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

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

Be aware of ur mistakes, but don't judge urself thinking that mistake is mine...

“You are Divine. You are part of me, I am Part of you. Its not a question of am I bigger than you, or equal to you, or less than you - I am You.” SRI SRI...

Tragic Cycle
When you see the beauty somewhere, when you fall in love with something, the next impulse that comes in you is to possess it, have it; and, when you have it, it looses all its significance.

Like a Child

When you are established in your Self, you are not holding on to the concepts. You are loose, free, easy and open---just like a child.

“Our first and foremost commitment in the world is to do seva -'service'.” SRI SRI...

Unending Desires
We are busy wanting something all the time. One want finishes, then another want comes up right away. They are in a queue, you know---like in L.A. airport, one plane behind another. One takes off and within two minutes the other takes off.

“Living in the favourable conditions and unfavourable conditions is a part of living, but smiling in all those is "THE ART OF LIVING" .” SRI SRI...

Stay with the Question
"What is the purpose of my life?" This very question enlivens the human values in our system, in our self. But don't be in a hurry to find out an answer to this question. Be with the question. The question itself is like a tool by which you can become more deep within yourself.

“We need to educate people in human values like friendliness,compassion,cooperation,a sense of belonging and spirituality .” SRI SRI...

Our Very Nature
Enlightenment is not an achievement. Rather, getting rid of ignorance is an achievement, getting rid of all the stresses and tension. Because our very nature is enlightenment. That's why "human" and "Divine" are not two things. "Human" is the outer skin and "Divine" is the inside.

“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.” SRI SRI...

Self Only
Only the self exists. Nothing else exists.

“Our human body is made to bring heaven on this world, to bring sweetness into this world, not venom.” SRI SRI...

Pulled in Two Directions
Being human is like being on a bridge, in between. On one side there is the pull of the Divine qualities, on the other side there is the pull of animalistic qualities.That's why there is more conflict in humans than anywhere else.


“Do not depend on arguments. Mystery is beyond argument, miracle is beyond arguments and Love is a miracle in life.” SRI SRI...

Compliments and Insults
See the nature of mind: if there are ten good qualities and one negative, the mind clings on to that one negative. Ten compliments and one insult, the mind will forget all the ten compliments. It hangs on to the one insult and goes on and on and on about it.

“Behind anger is a desire. It's a desire that is the cause of anger. Unless you root out the desire, you can never be devoid of anger.” SRI SRI...

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 infinite past, the infinite future, and is totally available in the present moment.

Self Deception
Our main difficulty is that we don't even share things with ourself---self deception. That is what you call self deception, when you are not truthful to yourself.


“If you are loving, then you are welcome everywhere you go and people are ready to do anything for you.” SRI SRI...

Bhajan
This word "bhajan" is very precious. "Bhaj" means "to share." Sharing what? Sharing all that the Divine is.


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

You Are It
You are all that you are longing for.

“Be light. Smile. Drop. Learn the tendency to drop and smile and move through.” SRI SRI...

Crystalline
You are like crystal, so clear and pure.

Not Much Different
You see violence in action, in somebody, and inside your mind you feel violent about that person. Then you are not much different from that person who is acting violent.

“Forgiveness shields and protects your mind, your spirit, from being violent.” SRI SRI...

Nothing Else
There is nothing else that is more valuable than love in life.

The Whole UNIverse
The whole universe is one body.

“Love is the ultimate flowering & you can't force it to happen. Its a gift to you, its happening, a spontaneous phenomemnon.” SRI SRI...

Seen and Unseen
All this universe you see, but you don't see God---which is the life of the whole universe.

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

The Big Mind
A big Mind---that is God. And your mind is part of that big Mind.

Recognize the Divinity

When you move in the world, recognize the Divinity in things, in people around you. Listen with your heart.

Laugh at Others Mistakes
When you look at someone else’s mistake, you should laugh at it and feel compassionate towards it; then you are able to save your mind.

“A devotee is one who does not think, "What about me?" He has so much trust in the Maste.” SRI SRI...

Flow with present
Flow with present moment without getting caught in any expectation of how joyful or comfortable the next minute to be.

Incomplete and Infinite
Love is incomplete. And it will have to remain incomplete. If it completes, it finds an end. Whatever is completed, whatever is full, total, that means you have marked the boundaries, you have found its limitations. For love to be infinite, it has got to be incomplete. Whatever is incomplete is infinite.

Aversions
Your taste is nothing that cannot be changed. Your aversions are that which bind you, which robs the freedom from you. Stand back and look at them.

“Truth is that which does not change. To know what truth is, you need to go through all that is not truth. All that changes is not truth.” SRI SRI...

Yad Bhaavam Tad Bhavathi : Future Manifests The Way We Think And Feel

Fall in Love with a Flower
If you just fall in love with a flower, you go on appreciating it and go deep into that, and you will see that flower dissolves into the formless. You will see the space which is hiding deep inside that flower.

“Truth is that which does not change. To know what truth is, you need to go through all that is not truth. All that changes is not truth.” SRI SRI...

Seeing God
The future is very comfortable. Glorifying the past is very comfortable. Seeing God now, here, is difficult. Seeing God in yourself is even more difficult

Ego is Complicated
Ego wants something which is very difficult. It doesn't recognize the simplicity in life. Life is simple. Ego is very complicated.

“This entire creation is rejoicing in you. Because, it is a play, it is a game. It's not a serious something that is judged and punished.” SRI SRI...

Sri Sri: Source of action is thought, Source of thought is yourself. Whatever thought you encourage about yourself, thatis the direction taken...

Every Moment
God is calling you every moment.

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

God and Devotees
God is all over. God is in the stone. God is in the flowers. God is in the garbage can. God is all over, but devotee is not all over. So God runs behind His devotees. To God, devotees are very dear, so dear.

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

Angels
They are very jealous of human beings, the angels, because as human being you can experience Divine Love. So they have to be born as human beings in order to become a devotee, in order to experience Divine Love.

Knowledge is very simple and so it is not too easy. The seed of knowledge is present in the consciousness. It does not bring fulfillment.. It increases the thirst, hunger for the truth.

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

The Human Body
There is hope for every soul, for every human being, to live unconditional love. That is why human body is so precious---because in this body you have the ability to erase all the unwanted negative impressions.

Impatience means hurry in mind, lethargy means slowness in action. Patience in mind and dynamism in action is the right formula.

Grow 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.

This Drama
What is it you are hanging on to? How long will you continue this play, this drama? What is happening? Hmm?

“Impatience means hurry in mind, lethargy means slowness in action. Patience in mind and dynamism in action is the right formula.” SRI SRI...

"The fragrance of flowers spreads only in the direction of the wind. But the goodness of a person spreads in all directions"

"Adopt spirituality, be faithful to your religion, and honour all religions" Sri Sri

Basic Questions
Very basic questions, we don't ask---silly questions we keep asking in our mind. A problem comes: "Why this problem for me?" You ask this question one thousand times. "Why me?"

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

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

Eliminating Doubt
Doubt is that state of mind where it is not fully alive. Answers cannot satisfy doubt. Hearing, seeing cannot eliminate doubt. Only prana can eliminate doubt.

Quick -- Meditate!
When doubts arise in you: fast, meditate, do pranayam, and do prayers, and see whether the doubt will remain.

Knowledge
Knowledge is being aware of the phenomenon of the mind; of what is happening right now in the mind ..

Totally Responsible
Your worries, your feelings, your thoughts arise in your own mind. You are totally responsible for all your feelings---how you feel, what you think, what you do---all that. You are responsible.

“Be light. Smile. Drop. Learn the tendency to drop and smile and move through.” SRI SRI...

If you don't see HIM in the laughter of a child, then you have never heard the laughter of a child. If you have never seen HIM in the twinkle of an eye, in the wink of an eye of a youth, then you have never observed real beauty.

“Seva is your inner attitude - not the action. Inside your body, in your heart, have this attitude - I am here, available.” SRI SRI...

Ignorant people make a dream into reality, and enlightened people see reality as a dream. Utter ignorance is trying to interpret dreams, and enlightenment is to realize that this reality itself is a dream.

“The sign of enlightenment is no complaints and no explanations!.” SRI SRI...

Life evaporates in desire, but if life could be condensed, it becomes solidified love. This condensed life is awareness.

Life is Enthusiasm. Life is Joy. Life is Love. Let's move together and celebrate...

The mind plays so many tricks! The mind is always charmed by distance. We are not charmed by God because He is very close to us, He is the nearest to us. So the mind tries to keep God at a very big distance.

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

Offer Everything
Go to a Guru and offer everything. Offer all that you cannot handle yourself - your anger, your frustration, all the bad feelings, the good feelings... offer the good, the bad, the negative, the positive karma - offer everything.

Intoxicating Love
Intoxicating love does not excite you - it brings a cooling influence in you. It's such a peaceful, restful love. It's something devoid of feverishness.

"When people are worried and tense, they go to bars and drink. If they can only get into satsang and dance, that intoxication can take off all their worries. " Sri Sri

“When you make service your sole purpose in life, it eliminates fear, focuses your mind and givee you meaning.” SRI SRI...
