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.

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.

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.

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.
the power of memories
Once you have had a very peaceful, beautiful state of mind, the very memory of it again will again make you relive that
Disagreement
Whether you agree with me or disagree with me, what does it matter to what is? What is, is
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.
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.

An old habit
Man finds comfort in the past or in the future, never looks into the
present. It has been an old habit, very old habit, of the human mind.
Either it glorifies the past and relishes itself in the memory of
past, or it builds castles in dreams, in clouds, for the future.

Small World
Your world is very small. Your world is bundle of your experiences.
Have you observed this?

desire is unawareness
Desire means the present is not sufficient enough; it is not okay the
way it is now, this moment. Desire means projection to the next
moment. Desire simply means being unaware of the Infinity. Desire
simply means you don?t know yourself.

gossip
Most of the sorrow in the world is because of this: speech -- what
people say. If they kept their lips tight, ninety percent of the
problems in the world would be over.

Life is a vast ocean
Observe that there is something much more than your "doership." It is
like a vast ocean. Life is not just in your body. It is between you
and me and everybody else.
