are judging us

If you want to grow in Divine Love, you have got to drop the pride and all of the artificial wall we build between ourselves and others. In the "wall" we keep judging others, and we think others are judging us.
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.
maturing intellect
When the intellect starts maturing, it starts questioning the source of creation.
sound of silence
When you listen, listen to something more. Not just to the sound, but to the silence, too.
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.
Inner connection with the Guru
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.
Love also creates pain
Love also creates pain---tremendous amount of pain. Separation creates pain---tremendous amount of pain. A want, a wish creates a tremendous amount of pressure on the mind.
Niranjana
Events cannot stick on to you. You are like the pure crystal. Niranjanah---untouched, unstained by anything.
Applause
If ten thousand people applaud you---so what? You think you will be in
their mind, in their attention, forever? No. You will get big
applause, and they clap, and they go away. And, the same people, some
other time may talk ill of you, too.

applause, and they clap, and they go away. And, the same people, some

Disagreement

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.
Future
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
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.
mouth to anyone, for the Divine dwells in every heart. Do not hurt
with your words, for the Divine dwells in every heart.
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.
Go deep into sadness
If some sadness arises---"oh, I feel a little sad"---go deep into the
sadness, and you will see that very sadness is nothing but longing,
and that very longing---the tears of longing---is nothing but love,
and love is nothing but gratefulness, and gratefulness is nothing but
your very Being.
sadness, and you will see that very sadness is nothing but longing,
and that very longing---the tears of longing---is nothing but love,
and love is nothing but gratefulness, and gratefulness is nothing but
your very Being.
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.
Highest Blossoming
What is the highest blossoming of consciousness? That consciousness which is neither in the past nor in the future nor in the present, but is a witness to all three. Or you can say, that consciousness which contains the infinite past, the infinite future, and is totally available in the present moment.
Arguing Mind
Look at this arguing mind. This is what you have been carrying all these years---and you want to continue carrying it?
Faith
Do anything---if there is no shradhaa (faith), nothing is going to benefit you. And if you do nothing and there is shradhaa, that itself becomes
saadhana for you, becomes a practice.
Beyond Birth and Death
There is something in you that is beyond death. And that is before birth, also.
Dissolving Desire
"Want" is always hanging on to the "I." When the "I" itself is 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.
Become free
Offering all the negativity, you become free. Offering all the positive virtues you think you possess, you become free.
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
Like a Child
When you are established in your Self, you are not holding on to concepts. You are loose, free, easy, and open---just like a child.
