Meditation as mental hygiene

Meditation is a sort of mental hygiene, it keeps you sane. When you are sane then you feel happy and your family is happy.

Divine Vision

​​

"My dream is to see the whole world unite as one family. Shall we all commit to create a wave of happiness and a smile on every face?." 

Observation is the key

Craving never dies by experience---craving or aversion goes only through observation.

No anticipation

Mind that has no hesitation, no anticipation, is meditation

Head and Heart

When heart speaks and heart listens, harmony is produced. It is always so. When head talks and head listens, argument is produced.

Dropping the Craving

Dropping the craving in the mind, or aversion in the mind, for any particular sense objects, strengthens the mind---and only a strong mind can ever experience Divine Love

Power of surrender

The greatest power is in surrender---surrender to the Divine.

Total lack of Wisdom

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.

Untouched

The very purpose for being in this body, for every one of us, is to live and rejoice in that virgin area, that untouched, pure and ever green, blissful area of our Self.

No mind

Mind that becomes No-Mind is meditation.

You are

You are the consciousness

Shradhaa

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.

One sided mistake

There is no one-sided mistake.

Your Nature

Peace is your very nature. Peace is your innate nature---it cannot go away from you.

Changing

Everything in this universe is dynamic. There is nothing that is static.

​ ​

Even the mountains appear to be static, but they are not static, they are

​ ​

all dynamic. Every atom is dynamic in this universe.

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.

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?

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.

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.
