Enlightened Behavior
We expect enlightened behavior from everybody around us. And when we do not see it, we become unhappy. When you do not behave in an enlightened way, how can you expect everyone else to..Looking for the Divine
You will find the Divine in the last place, because once you find it you will not go on searching.
Duties
Don’t think, “I have lots of duties. How will I fulfill my duties!” See, the moment you think something is your duty, there is no beauty in it. Duty, responsibility, becomes a burden, it becomes a bondage on your head. Love the job that you are doing.Succesful Failures
When the big Mind wins over the small, even the failure of the small mind is a joy. It has always happened that way. Turn back and see---some of your failures have been very good. They have made you progress somewhere, made you stronger.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.

POSSIBLE
When you make the possible POSSIBLE, Guru will make the impossible POSSIBLE :-)
If you look to God, pray to God, with a full heart, dropping sorrow (What is sorrow! Huh? Hanging on to the past.) then whatever you desire will all be given to you.
What is the best way to reach bliss?
One is, by meditating, and the other, is by serving the people around you - by getting into some service activity.
No bad people
There are only selfish or bad moments; there are no bad people in this world. They are ignorant. Inside every culprit is a victim crying for help. Feel compassionate for such people.
Contentment
Want, or desire, arises when you are not happy. Have you seen this? When you are very happy then there is contentment. "Contentment" means "no want."
Perfection is not achieved completely by anyone in this world,
But if u keep chasing the Perfection,
Somewhr on way, you may catch EXCELLENCE...
Ego means...
Ego means being not natural, not feeling at home. Ego means, "OK, I want to show to someone that I am somebody." When you feel at home and natural, then there is no ego..

The Being is immortal, the Consciousness is immortal, the Guru is immortal, the rishi, maharishi, is immortal. And so also, you are immortal and eternal . . .

takes away the passion in you,

In life, any time you become stiff---and there you get a slap! Become soft; smile there. Any stiffness, life just smoothens it out, evens it out, in you.

God does not create sadness for you.When you go away from God, you experience sadness. . . SRI SRI...
In the realm of mind, like attracts like. If the soul is peaceful, then it attracts peaceful environment and people around it.
The Level of Words
Much is done in silence. If the communication is just on the level of words, many questions will come, and answers are given, and many more questions will come, and more answers will come, and many questions---it is an endless exercise.
This is ironic, it's a big irony: that freedom and surrender---they go hand in hand.
Flash of Surrender
Sometimes on a dark night if there is lightning, that second you see the whole town. Everything becomes visible, even for a few moments. Like that, surrender happens in deep meditation.
True love will not bring sadness, sorrow, misery, problems. But with vasanas (cravings) a tail is always attached---pain, problems, misery, discomfort. . . SRI SRI...

Avoiding Bondage
You reject something, but if you reject it without anger it is not bondage; if you reject something with anger, then that is bondage. You receive some, and when you receive: "Oh, oh, oh!" you are excited about it, then that is bondage. Whatever is done with anger or excitement makes a strong impression in the mind and that becomes a bondage.
Our work is to spread love. Love is already there in people, we only have to rekindle it . . .
Be a very normal, natural person in the universe. Follow all the norms and regulations, rules in the society. But at the same time, don't allow them to restrict or eat away the life inside you. Don't be swallowed by these identifications
False Promises
The mind has promised you heaven, but it is taking you to hell. You have been chasing the mind; you are trodding behind it. It increases the hunger and thirst in you by giving a little glimpse of joy here and there.

Individual peace, peace in society, collective peace ...starts from where we are ..Within each of us we can create that peace . . .
Look into the Vastness
Our head is stuck inside a drum, and we think that is the sky. It is so little, our universe. Take your head; lift up---look into that vastness of the creation.
Anything you do with patience, you are not wasting that time. Anything you do impatiently, with restless mind or restless body, know for sure---you are wasting time
Our energy is getting dissipated in the form of fears and desires. And it is the desire that makes you weak . .
Discomfort and Discipline
To bear that (which) is uncomfortable is discipline. It need not be uncomfortable all the time, but if it is uncomfortable, to be able to bear and move through it, you need a discipline.
Meditation..
When you meditate, it sends out such a peaceful radiation, waves of light, and then those who left their body, who have reached the other shore, get benefited from that. It's like a laser beam, laser light, reaching the other side where it is dark. . . .
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.

Stuck on a Viewpoint
Your bondage is when you have a certain viewpoint and you are stuck with that viewpoint.

We have this ability, but we have forgotten to listen from our heart. That is why we are tense and worried and dull and dry---we feel dry in life. The joy comes when we can listen from our heart.
Jealousy
You can never feel jealous about yourself, can you? When something is not you, you feel jealous.

WHO AM I?
"To the question
"Who am I?"
the only relevant answer is silence.
You need to discard all answers in words, including
"I am Nothing" or
"I am the Cosmic Self" or
"I am the Self" -
and just stick to the question
"Who am I?".
All other answers are just thoughts. Thoughts can never be complete.
