We’re at the end of the cycle. You’ve all known it since childhood. In the Hindu division of the ages, this is the Kali Yuga, the dark age. At the end of a cycle, Vishnu takes incarnation as a person. Vishnu is that aspect of God that preserves and protects life. When Vishnu leaves, Shiva comes.
There comes a time when a race of beings makes a decision. When they chose to reject enlightenment, it’s the end of their world because the karma is inevitable. They have to destroy themselves.
It is not the part of divinity to go to humanity and to modify itself in any shape, manner or form; rather it is up to humanity to make itself available to divinity.
When a civilization, a race, a people, a society, when they lack love, they are soon destroyed.
There’s this cave and all humanity is in it and there’s this terribly bright light at the other end and everybody’s afraid of it.
What you have to do is just walk into the light. Then you find that it doesn’t burn, and it’s not particular frightening.
God does everything perfectly. The world doesn’t really need saving; it’s exactly the way God wants it to be at the moment.
As long as it’s a world, it has laws. Why, I don’t know, it’s just the way it is. In Nirvana, there are no laws.
The purpose of life is happiness. What else could it possibly be?
Life is a game in which happiness is the goal.
Happiness is the most elusive thing for human beings to find.
We are miracles. So don’t deny yourself the miracle of happiness.
Life is not a malfunction. It’s beautiful. But if you do not see it that way, it’s simply because your room needs cleaning.
Happiness has to do with how quickly you vibrate. Meditation is a process of speeding up the vibration.
People don’t really want to be happy. They go out of their way to be miserable.
Most people have no idea how unhappy they are because they don’t know what happiness is. When they get a little break from their total pain, they feel a little better and they call it happiness.
How can you be happy in a world like this? You have got to be crazy to even attempt something like that.
Happiness comes from self-knowledge. Self-knowledge means that you have understood your mind. Your mind is the whole universe.
Happiness is warm puppy. In other words, happiness is the things around you. Just to see that puppy is to be happy. You don’t have to do anything; you don’t have to add anything.
Maybe if you stopped asking “why” all the time, you might be happy. Leave it alone, you know? Life is happy.
