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."
Living the mystery
This creation, this very life, is a mystery, and the mystery cannot be understood. But it could be lived in its totality.
Fleeting Thoughts
Many times, about what you want you are not clear, because you have never looked into yourself. You are swayed away by fleeting thoughts and fleeting emotions, fleeting desires.
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.
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?
Hollow and Empty # 2
Creation is all anxious to fulfill your desire when you become hollow and empty.
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.
Purpose of Words#2
The purpose of words is to create silence. If words create more noise, then they have not reached their goal.
Faith and Dobut
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.
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.
Cause of Fear
Lack of understanding of life causes fear. People are afraid of love, people are afraid of meditation, people are afraid of death, people are afraid of themselves. Ignorance, lack of awareness, is cause of fear. Just a glimpse of the Being, of the Self that you are, that you are beyond death, roots out the fear totally.
Anything can change
When an attraction becomes a little difficult to attain, then love begins to happen more. And when it becomes a little difficult to capture love, possess love, then devotion starts happening. Just reflect on this.

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.
Divine Nectar
In every breath there is Divine nectar. There is nectar that flows out of it. Or poison can flow.
Recognize the Divinity
When you move in the world, recognize the Divinity in things around you, in people around you. Listen with your heart.
multi-dimensional 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.
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.
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.
Small World
Your world is very small. Your world is bundle of your experiences. Have you observed this?
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.
The impersonal made personal
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.
tangible. The Divine is impersonal; the Guru is both personal and
Divine---the impersonal personified for your benefit.
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.
What you are judging
Your own judgement brings the barrier, separates you, makes you behave
so funny. When you are judging, you are judging your own self, but you
are super-imposing it on this, or this, or this, or this, or this.
so funny. When you are judging, you are judging your own self, but you
are super-imposing it on this, or this, or this, or this, or this.
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.
Mistakes out of tension
See how a mistake has happened out of tension. Knowing that a mistake has happened, if you think, "It is *my* mistake," then you are not releasing the tension, you are doubling the tension.
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.
Too much
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.
like when you keep the seed on the surface of the soil, not a little
deep inside, it doesn�t grow.
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.
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.
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.
Cause of Fear
The transcendental principal, the fourth state of our consciousness, rules over all the other influences of all the planets or cosmic rays. So, if you could meditate, you nullify all the undesirable effects of the cosmic rays, the cosmos. Singing, chanting, meditating can eliminate all those undesirable effects.
Linking Enthusiasm
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?
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 walk
In the morning, when you walk, become aware of your infinite nature. You are like the sky. You are infinity. And walk with that infinity nature. Move through this world like a white cloud, unstained, untouched.
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.

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.
concepts. You are loose, free, easy, and open---just like a child.
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.
Stop Judging
Go inside -- go into the kingdom of heaven. And how can you go? You can go only when you become innocent. And how can you be innocent? Stop judging.
become soft
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.
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?
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.
Super Glue
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!
Let me share
Attaining the highest, one never feels, "Oh, I have attained, let me sit back." No, the very nature of the highest joy is to share, is to bring it to everyone.
Celebration happens...
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.

Disagreement
Whether you agree with me or disagree with me, what does it matter to
what is? What is, is

concepts. You are loose, free, easy, and open---just like a child.
Surrender and Freedom
There is no freedom at all without surrender, and when I surrender I get infinite freedom. The greater my surrender is, the greater my freedom, that much the load is taken off of me.
When You are Distubed
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?
Share it with the divine
Whatever feeling is there in you at the moment, whatever feeling, be
with it one hundred percent. Share it with the Divine.
with it one hundred percent. Share it with the Divine.
Stupid Thoughts
t is impossible to know thoughts before they come. You know them as
they come. And, if they are stupid, simply smile at them, laugh at
them, and they will move away.

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.

momentary and infinite
Life is infinite. Though life is in every moment, it is also infinite.
Your life has been here from thousands of years-from centuries-and
your life will continue to be here for centuries.

No Ego in seva (service)
Behind everything is your ego: "I, I, I, I." But in seva there is no
"I," because it has to be done for someone else. It is for the need of
the time, or surrounding people, that you do it.

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

Nature Knows Best
See how many desires you have had, and how many desires were not
fulfilled. And, how many desires you feel this way: when it was not
fulfilled, it was good, �It was best for me.� Don�t you see this? Some
desires which were not fulfilled, it was good for you. So, Nature
knows what is best for you.

Hankering for the Future
When your mind is hankering for the future, continuously planning for
the future all the time, then it is not joyful.

pain and suffering.

Inner connection with the Divine

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

Getting Stuck
For a few moments in our life, we become intense, we become 100%. Our
mind, consciousness, becomes like one integrated glow. And these
moments are very precious things.

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.

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.

that is indescribable.
Craving, Aversion, Feverishness
It is impossible to be without being with the five senses in the
world---but the craving for it should drop. Because every craving or
aversion creates a feverishness in the mind, and whenever the mind is
in the grip of feverishness it is far away from love.

craving and bondage
The craving for sense objects is bondage. Their existence seems to
have given you a little pleasure, so it binds you. Now you crave for
it, and it gives you more and more pain.

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.

Surrender brings peace
The moment there is surrender there is peace---that very second there is peace.
Unlimited Joy
Your mind is not ready for limitations. It wants unlimited joy,
unlimited pleasure---which the five senses cannot give you.
unlimited pleasure---which the five senses cannot give you.
Change
Feelings change, thoughts change, ideas change, body is undergoing changes all the time, but the thirst deep within us is for something that is not changing, that is eternal, that is always, that is the same.
problems
Many problems have come, many problems have been solved, and each problem has enriched life in some way, has brought up some strength in you.
deeper into yourself
The Divine is only waiting for you to dig a little deeper into yourself, that is all.
Mistakes out of tension
See how a mistake has happened out of tension. Knowing that a mistake has happened, if you think, "It is *my* mistake," then you are not releasing the tension, you are doubling the tension.
