The Formless
The formless is ruling your life. The formless is ruling the world. And there is a greater formlessness that is ruling the entire creation. And you are the center of that greater formlessness, whatever you call it---God, Consciousness, No-Mind, Nirvana, Spirit, anything you call it by name.

Sorrow
Sorrow needs to be lived through and gotten rid of. It should not be suppressed.

Love and Hate
Love cannot tolerate distance, and hatred cannot tolerate nearness.

Meditation and Death
Meditation is very similar to this experience of void. In meditation you realize you are not just the body, but you are more than the body. That annihilates the fear of death.

God Loves Fun
Nature loves to give you surprises. God loves fun. He always gives you surprises---sometimes pleasant, sometimes unpleasant. And you grow by unpleasant as well as by pleasant. In fact you grow much more by unpleasant surprises than the pleasant ones.

Observe, Don't Identify
Observe the tendencies that come up in you, and do not think you *are* those tendencies.

The Way Out of Ignorance
The way to come out of ignorance is a definite understanding, a definite knowledge in the mind, that my body is undergoing change all the time, the world is undergoing change all the time, the entire universe is in a state of fluidity and it is all full of change and it is going on on its own, according to its nature.

Knowledge about Self
This body is all hollow and empty, and every particle in this body is changing, and changing, and see this definite knowledge, that I am not the body, I am the Self, I am the space, I am the Imperishable, untouched, untainted by the "prakriti," by this world around me.

A Point In Us
There is a point in us that will remain ever pure, total joy, and bliss---bliss that can never be taken away from us.

Untouched
The very purpose for being in this body, for every one of us, is to live and rejoice in that virgin area, that untouched, pure and ever green, blissful area of our Self.

Intense Joy
When we get in touch with the source of life, then all of other tensions, worries which have been clouding this manifestation, fall off and we can sing, dance, and be happy. Life can become very intense, intense in the sense of being joyful.

What do you Want in Life?
What is it that one wants in life? It is joy, is love. And that is one's very nature.

No Way
There is no way---not by any action or by words---that you can ever convince anybody that you really love them. The more we try to do it, the more we are doing the contrary.

All Pain
That feverishness to achieve what you want is all painful. When you have it, the fear of losing it is painful. When it is gone, the memory of its joy is painful. So the whole thing is all pain!

Spiritual Practices..
If you do spiritual practices, to do that needs an effort---that is painful.

Don't Get Lost
The whole world is here for you to enjoy, but when enjoying, don't forget your SELF.

Dynamic
Everything in this universe is dynamic. There is nothing that is static.

Pleasure & Pain
This entire universe is there to give you pleasure and release. Whatever gives you pleasure should also give relief. Otherwise, the very pleasure becomes pain.

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!"

Self Is the Center
The Self is the center of the whole creation.

Every Inch Filled with Bliss
For one who has awakened in knowledge, there is no more suffering. The world appears completely different. For him every inch of this creation is filled with bliss, is a part of the Self.

Deep into yourself
The Divine is only waiting for you to dig a little deeper into yourself, that is all.

The Sattvic Intellect
The sattvic intellect is one that just does the job joyfully and is unmindful of the results. Let things happen or not happen---either way they don't lose their enthusiasm.

Lack of Understanding
Lack of understanding of life causes fear. People are afraid of love, people are afraid of meditation, people are afraid of death, people are afraid of themselves.
Ignorance, lack of awareness, is cause of fear. Just a glimpse of the Being, of the
Self that you are, that you are beyond death, roots out the fear totally.

Knowledge of Death
Knowledge of death makes you immortal. It's wrong to even say, "makes you immortal." It makes you aware that you are immortal, anyway.
