There is no Divinity without beauty; there simply cannot [be]. Divinity is nothing but energy, divine energy, and [the] expression of beauty.
God is not
God is not the object of sight; you can never see God. God is not an object of hearing. God is not an object of smelling or tasting. God cannot be perceived through your senses, nor through the mind.
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.
No gain, no loss
The mere presence of the sun brings all the activity in the world. In the same way, your mere presence is a service, is the goal. There is no gain, no loss, no purpose, no defeat.
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.
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.
Faith and Doubt
Faith means what? Purity of the intellect is called "faith." Doubt means what? Split in the mind is called "doubt." What is doubt? Mind is not complete, one whole, it is divided.
Walls of Concepts
Your own concepts have created "walls" and so you need a "door." But when there are no concepts, there are no walls.
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.
Connected to the Present Moment
Dispassion does not divide you; in fact, it connects you. It connects you to the present moment so totally, so you can be 100% in anything you do.
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.
Bhajan
This word "bhajan" is very precious. "Bhaj" means "to share." Sharing what? Sharing all that the Divine is.
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.
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.
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.
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."
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.
Mental Pain
Your concept in the mind that things should be a certain way causes pain in the mind. The cause of distress is set concepts in the mind.
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.
Really Live
To your very dear and loved ones, you say this: "If you need me, I am here. I am here for you. I am here to make you comfortable." Those are the moments that you have really lived your life.
Small World
Your world is very small. Your world is bundle of your experiences. Have you observed this?
Every inch filled with Bliss
For one who has awakened in knowledge, there is no more suffering. The world appears completely different. For him every inch of this creation is filled with bliss, is a part of the Self.
Space
"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."
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.
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.
chance of losing
A game is where you win and you lose, and both are part of it. When there is more chance of losing, it is more charming. The game has value when it is tough. So some little problems that come in life are part of the whole game.
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?
100% comfortable
A state in which you feel absolutely comfortable, 100% comfort, that is meditation.
Hollow and Empty #2
Creation is all anxious to fulfill your desire when you become hollow and empty.
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.
Expand Your World
Expand your world and your vasanas (cravings) will drop away. The world is so big! Be open to new experiences.
Mental Pain
Your concept in the mind that things should be a certain way causes pain in the mind. The cause of distress is set concepts in the mind.
Divine Nectar
In every breath there is Divine nectar. There is nectar that flows out of it. Or poison can flow.
Unless you are dead
When you sit for meditation, let go of everything. Best way is to think, "Oh, the world is disappearing, dissolved, dead---I am dead." Unless you are "dead" you cannot meditate.
Craving Creates sadness
Why are you sad? Why are you sorrowful? It�s because of your craving. You�re holding on to the past. The sadness is a memory of the past; a memory of craving from the past creates sadness now."
Beauty in wakefulness
Just one spark of beauty in wakefulness, in the awakened, manifests as knowledge, as wisdom. That is satwa (purity of consciousness).
Dissolving Desire
"Want" is always hanging on to the "I." When the "I" itself is dissolving, "want" also dissolves, disappears.
Different degrees of expression
Beauty has three levels: indication, expression, and exposure.
Spirituality indicates, art expresses, and science exposes.
Spirituality indicates, art expresses, and science exposes.
Remember your nature
You have just been overshadowed by the events in your mind---that is
all that has happened. A cloud has covered the sun. What can any cloud
do to the sun? Can it destroy it? Remember your nature. You are the
only Soul, only Being.

Life Begins
Life begins when we step out of the mind. How do we step out of the
small mind? Through samadhi.
small mind? Through samadhi.
The cosmos
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.

Free coupon
If we really look through the eyes of wisdom, there is not a bit in this creation that is devoid of pain. Pain is the tail of everything in the
world. It comes along with anything---you take it, you get a free coupon: you get pain.
Relationship
Relationship is what? Feeling no separation---I am you, you are me. You are part of me, I am part of you.
Desire
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.
Unless you are dead
When you sit for meditation, let go of everything. Best way is to think, "Oh, the world is disappearing, dissolved, dead---I am dead." Unless you are "dead" you cannot meditate.
Deep Inside
Meditation leads you into samadhi. In every meditation, you sit and you are definitely having a glimpse of samadhi, somewhere deep inside
Intense Joy
When we get in touch with the source of life, then all of other tensions, worries which have been clouding this manifestation, fall off and we can sing, dance, and be happy. Life can become very intense, intense in the
sense of being joyful.
sense of being joyful.
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.
Know Thought as Thought
Knowing a thought as thought brings the freedom. When you know a thought as a reality, that is when you are stuck.
Observtion is the key
Craving never dies by experience---craving or aversion goes only through observation.
Fame
This feverishness of fame, of pride, of social recognition is immaturity. Just wake up and see there is nothing much in it. It�s an empty bowl.
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.

Influencing All levels
When you meditate, you are not just bringing a harmony within yourself, but you are influencing the subtle layers of creation, the subtle bodies of all the different levels of existence in the creation.
A point in us
There is a point in us that will remain ever pure, total joy, and
bliss---bliss that can never be taken away from us.
bliss---bliss that can never be taken away from us.
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.
Doing the practice
Just like you learn to speak a language. Just like you learn to punch on the computer. Just like you learn to drive a car or a plane, you have to learn to drive back to the Self. This is the saadhana, this is the practice---is something that comes to you not just by nature, but by your effort.
energy levels
Just the sound of a bell, that is enough to appreciate. But if your energy is low, you need really loud rock and roll to just make you feel good, high.
There is no death for you
There is no death for you. Death is nothing but a long sleep. Death is nothing but just changing your jackets.
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.
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.

the world bakes you, heats you up. And if you put your finger deeper
into it, you will get burned. So move lightly.
Mysteries
This world is a mystery. Love is a mystery. Life is a mystery. Your sleep is a mystery. And mystery transcends reasoning.
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.
charming others
Much energy is wasted in trying to charm others. And in wanting to charm---I tell you, the opposite happens.
Attend to the source
When the Source is attended to, all your other abilities flower automatically, spontaneously.
impermanence
Just observe the nature---how big this world is, how big the universe is. Nothing is permanent here.
The Cosmos
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.
Memories
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.
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?
