Your honesty, Your love, Your compassion should come from your inner being, not from teachings and scriptures.
A very sensitive person in this stupid world is bound to become mad.... Only meditation can save him from becoming mad.
When sadness comes, accept it. Listen to its song. It has something to give to you. It has a gift which no happiness can give to you, only sadness can give it.
Surrendering means non-desiring.
The less people know, the more stubbornly they know it.
Get out of your head and get into your heart. Think less, feel more.
When mind knows, we call it knowledge. When heart knows, we call it love. And when being knows, we call it meditation.
Life is a mystery,but man wants to reduce it to a problem!
Only people who carry the opinions of others need the support of others.
Man is always exploited through fear.
God is not in heaven - God is in the present moment. If you are also in the present moment you enter the temple.
Belief is a deception you play upon yourself.
God is the very creative energy of existence - creativity rather than a creator. He is not the poet but the poetry, not the dancer but the dance, not the flower but the fragrance.
Always go with the river of life. Never try to go against the current, and never try to go faster than the river. Just move in absolute relaxation, so that each moment you are at home, at ease, at peace with existence.
Never be ashamed of your tears. Be proud that you are still natural. Be proud that you can express the inexpressible through your tears.
Nobody is here to fulfill your dream. Everybody is here to fulfill his own destiny, his own reality.
There are six senses: five are outer; they tell you about the world. I say something about the light; without eyes you will not know light. Ears say something about the sound; without ears you will not know anything about the sound. There is a sixth sense, the inner sense, that shows and tells you something about yourself and the ultimate source of things. That sense has to be discovered. Meditation is nothing but the discovery of the inner sense.
Don't be angry at life. It is not life that is frustrating you, it is you who are not listening to life.
Meaning is man-created. And because you constantly look for meaning, you start to feel meaninglessness.
Drop the idea of becoming someone, because you are already a masterpiece. You cannot be improved. You have only to come to it, to know it, to realize it.
Reality has no security and that is its beauty. Life has no security and that is its beauty. Because there is no security, there is adventure. Because the future is unknown, nobody knows what is going to happen the next moment. That's why there is challenge, growth, adventure. If you miss adventure, you miss all. If your life is not that of an adventure, of a search into the unknown, then you are living in vain.
Love can never possess. Love is giving freedom to the other. Love is an unconditional gift, it is not a bargain.
Be - don't try to become. Being is enlightenment, becoming is ignorance.
Paradise is within you, in your state of no-mind. And hell is also within you, in your very mind.
Respect your uniqueness, and drop comparison. Relax into your being.
