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.
Incomplete and Infinite
Love is incomplete. And it will have to remain incomplete. If it completes, it finds an end. Whatever is completed, whatever is full, total, that means you have marked the boundaries, you have found its limitations. For love to be infinite, it has got to be incomplete. Whatever is incomplete is infinite.
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.
When something bothers you
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.
meditation
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.
Successful failures
When the big Mind wins over the small, even the failure of the small
mind is a joy. It has always happened that way. Turn back and
see---some of your failures have been very good. They have made you
progress somewhere, made you stronger.
mind is a joy. It has always happened that way. Turn back and

Honoring Secrets
When you honor a secret, you mind does not jump forward, it is stabilized, it flowers, it blossoms.
Expression of Self
The entire universe is just an expression, projection, of the Being, of the Self.
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.
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.
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
The Human Body
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.
Disagreement
Whether you agree with me or disagree with me, what does it matter to what is? What is, is
Restricting Awareness
One single thought in the mind can restrict your awareness, the totality of awareness. How big is your mind? How vast is your life? There are so many things in life. One small, insignificant thought, insignificant thing, can clog and cloud your whole awareness.
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.
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?
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.
no going back
For every step, the previous phase has to be disolved. One phase disolves to give space for another, and it is always evolutionary. So there is no reverting back, no reversing---it is evolutionary. It can stop for a while, but then it continues.
"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."
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
upanishad
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.
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.
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.
Beyond Logic
The solution exists before the problem...The Light works beyond logic. Answers come from unexpected places. But the solution exists. .. from Kabbalah
The Human Body
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.
Feverishness blocks love
Desire is that feverishness which blocks the mind. As long as there is feverishness, there is no Love
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
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.
sleep, unconsciousness. Just sleep itself cannot produce desire, but
something along with sleep. A spark of beauty, just a spark of beauty

God Loves Fun
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.
memory
What has happened in our memory, in our mind? A memory or an event getting connected to emotion, getting connected to a sensation---this becomes a cycle.
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.
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.
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?
Repose
Desire is hustle and bustle. Desire is agitation, activity. When all that is dropped: peaceful reposing in the innermost core of your Being. Repose---as though you are finished, dead, gone.
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.
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.
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.
when something bothers you
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.
What restricts us
We have a set idea about ourself, set concept about ourself, about our likes and dislikes, about our abilities and disabilities, about our own nature. This is what really restricts us. This is what makes us unhappy.
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.
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.
mindless violence
Mindless violence is prevalent in the world. In the name of country, in the name of religion, in the name of race. This is absolute nonsense! This is total lack of viveka, total lack of wisdom.
Mutlidimensional growth
If you are just enthusiasm, it can be directed in anything, anywhere, all directions. That is how multi-dimensional growth happens within you. Fullness of consciousness blossoms in all aspects.
Inner connection with the Divine
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.
maturing intellect
When the intellect starts maturing, it starts questioning the source of creation.
thought waves
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.
When you are disturbed
Do you do this? Any day that you are disturbed, instead of yelling and
screaming and shouting at other people here and there, blaming other
people, have you ever said, "Oh, I want to do more chanting, and let
me sit. Today I feel disturbed so let me go and love more people
around me." Have you ever done that?

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
What is Love?
Love is that phenomenon of dissolving, disappearing, merging, becoming one with. Love is that phenomenon of total letting go.w
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.

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.
