The moment you accept yourself, you become beautiful.
Enjoy simple things with total intensity. Just a cup of tea can be a deep meditation.
Love is the first step towards the divine, surrender is the last. And two steps is the whole journey.
Don't be angry at life. It is not life that is frustrating you, it is you who are not listening to life.
Once your awareness becomes a flame, it burns up the whole slavery that the mind has created.
All power is God`s power; we are only vehicles. He pulsates in our hearts. He breathes through us. He sings a thousand and one songs through us. Sannyas means to let this understanding become the foundation of your life: We are not, God is. Let the ego disappear, evaporate, and you will find infinite contentment. With the ego there is only misery; without the ego there is only God; and God is bliss, and God is benediction, and God is ecstasy. Die to the ego so that God can live in you.
Love means the art of being with others. Meditation means the art of being with yourself. Both are two aspects of the same coin.
Once you have started seeing the beauty of life, ugliness starts disappearing. If you start looking at life with joy, sadness starts disappearing. You cannot have heaven and hell together, you can have only one. It is your choice.
Your honesty, Your love, Your compassion should come from your inner being, not from teachings and scriptures.
Love can make a great celebration out of your life - but only love, not lust, not ego, not possessiveness, not jealousy, not dependence.
When you feel expansion of your consciousness, that is the most ecstatic experience possible, because suddenly you are the whole universe. Stars are within you. The sun rises within you and sets within you. The earth moves within you. The flowers blossom within you.
Without possessions, success, fame; who are you?
Next time when anger comes just watch it. Don't say, I am angry. Say, Anger is there and I am watching it. And see the difference!
Respect your uniqueness, and drop comparison. Relax into your being.
Love makes you empty - empty of jealousy, empty of power trips, empty of anger, empty of competitiveness, empty of your ego and all its garbage. But love also makes you full of things which are unknown to you right now; it makes you full of fragrance, full of light, full of joy.
The only authentic responsibility is towards your own potential. Values have not to be imposed on you. They should grow with your awareness, in you.
God is not in heaven - God is in the present moment. If you are also in the present moment you enter the temple.
I love this world because it is imperfect. It is imperfect, and that's why it is growing; if it was perfect it would have been dead.
There are things which happen through effort, and there are things which happen only through effortlessness. There are things which will never happen through effort, and there are things which will never happen through effortlessness. All that is mundane happens through effort; all that is worldly happens through effort. And all that is sacred, other-worldly, happens through effortlessness.
Only meditation, only silence, only transcending beyond your mind is going to give you contentment and fulfillment.
Crowds create illusions.
Mind is dual, it always divides things into polar opposites: the conqueror and the conquered, the observer and the observed, the object and the subject, the day and the night. It goes on dividing things which are not divided. Neither is the day divided from the night, nor is birth divided from death. They are one energy. But mind goes on dividing everything into polarities, opposites. Nothing is opposite in existence; every contradiction is only apparent. Deep down all contradictions are meeting together.
When sadness comes, just sit by the side and look at it and say, "I am the watcher, I am not sadness," and see the difference. Immediately you have cut the very root of sadness. It is no more nourished. It will die of starvation. We feed these emotions by being identified with them.
Get out of your head and get into your heart. Think less, feel more.
The real thing is that you are suffering from your expectations. When they are not fulfilled - and they are never going to be fulfilled - frustration arises, failure arises, and you feel neglected, as if existence does not care for you. Drop expectations for the future. Remain open, remain available to whatsoever happens, but don't plan ahead. Don't make any psychological, fixed ideas about the future - that things should be like this - and much more suffering will disappear.
