Our whole life is a fooling around. You can do it because you are not aware of how you waste time, how you waste energy - how life is wasted you are not aware. It is going down the drain. Everything is going down the drain. Only when death comes to you, you may become aware, alert: What have I been doing? What have I done with life? A great opportunity has been lost. What was I doing fooling around? I was not sober. I never reflected upon what I was doing.
Life is not static. If life were static there would be no need for meditation. The mind would do. Then you could think, and whenever, after many lives, you knocked at the door, the girl would be waiting for you. But life is a flux, a movement. Every moment it is changing and becoming new. If you miss a moment, you have missed.
Misery comes the moment you become clinging, attached. The moment you put conditions on life.
This very moment you can drop all problems because they are your creation.
Die each moment so that you are renewed each moment.
Instead of pleasing, learn the art of happiness.
Life is absolutely balanced between the positive and the negative. Now it is your choice which side you want to be - in heaven or in hell.
Your real being only flowers with unconditional love. Ambition is against love. Anything that is against love is against you and your real life.
Life is a mystery, and there is nothing to explain everything is just open, it is in front of you. Encounter it! Meet it! Be courageous!
Love is not manageable, it is simply something that happens, and the moment you try to manage it everything misfire.
Life is not somewhere waiting for you, it is happening in you. It is not in the future as a goal to be arrived at, it is herenow, this very moment - in your breathing, circulating in your blood, beating in your heart. Whatsoever you are is your life, and if you start seeking meaning somewhere else, you will miss it. Man has done that for centuries.
Freedom is our most precious treasure. Don't lose it for anything. . . .
By 'Love' people mean a certain kind of monopoly understanding a simple fact: that the moment you possess a living being you have killed him.
Don't get attached to anything.
In this life, your so-called ordinary life, you must be rooted; and in your inner space, in the spiritual life, you must be weightless and flying and flowing, floating.
Remember: life is a rhythm between day and night, summer and winter. It is a continuous rhythm. Never stop anywhere! Be moving! And the bigger the swing, the deeper your experience will be.
The whole of life has become an institution, a madhouse in which duties are to be fulfilled not love; in which you have to behave, not be spontaneous; in which a pattern has to be followed, not the overflow of life and energy. That's why the mind thinks and decides everything, because there is danger.
You become that which you think you are. Or, it is not that you become it, but that the idea gets very deeply rooted and that's what all conditioning is.
All your knowledge is dust. Knowing is your purity, knowledge is dust.
Life is not logic, life is not philosophy. Life is a dance, a song, a celebration! It is more like love and less like logic.
Fools are more healthy then the so-called wise. Thy live in the moment and they know that thy are fools, so thy are not worried about what others think about them.
Don't be serious about seriousness. Laugh about it, be a little foolish. Don't condemn foolishness; it has its own beauties.
It cannot be called freedom, a freedom which can choose only the right and not the wrong; then that is not freedom.
Never obey anyone's command unless it is coming from within you also.
That's why children look so beautiful because they are yet full of hope, full of dreams, and they have not yet known frustration.
