Meditation is just a courage to be silent and alone. Slowly slowly, you start feeling a new quality to yourself, a new aliveness, a new beauty, a new intelligence – which is not borrowed from anybody, which is growing within you. It has roots in your existence.
Meditation is the breath of your soul. Just as breathing is the life of the body, meditation is the life of the soul.
The mind is constantly talking. If the inner talk can drop even for a single moment you will be able to have a glimpse of no-mind. That’s what meditation is all about. The state of no-mind is the right state. It is your state.
Meditation requires courage. It requires the basic integrity, sincerity, respect towards your own being. At least don’t deceive yourself.
When meditation releases energy in you, it will find all sorts of ways to be expressed.
The world can come to a harmony if meditation is spread far and wide.
The western mind is linear, the eastern mind is circular.
Mind is a broken mirror.
Mind is blocking the fountain of intelligence like a rock.
To be present is to be prayerful.
The West has enough technology, enough science, enough affluence, enough money, but something of the inner is missing. There is no peace, no silence, no joy, no bliss, no meditativeness, no experience of godliness.
The body has to be looked after: one has to be very caring about the body and very loving to the body. And then, its very spontaneity purifies it, makes it holy.
The innocence of children is their wisdom, the simplicity of children is their egolessness. The freshness of the child is the freshness of your consciousness, which never becomes old, which always remains young.
To be alone and to be drunk with your own aloneness is what meditation is all about. Be in the world, but don’t be of it.
Your life sparks fires from within your innermost temple. No one can reach there but you, it is your inner sanctum. You are your own master there, only you can reach and ignite the fire.
Only the rich can achieve enlightenment because the poor are too busy looking for fridge freezers.
Seriousness is a disease.
In a deep moment of love, thinking stops. The moment is so intriguing, the moment is so tremendously powerful, the moment is so intensely alive, that thinking stops. You are simply in awe, a great wonder surrounds you.
Meditation has to become your heartbeat; even when you are asleep the meditation continues like an undercurrent.
Meditation is the golden key to all the mysteries of life.
