A man of many seasons and many rainbows – there are so many dimensions of celebration.
No God is needed, no heaven and hell are needed. All that is needed is a simple understanding that mind is the source of negativities.
Life should be a continual celebration, a festival of lights the whole year round. Only then can you grow up, can you blossom.
When you are so full that there is no emptiness in you, that you have started feeling the significance of the ordinary, day-to-day existence, when moment to moment you live totally, intensely, passionately, then God is available.
When becoming disappears, all the smoke of becoming disappears, there is the flame of being, and that very flame is celebration.
It has nothing to do with your desires and their fulfillment, with your hopes and their fulfillment; it is already the case. But to see the celebration that is already happening at the deepest core of your being you will have to drop becoming, you will have to understand the futility of becoming.
Have you not watched it yourself? Whenever you are total in something there is celebration.
Whatsoever you can be you are. There is no goal. And we are not going anywhere. We are simply celebrating here. Existence is not a journey, it is a celebration. Think of it as a celebration, as a delight, as a joy! Don’t turn it into a suffering, don’t turn it into a duty, a work. Let it be play.
Time is a need of the miserable mind. Time is a creation of misery. If you are happy there is no time – time disappears.
This art of participating in happiness is one of the foundations if you want to be happy.
Only man has become an outsider – and because of his own efforts. On his own, he has separated himself from existence.
Being is primary and doing is secondary for them. Celebration comes first and work takes a back seat in their lives. Work is preparatory to celebration.
If you go and watch the way the primitive tribes live, you will know what work is in relation to celebration. They work the whole day so they can sing and dance with abandon at night.
To transform breakdowns into breakthroughs is the whole function of a master.
Don’t call it uncertainty-call it wonder.
Try to force celibacy upon yourself and your dreams will become sexual, they will have a quality of sexuality.
Creativity is a quality that we give to every activity that we do.
What you eat is not the goal. What you are is the goal.
It is your attachment that creates hell.
A witnessing consciousness lives in life but with tremendous non-attachment, with great non-possessiveness; it possesses nothing. It lives totally, it lives passionately, but still knowing that I don’t possess anything.
