In the space of no-mind, truth descends like light.
Experience life in all possible ways – good, bad, bitter-sweet, dark, light, summer, winter. Experience all the dualities. Don’t be afraid of experience, because the more experience you have, the more mature you become.
Nobody has the power to take two steps together; you can take only one step at a time.
The real question is not whether life exists after death. The real question is whether you are alive before death.
Nobody is superior, nobody is inferior, but nobody is equal either. People are simply unique, incomparable. You are you, I am I. I have to contribute my potential to life; you have to contribute your potential to life. I have to discover my own being; you have to discover your own being.
Whatever you feel, you become. It is your responsibility.
One just needs a little alertness to see and find out: Life is really a great cosmic laughter.
Fame is foolish, it is pointless, meaningless. Even if the whole world knows you, how does it make you richer? How does it make your life more blissful? How does it help you to be more understanding, to be more aware? To be more alert, to be more alive?
I live my life based on 2 principles. One, I live as if today was my last day on earth. Two, I live today as if I am going to live forever.
To avoid pain, they avoid pleasure. To avoid death, they avoid life.
Find ecstasy within yourself. It is not out there. It is in your innermost flowering. The one you are looking for is you.
Be less of a judge and you will be surprised that when you become a witness and you don’t judge yourself, you stop judging others too. And that makes you more human, more compassionate, more understanding.
All that is great cannot be possessed – and that is one of the most foolish things man goes on doing. We want to possess.
In love the other is important; in lust you are important.
There exists no God. What exists is godliness, and that godliness surrounds you. We are all in the same ocean.
Only a blind man can easily define what light is. When you do not know, you are bold. Ignorance is always bold; knowledge hesitates. And the more you know, the more you feel that the ground underneath is dissolving. The more you know, the more you feel how ignorant you are.
Love is not a relationship, love is a state of being; it has nothing to do with anybody else. One is not “in love”, one is love. And of course when one is love, one is in love – but that is an outcome, a by-product, that is not the source. The source is that one is love.
Love is the goal, life is the journey.
No thought, no mind, no choice – just being silent, rooted in yourself.
Wherever you feel death, feel it. Don’t escape. Death is beautiful; death is the greatest mystery, more mysterious than life. Through life you can gain the world, the futile world- meaningless, worthless. Through death you can gain the eternal. Death is the door.
