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.

Demanding

When you demand love, you are destroying love.

Separateness
The ego is simply an illusion. "Ego" means separateness, that's all.

As long as there is ego, there is no Divine Love
As long as there is ego, there is no Divine Love and when there is Divine Love, the ego---there is no sign of it.

The Pain of Separation
Longing, the pain of separation, increases the love in you. That increases the prayerfulness in you.

Loving Objects
A person who cannot love people, starts loving objects.

Closing Down
Our love---capacity to love---everybody has, but they have not utilized it. We have not thrown ourselves open. We have closed into our small, "my, my, me, me, mine."

Love is sharing
love is expansion. You can't but love, because you want to expand! And nature of life is to expand.

Feverishness
The feverishness in us destroys the joy.

Void of Feverishness
This intoxicating Love does not excite you, but brings a cooling influence in you. It's such a peaceful, restful Love. It's something void of the feverishness.

The 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.

Life Everywhere
Everywhere in creation, it's all filled with life, life, life---everywhere.

He searches for you, wherever you are
God comes and searches for you. He'll search, and he will take you wherever you are.

Longing and Love
There can't be love without longing and there can't be longing without love.

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

Ego dissolves like the dew drops with the sun.
When there is Love, there is no ego

Longing
Longing is part of love, is the other face of love.

We want to possess love
In the act of possessing, we destroy love.

Nearness and Distance
Love cannot tolerate distance, and hatred cannot tolerate nearness.


The Ultimate Prerequisite
When there is no peace, forget about God, forget about Truth, forget about Divinity, forget about everything else. The first requirement is peace.

Celebration
Celebration happens when the mind unites with the spirit.

Little and Big
Within this small body, you are able to experience the infinite space.

Ego Trip
Someone experiences bliss, and that bliss, itself, becomes a trip for the ego. So the ego, in turn, destroys the infinity, the joy, the bliss.

Love Sustains Bliss
Love can sustain the bliss.

Pause
Just singing is not sufficient. One can just go on singing. But in between the songs, a few moments of silence, of depth, of experiencing the bliss of the infinite---that is very essential.

Churning the Mind
Life is the process of "churning." Your mind is being churned by so many things, events happening. Your mind is churned and churned and churned, and finally, the "butter" comes---it's the sainthood, the saintliness in you.

Fear
Fear is lack of love. Only one thing can eliminate fear---that is love.

Demands on God
God is not there just to fulfill your petty demands.

In the Company of Love
In the company of one who is living Love, you also cant but spring into that Love.

Simplicity
Something that is simple, the mind cannot accept. The ego wants very complicated and difficult things.

Innermost Self
In your innermost Self---in its purity and clarity---you are not different from God.

Maturing Intellect
When the intellect starts maturing, it starts questioning the source of creation.

Misunderstanding
Misunderstandings happen on this planet because of distance, because there is no closeness, no one ever "sits next to" the other. In one house people live on different planets. In a town, people live in different galaxies.

The Foundation of Knowledge
Knowledge is possible only when you come close. From a distance, and in a formal atmosphere, knowledge cannot blossom...Being together is the foundation of knowledge.
