Ultimate Flowering
Love is the ultimate flowering, and you cannot force it to happen. It is a gift to you, again, it's a gift to you. It's a happening, a spontaneous phenomenon. Ahh - we can drop all the obstacles that we might put for it to happen.

Breath is the Link
Breath is the link between your body and your spirit and your mind.

Celebration
Celebration happens when the mind unites with the spirit.

Love
Love is a happening, a phenomenon. Can you create love inside you? It is not possible

Wake up and Realize
Wake up and realize this is all made up of thoughts, just thoughts, just thoughts. Your appreciation of beauty is a thought, your aversion to an object that is ugly is a thought. Your craving or aversion is nothing but a passing thought in the mind. Realize this is just a thought and you will be free.

Compassion or Forgiveness
Compassion is better than forgiveness. The very word "forgiveness" implies that there is an intention in somebody's mistake. Somebody is bad so you are going to "forgive" them. Peep into their heart. Go beyond their words, beyond their behavior---you will see, they need compassion, they need help.

Mistakes
When something wrong happens, we either blame ourselves or blame somebody else. We don't just take things as they are, we want to find out a reason, and label it, and put the blame on somebody else. Or, on ourselves.

When You Let Go
Regret piles up and piles up and it becomes so big---and you blow up. Do you see this happening to you? When you let go, your mind can be in the present moment, more and more and more and more. You are able to smile and laugh from the depth of your heart. Life becomes more light and easy.

concepts
Your own concepts have created "walls" and so you need a "door." But when there are no concepts, there are no walls.

Past or Future
Observe your mind---it's either in the past or in the future. Do you see that? We regret the past and are anxious about the future.

Emotions and Sensations
Every mood of mind, every wave of emotion in us, has a corresponding rhythym in the breath. And this rhythym in the breath has a corresponding sensation in different parts of the body. They're all linked. And when we look at them, observe them, then life becomes more integrated.

Getting old
Though you may feel, "I am going to die, I am old getting old," - this is superficial. Deep down inside you, you know for sure you are not.

Feel the Presence
In the presence of one who is so quiet, you can feel a Presence. It's not an intellectual something, but in an experiential way you feel a Presence. It's very subtle.

Illusion
The self as a different entity, an object, is what people are trying to see. That is an illusion.

Real Game
When "winning" and "losing" don't have any meaning, that is when the real game happens, play happens. Otherwise it is war. War has a significance for winning or losing.
