Time, Mind and Samadhi
When the mind is happy, it expands; then time feels too short. When the mind is unhappy, it contracts; then time feels too long. When the mind is in equanimity, it transcends time.
Pain
Every pain that you undergo in this process is for the higher growth. A seed has pain to sprout, and a sprout has pain to become bigger.
Play
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.
Nectar and Poison
In every breath there is Divine nectar. There is nectar that flows out of it. Or poison can flow.
You sit and think
you sit and feel. Do you think that feeling just remains with you? It reaches far beyond this universe.
Root cause of Depression
Be active, but not obsessed with or feverish about fulfilling desires because that is the root cause of depression. If you are depressed, underneath the depression, is a lingering desire.
Looking Ahead
Where will we be in 5,000 years? What is going to happen in 5,000 years? Have a bigger plan! In 10,000 years, what is going to happen? Where will you be?
Problems
Many problems have come, many problems have been solved, and each problem has enriched life in some way, has brought up some strength in you.
The Perpetual Dance
In nature, both destruction and creation are complementary. They are two steps---like day and night. All opposite values in nature, they all dance together. It has been that way since the beginning. It'll continue 'til the end.
However it is...
Your life, itself, is a celebration of the Infinity, the Divine---however it is.
