Gain
The entire universe is one whole; and, when someone drops their holding onto limited boundaries, then what they gain is the entire universe.

Govind
When you live in Love, you become so mysterious! That is Govinda. 'Govind' means one who has hidden knowledge, or one who cannot be explained in words, is beyond the words.

See love even where it isn't
Even if people don't like or love you, from your side you consider that they do love you, so that your love, at least, gets protected. Otherwise, when you think somebody doesn't love you, then you will also stop loving them.

Feelings
If you feel you are free, you are free. If you feel you are bound, you are bound.

Meditation
Meditation is THE comfort in Life.

Being Natural
When you are natural, when you don't pretend, then you are very close to the Divine.

Effort won't work
The moment you make an effort to love somebody or to be happy, you cannot.

Love is beyond..
You are made up of both your father and mother; so, within you you have both the characteristics of mother and father, male and female. There are many men who have motherly qualities in them, feminine qualities in them. And then, there are many women who have more male qualities in them. Love is beyond the qualities; Love is beyond male or female. It is not just limited to body or emotions. It is something that transcends all these identifications.

Bondage
The craving for sense objects is bondage. Their existence seems to have given you a little pleasure, so it binds you. Now you crave for it, and it gives you more and more pain.

Trust
The entire world lives on trust. Every aspect in life moves with trust.

Perfection
There is perfection in Nature. You only have to look through a different eye.

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

Doubt
You doubt in the positivity of people, in the goodness of people. You don't doubt in the negativity, or badness, in the people. Do you? Have you ever doubted in somebody's anger toward you? Have you ever said, "Is she really angry"

More Doubt
Just examine, what do you doubt? You doubt always in something good---whether it is in you or in someone else. When you are depressed, you never doubt your depression, but when you are happy you doubt: "Am I really happy? Is this really what I want?" And then you say, "I'm not sure..."

Still More Doubt
In order to trust, you must first understand your doubt. You doubt yourself, and you doubt people around you. And then you doubt in the existence of God.

Conditional Love
We try to hold on to people. Even when we love, we love with a condition: "See, I love you, so in return you must love me."

Compassion
When there is a wound deep inside a person, he will try to share that with other people. What else can he do? You just recognize: "Oh, he needs compassion." Compassion is the only medicine. Unconditional love is the only treatment

Possession
We want to possess love, and in the act of possessing, we destroy love.

Feverishness
The feverishness in us destroys the joy.

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

Give some space ..

Give some space for attraction. When attraction dies out, you will feel love has also died. A space is needed for attraction. And that attraction matures and becomes love; and the love matures and becomes devotion.

When you resist, it persists...
Some feeling came into you, unpleasant feeling, and you said, "Should not come, it should not come!" Doing that, you are resisting it. When you resist, it persists. Just observe. See, "Oh!" Go deep into it. Dance, stand up on your feet and dance. Be intoxicated; move intoxicated.

Look at what you have.
Just look at what you have. Focus on it---because where you put your energy that increases in life.

Thirst for Eternal
Feelings change, thoughts change, ideas change, body is undergoing changes all the time. But the thirst deep within us is for something that is not changing, that is eternal, that is always, that is the same.

Guru is
Infinity is available, but not tangible; the Guru is both infinite and tangible. The Divine is impersonal; the Guru is both personal and Divine - the impersonal personified for your benefit.

Don't look at lack
Don't look at the lack in your life. See what you have. Then abundance increases.

Abundance is a state of mind
Abundance is a state of mind within you. If you just look at "lack," the lack increases in life.

Heart of Divine
There is a place for everybody in the heart of the Divine.

Arrogance
The only thing that God doesn't tolerate is arrogance.

How to drain love
We keep on challenging: "Do you really love me? If you really love me then you won't do like this. You should be doing this way." When we keep some such measuring rods, then we are draining love.

Worship
The best "puja," the best form of worship, is to be happy, to be grateful.

If somebody doesn't love you..
Even if somebody doesn't love you, just go and tell them, "Oh, I know you love me so much." Tell them five or six times see the change in them. Even if they don't love you, they'll start.

However it is...
Your life, itself, is a celebration of the Infinity, the Divine---however it is.

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.

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.

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?

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.

You sit and think
you sit and feel. Do you think that feeling just remains with you? It reaches far beyond this universe.

Nectar and Poison
In every breath there is Divine nectar. There is nectar that flows out of it. Or poison can flow.

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.
