Is there any end to desires?
All these different desires for experiences, for living, for knowing -- they arise and they get fulfilled and they move. Is there anybody who has not fulfilled any desire? Or is there anybody who has fulfilled all the desires? Is there any end for it?
Unending Desires
Your mind is tired, is burned down through its galloping on desire after desire---it's so tired! Just turn back and see all the desires you have achieved. Have they given you rest? No. They've only created a few more desires in you.Agitation
A mind without agitation is meditation.
Become Free
Before this earth eats you up, become free---free from this feverishness that is gripping your mind, free from this craving for happiness.True Unity
Existing as though you are not, living as though you are not there at all: hollow and empty - pure, empty space - that is when one says, "Let Thy will be done. Let Thy will be done. Let Thy will be done." That is true unity between the little small mind and the infinite mind, the cosmic mind, the universal mind.
Harsh Words
Do not speak any harsh word. Let not any harsh word come out of your mouth to anyone, for the Divine dwells in every heart. Do not hurt with your words, for the Divine dwells in every heart.
You are the goal. You are the past, present and future.
Applause
If ten thousand people applaud you---so what? You think you will be in their mind, in their attention, forever? No. You will get big applause, and they clap, and they go away. And, the same people, some other time may talk ill of you, too.
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!"
Abiding in the Seer
Whenever you experience joy, ecstasy, bliss, happiness in life, knowingly or unknowingly you are abiding in the form of the Seer, in the nature of the Seer. Otherwise, at other times you are with different activities of the mind. You become one with different activities of the mind.Renunciation
God himself has not renounced this world. How can you renounce it? It�s an insult to God if you want to renounce this world.
Forgiveness shields and protects your mind, your spirit, from being violent.
Honoring Secrets
When you honor a secret, you mind does not jump forward, it is stabilized, it flowers, it blossoms.
You are the source of joy
You are the source of joy. You are the source of love.
Change
Feelings change, thoughts change, ideas change, body is undergoing changes all the time. But the thirst deep within us is for something that is not changing, that is eternal, that is always, that is the same.
You don't have to worry
You don't have to worry; your life is not a big burden, a big responsibility for the Divine. It can take care of you very well. Don't be concerned and worried about money so much. Be filled with love, be filled with gratitude, get rid of the fear in you by being in love.
Transformative
Awareness, understanding, experiencing the life energy down inside, can bring huge transformation.
Divine Love
The divine love is greater than any action.
If you are loving, then you are welcomed everywhere in the world. If you can feel and be one with people anywhere you go, then people are ready to do anything for you.
Enthusiasm
The sign of life is enthusiasm. The sign of success is smile and joy.
Expand Your World
Expand your world and your vasanas (cravings) will drop away. The world is so big! Be open to new experiences.
Compartments in the Mind
You have got big compartments in your mind, innumerable compartments made in your mind. So, you immediately put everything, your experiences in life, into compartments. You make concepts and get stuck there.
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.
SILENCE
Some questions can only be answered in silence. Silence is the goal of all answers. If the answer does not silence the mind, it is no answer.
To the question "Who am I?" the only relevant answer is silence. You need to discard all the answers in words, including "I am nothing" or "I am the cosmic self" or "I am the Self." Just remain with the question "who am I?" All other answers are just thoughts and thoughts can never be complete.
Only silence is complete.
Attend to the Source
When the Source is attended to, all your other abilities flower automatically, spontaneously
God is not�
God is not the object of sight; you can never see God. God is not an object of hearing. God is not an object of smelling or tasting. God cannot be perceived through your senses, nor through the mind.
This Drama
What is it you are hanging on to? How long will you continue this play, this drama? What is happening? Hmm?
Divine Love
As long as there is ego, there is no divine love; and when there is Divine Love, the ego there is no sign of it.
Every moment
Offer every moment into the Divine.
When You are Disturbed
Do you do this? Any day that you are disturbed, instead of yelling and screaming and shouting at other people here and there, blaming other people, have you ever said, "Oh, I want to do more chanting, and let me sit. Today I feel disturbed so let me go and love more people around me." Have you ever done that?
Unconditional Love
The breath moves into a saint as well as into a wicked person. The breath makes no distinction, it moves. Unconditionally it loves you, supports you, holds you in its arms, because it is all Shiva. The entire creation is "Shiva tatwa" -- innocence.
Doubt and Trust
The possibility of doubting shows you the strength of your trust. When you do not have a chance to doubt, then how do you know how deep is your trust? You do not know.
Surrender is not…
Surrender is not an act. It's not again and again trying to bow down and saying, "Oh, I am surrendering; I am surrendering." Saying that to yourself a hundred times---that is not surrender.Doubt and Trust
The possibility of doubting shows you the strength of your trust. When you do not have a chance to doubt, then how do you know how deep is your trust? You do not know.
Surrender is…
Open your hands up---that is surrender. It is your very nature.

Sacredness is the secret of the universe. In the womb of sacredness, creation happens. Consciousness is sacred.

Bubbles on the Surface of the Infinite
Rise above the dualities, the opposites. See this whole world as the bubbles on the surface of water. See people as bubbles on the surface of the Brahman, of the Infinity...Water bubbles up, rises up. Like that, everybody is rising and having their own games and plays and dissolving back into the Infinite.

The Highest Blossoming
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 consciousness which contains the infinite past, the infinite future, and is totally available in the present moment.
Overshadowed?
You have just been overshadowed by the events in your mind---that is all that has happened. A cloud has covered the sun. What can any cloud do to the sun? Can it destroy it? Remember your nature. You are the only Soul, only Being.

Sacredness is the secret of the universe. In the womb of sacredness, creation happens. Consciousness is sacred.
