If you are absolutely without mind, just pure consciousness, time stops completely, disappears, leaving no trace behind.
Life cannot be possessed. You cannot have it in your fist. If you want to have it, you have to keep your hands open.
Unless you have the courage to doubt you will never come to know the truth.
The deeper you surrender to existence, life, nature, the more loving, more understanding, more insightful you become.
I say with my own authority that if you go on questioning without accepting anybody’s answer, including mine, by and by you will find that the answer is not found but the question disappears.
Love is an infinite sky!
Find the light and it will show you the path. The path that is shown by your own light is the only path that is right.
Mohammedans say there is only one God and only one prophet of God, that is Muhammad. Then God seems to be very poor – just ONE prophet?
Ordinary society is like a paperweight on you: It won’t allow you to fly.
We have come into the world naked, and all the animals are naked, why should man hide his body behind clothes?
Love is your song – you can sing it any time. It is like breathing. Nobody is going to take it away from you; nobody can take it away from you.
Intellect may arrive at certain inferences, but intellect is an unconsicous phenomenon. You are almost behaving sleepily. Intelligence is awakening, and unless you are fully awake, whatsoever you decide is bound to be wrong somewhere or other.
I have been in love with the thought of Heraclitus.
A creative act enhances the beauty of the world; it gives something to the world, it never takes anything from it. A creative person comes into the world, enhances the beauty of the world – a song here, a painting there. He makes the world dance better, enjoy better, love better, meditate better.
Creativity has nothing to do with any activity in particular – with painting, poetry, dancing, singing. It has nothing to do with anything in particular.
Very few people are accepted as creative: A few painters, a few poets – one in a million. This is foolish! Every human being is a born creator. Watch children and you will see: all children are creative. By and by, we destroy their creativity.
Even trees are creative, rocks are creative. You are man, the very culmination of this existence. You are at the top, you are conscious. Never think with wrong beliefs, and never be attached to wrong beliefs, that you are uncreative.
When there is no mind, you are in yoga; when there is mind you are not in yoga. So you may do all the postures, but if the mind goes on functioning, if you go on thinking, you are not in yoga.
God is there only if you surrender. Surrender makes anything God. Surrender give you the eyes, and everything that is brought to these eyes becomes Divine.
Love never hurts anybody. And if you feel you have been hurt by love, it is something else in you, not your loving quality that feels hurt.
