Knowledge is not information, it’s transformation.
Meditation is enough. Everything else follows on its own.
Mind is the absence of meditation. The moment meditation arises in you, mind is found nowhere.
To me a man of meditation is bound to be immensely loving.
First prepare the ground, then prayer happens on its own accord. Prayer is something that you cannot do. Meditation is something that you can do because it has something to do with your mind.
Meditation means to be in non-doing. Meditation is not a doing but a state of being. It is a state of being in one’s own self.
Meditation is like light: when meditation comes, politics disappears. So you cannot be meditative and political. That is impossible: you are asking for the impossible. Meditation is not one pole: it is the absence of all conflict, all ambition, all ego trips.
Meditation is how to drop knowledge. Meditation means how to become ignorant again. Meditation means how to become a child again, a rose bush, a rock. Meditation means how just to be and not to think.
Worship the Silent Space in you.
Tonight go to sleep as though your whole past has been dropped. Die to the past. And in the morning wake up as a new man in a new morning. Don’t let the same one who went to bed get up. Let him go to sleep for good. Let the one who is ever-new and ever-fresh awake instead.
Life is happiness and unhappiness. Life is day and night, life is life and death. You have to be aware of both.
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.
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.
