When you chant "Aum" or any mantra, do so softly and gently. Extend the sound. Focus your awareness on the sound of the mantra and become absorbed in it.
As you absorb more mystical kundalini, you will able to perform a few minor miracles. As you do this, you run a great risk of egotism. Some people handle it well; some don't.
Power, people are obsessed with it. You can take a nice person and turn them into a slob, into an insane being, craving power, destroying anything that stands in their way.
As you progress towards enlightenment you will find that you become a winner at anything, not because you are so concerned about winning anymore. You are just concerned about the pursuit of excellence.
There's no way we can possibly understand anything. But we can see things, we can perceive things, and we can wonder. We can just be in a world of awe and wonder. That's the best we can do.
Truth occurs in unusual places. Sometimes it's in the frozen food section of the supermarket, sometimes it appears while you are waiting for your car to be fixed, sometimes you see it while in bed with someone you love, sometimes you find it while you're meditating on a lone mountain.
Our sense of being worthwhile, our sense of being good, our sense of being anything must go - Final clearance sale.
You need to search your awareness and consider the limitless possibilities of existence in all things and not be so narrow-minded in your self-discovery.
When we lack etiquette, we trash things. We trash each other. We trash the environment. We lose sight of the value of things. We suffer alienation when our spirit is disconnected from our physical awareness.
I was a traditional teacher for a time, but my students would ride the energy. I wanted to free people not give them a placebo.
The way advanced meditation is taught, the way I teach it, the way all enlightened people teach it, is through transference. We transfer light and power to someone else.
The body will blossom and fade, but you will remain after this body of yours has gone away. This knowledge allows you to love the body without attachment. Thus, the body becomes absolutely pure.
The scriptures recommend love and service to the enlightened to develop purity.
Purity is also developed in action. Purity is developed when we love.
When the mind is not only silent, but that part of the mind that could become conscious that the mind is silent dissolves in light, then we see and feel purity. We become it, the purity of the eternal light.
Ego is impurity. Be selfless. Consecrate and dedicate your life to perfection.
To run away from life and desire is impossible because you are life and you have desire. Accept that this is part of your physical condition and see that these aspects are not really indigenous to what you are.
Accept that you are that - you are the matchless, eternal reality. That's true seeing, true humility.
Humility means that you have the courage to accept that you are eternity itself.
There is nothing that isn't perfect, the only reason we don't see that perfection constantly is because we lack humility.
If you really have humility when you love, there is only one thought: "What can I do for my beloved?"
If you suffer in love, if you have problems in love, it's because you don't have enough humility.
When you admire others, you become one with them and the world loves you.
Every day work on your humility through your meditation, giving more of yourself, giving those things you don't want to give.
In meditation the mind stops, thought ceases. When thought stops, the world stops. When the world stops, perception stops. When perception stops, the sense of "I" as a perceiver falls away.
