If you remain always far, love will die. If you remain always near, love will die. Love can survive only in a continuous flowing relationship.
If love can not keep you together, nothing else can keep you together. And if.
Lovers are mirrors to each other. Love makes you aware of your original face.
Perfect people don’t exist. And perfect people, if they existed, would be very boring. It is imperfection that keeps life interesting.
If you have no conditions you can enjoy life infinitely. If you have conditions, because of them you become incapable.
Love means the art of being with others. Meditation means the art of being with yourself. Both are two aspects of the same coin.
I’ll never make any resolutions. Drop all resolutions! Let life be a natural spontaneity. The only golden rule is that there are no golden rules.
I resolve never to make any resolutions because all resolutions are restrictions for the future. All resolutions are imprisonments.
Unless you love yourself, you can’t love anybody. Be selfish.
Only an acceptance of both the flowers and the thorns can bring you peace. Peace, after all, is the fruit of total acceptance.
Sexuality is possible without any understanding, without any meditation. Love is possible only with understanding. Compassion is possible only with understanding and meditation, understanding and awareness.
One has to love unconditionally – the trees and the rocks and the sun and the moon and the people.
Love is born in sexuality but sexuality is not love. The lotus is born in the mud, but the lotus is not just mud. And if mud remains mud of course there are bound to be tears on the cheeks.
Love can exist only after meditation, not before it. That is a simple existential law. Before meditation – only lust, only sexuality. Before meditation you are an animal and not really a human being. With meditation a transformation comes: you become human, and out of your humanness, love flows.
If you wait for your natural soul mate to meet with you, it will be just like waiting for lightning with which to read your Bible. And you will not be able to read much either. For a moment it is there, and by the time you have opened the Bible it is gone.
Tantra is the science of transforming ordinary lovers into soul mates. And that is the grandeur of Tantra. It can transform the whole earth; it can transform each couple into soul mates.
The whole play of existence is so beautiful that laughter can be the only response to it. Only laughter can be the real prayer, gratitude.
Death is the most misunderstood phenomenon. People have thought of death as the end of life. That is the first, basic misunderstanding.
There is nothing ugly about death; but man, out of his fear, has made even the word, death ugly and unutterable. People don’t like to talk about it. They won’t even listen to the word death.
If you understand, if you see, if you can feel and experience that you are not separate from existence, that you are one with it, all fear of death disappears because there is nobody to die inside you. In the first place there is nobody at all, existence lives through you.
