Mysterious Love

When you live in Love, you become so mysterious! That is Govinda. 'Govind' means one who has hidden knowledge, or one who cannot be explained in words, is beyond the words.

Resisting Feelings

Some feeling came into you, unpleasant feeling, and you said, "Should not come, it should not come!" Doing that, you are resisting it. When you resist, it persists. Just observe. See, "Oh!" Go deep into it. Dance, stand up on your feet and dance. Be intoxicated; move intoxicated.

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.

Unending Desires

We are busy wanting something all the time. One want finishes, then another want comes up right away. They are in a queue, you know---like in L.A. airport, one plane behind another. One takes off and within two minutes the other takes off.

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.

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.

Faith and Doing

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.

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.

Worry Vs Freedom

You have nothing to lose. All that you can lose is your tension and your worry, your little-mindedness, fear, and anxiety. And fear and anxiety, tension and worry in the small, little mind will keep the mind from being free, will keep the mind from experiencing its infinite potential, will keep the mind from becoming more powerful on this planet.

Anger is meaningless

Anger is meaningless, because it is always about something that has already passed.

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.

Everything is just a thought

Wake up and realize this is all made up of thoughts, just thoughts, just thoughts. Your appreciation of beauty is a thought, your aversion to an object that is ugly is a thought. Your craving or aversion is nothing but a passing thought in the mind. Realize this is just a thought and you will be free.

100% comfortable

A state in which you feel absolutely comfortable, 100% comfort, that is meditation.

Awakened in Knowledge

Your mind is a flow. Your mind is a continuum that is ever changing, ever changing.

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.

The Ultimate Prerequisite

When there is no peace, forget about God, forget about Truth, forget about Divinity, forget about everything else. The first requirement is peace.

Relationship

Relationship is what? Feeling no separation---I am you, you are me.
You are part of me, I am part of you.

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?

Pleasure and Pain

Freedom from the pleasure is the real pleasure. Pain does not bind you; it is the pleasure that binds you. And the bondage is painful. If you are bound, you are not bound by misery, you are bound by your craving, your pleasure.

Recognize the Divinity

When you move in the world, recognize the Divinity in things around you, in people around you. Listen with your heart.
