Who's Who

You are as important in this creation as God, not less important.

Oh, Dear, this creation is a celebration of Thy Presence.

Whether the bark or the thorn,

In tears of joy, in tears of sorrow,

Everything in this creation glorifies everything else.

Steadiness
When you sit for meditation, are your eyes steady? Is your breath steady? Is the prana haphazard? Is it going smooth and steady or going haphazard? When the senses are steady, the soul also becomes peaceful. Your Being, your spirit inside you, becomes steady.

Signs of Celebration
Everything in this creation is a sign of celebration.

Looking for the Unseen
A hand unseen is behind this creation, and every pair of eyes is looking for that hand, which is not seen. Wherever one looks, one is looking for that hand which is behind and unseen.

Purpose of a Flower
If a flower does not remind you of the eternal Truth, then it has not fulfilled its purpose.

If you don't see Him
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, you have never observed the real beauty.

Guilt and Forgiveness
If you make someone feel guilty about their mistake, then you have not forgiven them. That guilt itself is a punishment

Real Forgiveness
Your forgiveness should be such that the person who is being forgiven does not even know that you are forgiving them. They don't even feel guilty of a mistake. That is the right type of forgiveness.

A Wall of Pride
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.

Samadhi
Though you exist with a body, in the state of samadhi you are not there at all. In other words you can say, live as though you don't exist--this is samadhi.

Be Proud of Love
Be proud of the Love. Have you ever been proud of Love? That is beautiful. Be proud of the Love that the Nature is giving to you, the Divine is giving to you, the people are giving to you.

Take Life as a Play
Take life not serious. If you take life very serious, then you are bound to be disturbed. The only way you can maintain your equanimity is to take it as a play, as a game, and not take anything too serious.

Seer, Seen and Process of Seeing
The seers, the seen, and the process of seeing all merge. The knowledge, the knower, and the known, they all merge, become one---that is Divine Love.

Drop it!
To live totally in the present moment, offer all that you have done, all your activities. Drop them, surrender them. It's done. Finished. Drop it.

Desire for the Highest
Make your desire bigger. Desire for the highest. Don't go for anything smaller than that. Hm? Then also Divine Love dawns in you.

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.

Fame
This feverishness of fame, of pride, of social recognition is immaturity. Just wake up and see there is nothing much in it. Its an empty bowl.
