Compassion or Forgiveness
Compassion is better than forgiveness. The very word "forgiveness" implies that there is an intention in somebody's mistake. Somebody is bad so you are going to "forgive" them. Peep into their heart. Go beyond their words, beyond their behavior---you will see, they need compassion, they need help.

Don't See Intention
Do not see intention behind somebody else's mistakes

Breath is the Link
Breath is the link between your body and your spirit and your mind.

Compassion
When there is a wound deep inside a person, he will try to share that with other people. What else can he do? You just recognize: "Oh, he needs compassion." Compassion is the only medicine. Unconditional love is the only treatment.

Conditional Love
We try to hold on to people. Even when we love, we love with a condition: "See, I love you, so in return you must love me."

Doubt
You doubt in the positivity of people, in the goodness of people. You don't doubt in the negativity, or badness, in the people. Do you? Have you ever doubted in somebody's anger toward you? Have you ever said, "Is she really angry at me? I don't believe it." But if someone says, "I love you," you say, "Really? Sure? Truly? Then prove it to me!"

More Doubt
Just examine, what do you doubt? You doubt always in something good---whether it is in you or in someone else. When you are depressed, you never doubt your depression, but when you are happy you doubt: "Am I really happy? Is this really what I want?" And then you say, "I'm not sure..."

Still More Doubt
In order to trust, you must first understand your doubt. You doubt yourself, and you doubt people around you. And then you doubt in the existence of God.

Trust
The entire world lives on trust. Every aspect in life moves with trust.

Effort won't work
The moment you make an effort to love somebody or to be happy, you cannot.

"Your journey should be from the known to the unknown. And how do you do that? By doing something which you don't know!.". . . SRI SRI...

Being Natural
When you are natural, when you don't pretend, then you are very close to the Divine.

See love even where it isn't
Even if people don't like or love you, from your side you consider that they do love you, so that your love, at least, gets protected. Otherwise, when you think somebody doesn't love you, then you will also stop loving them.

" When you are natural, when you don't Pretend, then you are very close to the Divine.". . . SRI SRI...

Compassion And Trust
Even if somebody doesn't love you, just go and tell them, "Oh, I know you love me so much." Tell them five or six times; see the change in them. Even if they don't love you, they'll start.

" Give your quality time to the Divine...it will be rewarded...Give Sadhana, Seva and Satsang your first priority.". . . SRI SRI...

How to drain love
We keep on challenging: "Do you really love me? If you really love me then you won't do like this. You should be doing this way." When we keep some such measuring rods, then we are draining love.

Take it for granted
Take it for granted that the divine loves you dearly,
then your love for the divine becomes more unconditional and intense!

"We should be present and be giving presents to everyone. Everyone who comes to you should leave with smile.". . . SRI SRI...

Abundance is a state of mind
Abundance is a state of mind within you. If you just look at "lack," the lack increases in life.

" What is the highest blossoming of consciousness? That consciousness which is neither in the past nor in the future nor in the present, but is a witness to all three. Or you can say that conciousness which contains the infinite past, the infinite future, and totally available in the present moment."

Don't look at lack.
Don't look at the lack in your life. See what you have. Then abundance increases.

Love is Letting Go
Love is that phenomenon of dissolving, disappearing, merging, becoming one with. Love is that phenomenon of total letting go.

"Life is nothing to be very serious about. Life is a ball in your hands to play with. Don't hold on to the ball.". . . SRI SRI...

Look at what you have.
Just look at what you have. Focus on it---because where you put your energy that increases in life.

There is some power, someone who is really caring for you---not just someone:
there is only One in the whole universe. That One in the Universe is caring and taking care. Relax; just be peaceful.

Which way are you looking?
You think, "Nobody loves me! Everybody hates me!" and I tell you, that is what is going to happen. Because you will be looking in that direction, looking that way. I'm sure you'll find somebody---even the most nice person will look at you and may not give a big smile to you.

Spiritual Knowledge and Science
All possible advancements in any field you see today, either science or arts, originated as a thought, originated in that ocean of intelligence. People talk about "science meeting spirituality" or " spirituality coming together with science" this is such an immature, childish statement. Spiritual knowledge *is* science. And science can never be away from spiritual knowledge. Because, spirit alone can bring the science up. They are two sides of the same coin.

Take It For Granted
Take it for granted---even if nobody loves you, say, "Everyone loves me!"

That is Enough!
God loves you. That is enough. And, you *are* love. That is enough!

the golden veil
in the world, everybody is after GOLD; some are after GOOD; only a few are after GOD.
Transcend GOLD, transcend the GOOD, and reach GOD................

"The entire world lives on trust. Every aspect in life moves with trust.". . . SRI SRI...

Dropping the craving or the aversion in the mind, towards any particular sense object, strengthens the mind - and only a strong mind can ever experience Divine Love.

Uninterrupted
Uninterrupted sharing---that grows into feeling the presence of Divine all the time, uninterruptedly.

" God Loves You. That is enough. And, you *are* Love. That is enough!.". . . SRI SRI...

Pause
Just singing is not sufficient. One can just go on singing. But in between the songs, a few moments of silence, of depth, of experiencing the bliss of the infinite---that is very essential.

There is no way - neither by any actions, nor words - that you can ever convince anybody that you really love him (or her). The more we try to do this, the more we do the contrary.

Feel oneness
When you feel so much oneness with the Master that you don't feel, The Master is separate, I am separate; the Divine is separate, I am separate, that is Divine Love.

When this truth - that the world is misery - becomes solidified in the mind, in our experience, only then are we able to see, what is beyond this world - that something, the spirit, which is all joy..

"We try to hold on to people. Even when we love, we love with a condition: "See, I love you, so in return you must love me.. . . SRI SRI...

Sometimes on a dark night, if there is lightning, then for a second, you see the whole town. Everything becomes visible, even though it's just for a few moments.
Like that, surrender happens in deep meditation.

Spiritualise the politics,Socialise the business and Secularise the religion...and that is it.. . . SRI SRI...

Dispassion is not apathy. Often we think dispassion means being totally unenthusiastic, depressed, not interested in anything - This is not dispassion. Dispassion is lack of feverishness.

Offering
Offering is a sign of surrender. When there is surrender, we offer - we write a poem, we offer a flower, we do something. We offer our breath - offering the very life, the very breath, is Divine Love

Really Living

To your very dear and loved ones, you say this: "If you need me, I am here. I am here for you. I am here to make you comfortable." Those are the moments that you have really lived your life.

Tolerance
Have patience and tolerance, be positive about everything...At the end You will be the winner always!!!

"When you are angry at somebody, for their mistake, you have become that person.". . . SRI SRI...

When somebody makes a mistake - when we recognize somebody's mistake - if we dont feel compassion for them, then we will definitely feel anger... and this anger becomes hatred .

Erased Karmas
Even in (Sudarshan) Kriya, when you do Kriya, at the end of the Kriya you get a glimpse of samadhi, for a few seconds, even. Sometimes you are aware, sometimes you are not aware of it. And at this moment all the "karmas," the latent impressions in the mind---they all get burned down and erased.

Purpose of Words
The Purpose of words are to create SILENCE

If you want to grow in Divine Love, you have got to drop the pride and all the artificial walls, we build between ourselves and others. Through these walls, we keep judging others, and we think, others are judging us.

"See a mistake as a mistake, not as "my" or "his" mistake. "My" means guilt; "his" means anger.". . . SRI SRI...

We keep on challenging and saying: 'Do you really love me? If your really love me, then you wont do this. You should be doing it this way.' When we keep such measuring rods, then we are draining love.

Sharing
Knowledge and Love are the most valuable treasures; when shared they increase multi fold...

Worry
Worry is a product of loving something that is not permanent, that is not eternal.

“Joy is Love for what is, sorrow is the Love for what is not, the very nature of highest Joy is to share, it is to bring it to everybody.” . . . SRI SRI...

In life, some pleasant things happen, some unpleasant things happen -- so what? None of them stay forever.

“Living like a child without apprehension is called surrender.Thinking that everybody belongs to me and just believe in that is surrender.” . . . SRI SRI...

You can't even say 'enlightened person' You can only say 'enlightenment' because when the person's personalities disappear, dissolve, then that is enlightenment.

“If your heart is fully opened, you cannot find fault with anyone because you will see everyone as Part of yourself.” . . . SRI SRI...

Growing in Divine Love
If you want to grow in Divine Love, you have got to drop the pride and all the artificial walls, we build between ourselves and others. Through these walls, we keep judging others, and we think, others are judging us.

“Praise may not be true, but sometimes criticism may be true, but we still long praise. Accept criticism as gleefully as praise.” . . . SRI SRI...

Hard to get
When an attraction becomes a little difficult to attain, then love begins to happen more. And when it becomes a little difficult to capture love, possess love, then devotion starts happening. Just reflect on this.

No Complaints
The sign of enlightenment is no complaints and no explanations!

The Enemy of Love
Worry is enemy of love. You cannot be in love and be worried at the same time.

Worry and Hanging On
Worry makes you hang on to the past, because worry carries the "doership" in it. And the path of devotion is dropping the "doership."

Be with your Feelings
Whatever feeling is there in you at the moment, whatever feeling, be with it one hundred percent. Share it with the Divine.

“Love is seeing God in the person next to us and meditation is seeing God within us.” SRI SRI...

Tax
Just look into all the pleasures or joys that you get from the world, from anything - They all come with a tax. You have to pay a tax for them .. and this tax is sorrow.

“When your mind is not complaining, responsible, courageous, confident and hollow n empty, you are inexplicably beautiful.” SRI SRI...

An attitude of: 'so wht! Let it be' - takes away the feverishness in you, takes away the passion in you, and brings you to that pillar of dispassion.

Be passionate..
If you are passionate, be passionate about the highest, the most wonderful, the most beautiful. Be passionate about this entire creation for everything is so beautifu

“If you are saddened by other's sorrow then sorrow will never come to you. and if you are happy at other's joy then joy will never leave you.” SRI SRI...

Feel grateful for your very existence ... for your body, and for all that you have, all the love you have received. This gratefulness will bring you a flood of prosperity, joy and happiness.

“You are total, You are full. You have all that you need. Do not underestimate yourself.” SRI SRI...

The Formless
The formless is ruling your life. The formless is ruling the world. And there is a greater formlessness that is ruling the entire creation. And you are the center of that greater formlessness, whatever you call it---God, Consciousness, No-Mind, Nirvana, Spirit, anything you call it by name.

Knowledge of Death
Knowledge of death makes you immortal. It's wrong to even say, "makes you immortal." It makes you aware that you are immortal, anyway.

Fear
Lack of understanding of life causes fear. People are afraid of love, people are afraid of meditation, people are afraid of death, people are afraid of themselves. Ignorance, lack of awareness, is cause of fear. Just a glimpse of the Being, of the Self that you are, that you are beyond death, roots out the fear totally.

The Sattvic Intellect
The sattvic intellect is one that just does the job joyfully and is unmindful of the results. Let things happen or not happen---either way they don't lose their enthusiasm.

Every Inch Filled with Bliss
For one who has awakened in knowledge, there is no more suffering. The world appears completely different. For him every inch of this creation is filled with bliss, is a part of the Self.

Self Is the Center
The Self is the center of the whole creation.

Too Much
The same thing which gave you pleasure is now making you suffer. If you are forced to eat twenty apple pies you will hold your head and say, "Oh my God! I want relief from this. I want to get away from this! Enough is enough!"

Pleasure and Release
This entire universe is there to give you pleasure and release. Whatever gives you pleasure should also give relief. Otherwise, the very pleasure becomes pain

Changing
Everything in this universe is dynamic. There is nothing that is static. Even the mountains appear to be static, but they are not static, they are all dynamic. Every atom is dynamic in this universe.

Don't Get Lost
The whole world is here for you to enjoy, but when enjoying, don't forget your Self.

Faith is realizing that you always get what you need. Faith is giving the Divine a chance to act.” SRI SRI..

"The time has come for the non-violent ones to make noise so that violence will decrease"
Sri Sri

Sorrow
Sorrow needs to be lived through and gotten rid of. It should not be suppressed.

“Praising is a divine quality. Blaming is a demonic quality. Praise yourself and others, you will be uplifted.” SRI SRI...

Meditation and Death
Meditation is very similar to this experience of void. In meditation you realize you are not just the body, but you are more than the body. That annihilates the fear of death.

“A successful man has the following qualities: A smile that doesn't die; patience; fearless mind; love; self-confidence; love for everybody.” SRI SRI...

God Loves Fun
Nature loves to give you surprises. God loves fun. He always gives you surprises---sometimes pleasant, sometimes unpleasant. And you grow by unpleasant as well as by pleasant. In fact you grow much more by unpleasant surprises than the pleasant ones.

“Limited responsibility makes you weak,tires you. Unlimited responsibility empowers you and brings you joy.” SRI SRI...

Observe, Don't Identify
Observe the tendencies that come up in you, and do not think you *are* those tendencies.

:“The Master is one who makes you aware of your self, who gives you the knowledge of who you really are.” SRI SRI...

"Do not accept people as they are. Just love them as they are." Sri Sri

The Way Out of Ignorance
The way to come out of ignorance is a definite understanding, a definite knowledge in the mind, that my body is undergoing change all the time, the world is undergoing change all the time, the entire universe is in a state of fluidity and it is all full of change and it is going on on its own, according to its nature.

“Our work is to spread love. Love is already there in people, we only have to rekindle it.” SRI SRI...
