There are a few activities which are immensely valuable: laughter is one of these activities. Singing, dancing, are also of the same quality, but laughter is the quickest.
Laughter is the real religion. Everything else is just metaphysics.
Start and finish your day with laughter, and you will see, by and by, in between these two more and more laughter starts happening. And the more laughing you become, the more religious.
Love and laughter go together; and laughter is one of the greatest medicines.
Laughter is more sacred than prayer, dancing more spiritual than chanting mantras, loving existence more cosmic than going to a church.
You are not accidental. The world needs you. Without you, something will be missing in existence and nobody can replace it.
Meditation is a process of getting rid of the whole past, of getting rid of all diseases, of getting rid of all the pus that has gathered in you. It is painful, but it is cleansing, and there is no other way to cleanse you.
If you meditate, sooner or later you will come upon love. If you meditate deeply, sooner or later you will start feeling a tremendous love arising in you that you have never known before.
Mind only thinks, meditation lives.
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.
