Once you have known the generosity of existence you will never feel miserable.
Drop all ideas of achieving in meditation, just do it naturally; what happens happens on its own. One day, effortlessly, everything starts happening by itself.
You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty.
Life is a garden. It is an opportunity. You can grow weeds, you can grow roses; it all depends on you.
Destroying something, any idiot can do. Creating needs intelligence.
The ego does not, cannot live in the present, because the present is real and the ego is false – they never meet.
Your ego is just an idea implanted in your mind. It is poisonous. Your ego keeps driving you madder and madder.
Laughing, how can you fall asleep? It brings a state of no-mind and no-thought, and does not allow you to fall asleep.
Relax, let go. But remember only one thing: You are a witness.
Just two small things: meditation and let-go. Remember these two key words: meditation and surrender. Meditation will take you in, and surrender will take you into the whole. And this is the whole of religion. Within these two words Buddha has condensed the whole essence of religion.
Meditation or religion is a totally different world: it is relaxation, it is let-go – it is not concentration at all. It is not one-pointedness, it is no-pointedness.
In this life, your so-called ordinary life, you must be rooted; and in your inner space, in the spiritual life, you must be weightless and flying and flowing, floating.
Remember: life is a rhythm between day and night, summer and winter. It is a continuous rhythm. Never stop anywhere! Be moving! And the bigger the swing, the deeper your experience will be.
Be loving towards yourself, then you will be able to love others too.
Love can never possess. Love is giving freedom to the other. Love is an unconditional gift, it is not a bargain.
Love is the door, it is irrelevant with whom you have fallen in love. Love redeems, neither Jesus, nor Krishna. Love redeems. Fall in love. Love is the only redeeming force. Love is the savior.
Devotion is love overflowing. Even when there is nobody, it is overflowing – to things, to tables, to chairs, to walls. It is just overflowing, it is not a question of to whom.
Without love a man is just a body, an empty temple without the deity. With love the deity arrives, the temple is no more empty. That’s why love gives such fullness, such deep contentment, such tremendously overflowing joy. Remain in love and let love be the door to the divine.
Whenever there is love the woman blossoms. Without love, the woman shrinks. The men who love power never fall in love. Even if they fall in love they keep themselves at a distance.
Any action in which you can be total becomes meditation.
