Once two persons are tied together freedom is lost and anger arises. When freedom is lost everything becomes ugly. Love means that freedom remains intact: marriage means that freedom has been dropped. You have bargained for permanence, for security, and you have paid for it with freedom.
All methods of meditation are nothing but methods to help you to remember the art of let-go.
Silence is the space where man wakes up.
Become more and more innocent, less knowledgeable and more childlike. Take life as fun – because that’s precisely what it is!
And this sensitivity will create new friendships for you – friendships with trees, with birds, with animals, with mountains, with rivers, with oceans, with stars. Life becomes richer as love grows.
Don’t analyze, celebrate it.
Meditation is not growth of the ego, it is death of the ego.
If there is pain, use it as an awareness, as meditation, as a sharpening of the soul. And when pleasure is there, use it as a droning, as a forgetfulness. Both are ways to reach God. One is to remember yourself totally, and one is to forget yourself totally.
Enjoyment is just the sound of being centered.
Laughter relaxes. And relaxation is spiritual.
Don’t look for God in the sky; look within your own body.
The West has made people too time-conscious, not knowing where they are going but speeding to get there because time is short.
Those who miss meditation miss the whole dance of life.
Passing through the fire of meditation, everything that is not your authentic reality, everything that is borrowed, will be burned away.
Look at the trees, look at the birds, look at the clouds, look at the stars-and if you have eyes you will be able to see that the whole existence is joyful.
Remember the emphasis on the heart. the mind lives in doubt and the heart lives in trust. When you trust, suddenly you become centered.
People love freedom – but nobody wants responsibility. And they come together, they are inseparable.
Sadness comes, joy comes, and everything passes by. What remains always is the witness. The witness is beyond all polarities.
In relationship, be blissful, in aloneness be aware and they will help each other, like two wings of a bird.
Jealousy means ego, jealousy means unconsciousness. Jealousy means that you have not known even a moment of joy and bliss; you are living in misery. Jealousy is a by-product of misery, ego, unconsciousness.
