If you teach people faster than they can learn,
you will be in trouble for yourself .
you will be in trouble for yourself .

A mere intellectual study, or reflection, by itself can never lead the student on to the path of real meditation. Meditation is an all out application of a total integrated personality in the search of Truth. The external marks of religiosity are merely physical; deep devotion and reverence are emotional and a clear understanding of the Nature of the Goal and the Path pursued are intellectual aspects of the spiritual life. All the three are unavoidable for success in Meditaion, in as much as we have to bring therein our entire personality.

A Man-of-Perfection has no demand or desire, and therefore, no attachment with the world around him. When he lives in perfect detachment, there is an extra inner freedom of the mind, and the world around him must then fail to convey to him either joy or sorrow. With his bosom emptied of the monstrous ego-sense, he lives fully in his inner happiness, under all conditions and circumstances. Even in hell he cannot be miserable; the Bliss in him is Infinite.

There is no such thing as spirituality; whatever is , is only this worldly life, in the five-elemental play. You are nothing better than vegetation. Just as grass is growing, human beings are growing. Will anybody accept this ? If you are yourself alone, that state will not be felt; but if there is a foreign element, only then the suffering starts. On you, the original, this foreign element is imposed, that is why it is suffering.

What is natural is death; it is life that is unnatural. The whole of the Universe is death manifest, says Buddha, the great seer of our own historical times. The universe is death, as it were, because it is a procession of transitions, a movement, a perpetual transformation of constituents. Do you call it Life ?

Life is considered as a process of transiency by masters like Buddha. They never considered the world as ultimately existent. Nothing in the world IS. Everything passes. Everything moves. Even our awareness of the existence of the world is a process, transitory condition of the activities of the mind, due to which we are said to be living in perpetual anityata.

It is difficult to talk about grace because each person has his own concept of it. Grace is something given by God or the Sadguru whose mind has become silent. In this context its aid in a situation where one is helpless, where one's efforts have come to a stand still, in invaluable. With the help of this grace one is back effectively on the inner journey overcoming the mind's holocaust.

There are several steps to worship, but the first and fundamental one is to be understood that every individual is self-centered. Our whole way of living is as though "I am " is the centre of the whole world. : The moon and the stars rise for me, the birds are flying for my joy and the sun too is giving light for me: the whole world is revolving around me, I am the centre of the whole world. Such a person cannot know worship, feeling that he is at the centre and the rest of the world is his circumference.
In worship you see the opposite : the fundamental law of worship is , " I am on the circumference, the centre is somewhere else."

Arguments begin when names and lables are given, because a personal attachment is formed around names and lables: the name given by you is right and the name given by someone else is wrong. The ego creates this problem. But when only a number is used, the chances of dispute just disappears. If the world had used numbers instead of names and labels, there would never be any conflict.

There are two different things: one is the subjective renunciation, and the other is objective renunciation. If an object, an outside thing, cause pain, naturally you want to renounce it. But subjective renunciation is the natural outcome of a raised consciousness. The true renunciation arises only through Meditation. Meditation is the only way to expand your consciousness. Meditation is the fuel with which the light of inner consciousness can burn brighter and sharper.

To be empty of all uncertainties is the essence of wisdom. But uncertainty will remain until there is an experience of the impreishable. Without that experience, doubt will persist. Please remember that doubt is not destroyed by faith or belief. Doubt cannot be destroyed in any other way except by experience.

The moment you are convinced that greed, desire, ambition, etc, are harming your interests, rather come in your way of happiness as well as peace, you will without any effort keep away from them. They will drop away without any effort only as a result of your convictions; and for this you do not require a Guru. There is no time-space between conviction and experience. The moment you are convinced, you are free.

The Ordainer controls the fate of souls in accordance with their Prarabdha Karma. Whatever is destined not to happen will not happen, try as you may. Whatever is destined to happen will happen , do what you may to prevent it ...... All the activities that the body is to go through are determined when it first comes into existence. It does not rest with you to accept or reject them.

Death is always standing behind us. But man's effort to forget it goes on all the time. He never considers how to live remembering death. Man does not like even the word " DEATH " . If at dinner the word is uttered, we cut it short saying , "How inauspicious ! " . But every step we take is a step that takes us toward death.

Destiny is something that you have been creating unconsciously. You can also create it consciously. You can also rewrite your destiny. All that is being done in the form of spiritual process is just that. If you can touch the core in you, if you can for one moment experience that the source of creation is within you and shift your whole focus to yourself, you can rewrite your own destiny.

Love comes and goes but compassion is a love which, once it comes, never goes. In love, there is a subtle desire to get something from the other. In compassion, there is the awareness that no one has anything to give; and that is why there is compassion. In this state there is no desire even to give, but the effect of such compassion is that all the doors of the heart become wide open and something spontaneously begins to be distributed.

When ignorance knows that it does not really know, it becomes humble. Then there is a possibility that this kind of ignorance can be broken at some time. But if ignorance is under the illusion that it knows, then the ignorance becomes egoistic; it is strengthened by its own arrogance and conceit. It becomes difficult to break. So it is possible that a truly ignorant person can teach the divine, but the arrogant and conceited scholar can never reach.

Whatever we do at present seems to lead to chaos, seems to lead to sorrow and unhappiness. Look at your own life and you will see that our living is always on the border of sorrow. Our work, our social activity, our politics, all produce further war. Destruction follows in the wake of living; whatever we do leads to death. This is what is actually taking place.

If you know, you tell me, share with me. I will be happy and glad to receive it. If you don't know, then I know something. I can share it with you. Then receive it. If both know then there is no need to talk at all. If both don't know, what is the point of talking ? Discussion is meaningless. These are the only possibilities; either we both don't know ? Then we can go on arguing and argument will not bring any conclusion. That's how man has argued down the ages. Great argumentation , to no end. Or, we both know, then there is no point in saying anything.

Man is man, always. He never changes. What man was when the world was created , he is today, also. He is made of the same stuff. He will never change. You rub any man, you find the same substance inside. He may be primitive or the modern cultured, so called educated man. They are all made of the substance, same stuff. They have the same weakness and their desires are of the same character.

We get only that for which we are fitted. Let us give up our pride and understand this : that misery is never undeserved. Analyse yourselves and you will find that every blow you have received came to you because you prepared yourselves for it. You did half and the external world did the other half : that is how the blow came.

Nature gives each person a thumb which is uniquely his/her, which is individual and unrepeatable. Nature keeps such a subtle account that it gives each person a thumb which is uniquely his/her, neither now nor in the future. Several billion people may have lived on the Earth, several billion people may live on the Earth in the future, but my thumbprint will not be repeated.
If nature can bestow so much individuality on each person with regard to a worthless thing like a thumb , then can't it give each person a unique life and a unique soul ? THINK !!!

Do you know of someone whose main function in life seems to be to make themselves and others miserable, to spread unhappiness ?
Forgive them, for they too are part of the awakening of humanity. The role they play represents an intensification of the nightmare of egoic consciousness, the state of non-surrender.

If your speaking is rooted in your mind, ninty percent of speach will vanish. Ninty percent of speech is unnecessary ! And how much trouble is born out of this unnecessary speaking, life goes on becoming more complicated - you cannot imagine how complicated. Only ten percent of your speaking will remain; it will become telegraphic.
When i am not speaking the mind should become silent and empty.

Those who have set out on the search for truth have to become insecure, without support. They have to give up all shelter; only then can they receive the protection of existence. They have to become helpless; only then the help from existence is available.
That is why the sannyasin becomes independent. without support , without shelter. This is the way he lives and will remain with grace of existence.

Every person is born with latent samskara from his past lives. One method will prove easy to one person and another to another. There can be no general rule. Advanced spiritual aspirants quickly realize the Self when given the right instructions by a qualified Guru. The less mature need time to reflect on the Self before realizing it and the third group require many years of intensive spiritual sadhana.

This gross mind cannot comprehend God. God is far beyond both the mind and the intellect. The world that you see is within the domain of the mind. The mind is its author. But through sadhana, a subtle mind opens up. That is already in you in seed form. Through sadhana this seed develops and unfolds, and through that subtle mind you can have this vision of finer truths.

When you get angry, you think someone has made you angry. No, really, you were ready, you were overflowing inside. You don't know because you are not aware. You are overflowing with a certain amount of energy which needs to be released. Someone abuses you, insults you, and you get angry, you think, " This man is anger in me" . No this man is simply giving you a situation to release the overflowing energy in you.

There is no need to wait for tomorrow. You can see it today. And if you cannot see it today, you will not be able to see it tomorrow either, because tomorrow never comes. When tomorrow comes it always comes as today. So it is better to see it today it was also tomorrow, yesterday. So what is great in waiting for tomorrow ?

If you believe you will disbelieve too. Nobody can believe without disbelieving. Let it be settled once for all : nobody can believe without disbelieving. Every belief is a cover up for disbelief.
Belief is only the circumference of the centre called doubt; because the doubt is there you create belief.

The mind cannot wait, it is always in a hurry. It knows nothing about patience; hence it keeps piling questions upon questions without getting the answer.
It is something very delicate to understand; that it is not the answer that is significant but the right timing, your readiness to receive it; otherwise it will just go above your head. The impatient mind is much too occupied in questioning.

Whatever people continue to do or think they are doing, they are purely a concept based on a certain image they have of themselves. And once they act according to that image, they will be susceptable to all kinds of unhappiness. Whatever happens is a mere movement in that consciousness. Once this is understood, nothing remains to be done : there is nothing you can or need to do.

You bear a name to which you answer. But your body was not born with that name written on it, nor did it say to anyone that it bore such and such a name. And yet a name is given to you and you answer to that name, because you have identified yourself with the name. Therefore the name signified something and it is not a mere fiction. Similiarly, God's name is effective. Repetition of the name is rememberance of what it signifies. Hence its merit.

Concentrate on that one whom you like the best. If a single thought prevails, all other thoughts are put off and finally eradicated. So long as diversity prevails there are bad thoughts. When the objects of love prevails only good thoughts hold the field. Therefore hold on to one thought only. DHYANA is the chief practice.

A temple is not a place for bargaining, it is a place for rest and relaxation, where tired and exhausted from all your worldly activities, you can find relief and peace. There are no conditions for entering a temple: that you can only come if you have this much money; that you can only come if you have this much knowledgeability; or you can only come if you have this much prestige - a temple accepts you as you are. It is a place so simple that you are accepted as you are.

Our minds have certain qualities which aid us in this quest. In all the traditions there are stories of the innocent who sets out in quest of wisdom, gold or a sacred object. In the end he returns to where he came from only to understand it was before his very eyes all the time. Why are we blind ? It is a pardox that we first have to comprehend what we have lost before we can begin to appreciate what we have. To become what we are not before we can realize who we are.

When we could see godliness personified within the shape of a temple, something of godliness lingered on in our minds. This was especially so for people who could not visualize the unmanifest divine. For those who could, there was no need for a temple. But in a way these people caused great harm to the temple because they said that temples had no use and that they should be dispensed with.
If temples are destroyed, how would those who cannot visualize the unmanifest form of godliness, ever be able to think of godliness ?
The temple remains a source of inspiration all twenty four hours of your day.

You don't create your body, nor are you able to control the body's functions. An intelligence greater that human mind is at work. It is the same intelligence that sustains all of nature. You cannot get any closer to that intelligence than by being aware of your own inner energy field - by feeling the aliveness, the animating presence within the body.

People worship idols and statues without understanding and bow down before them without knowing why. Their hearts do not participate - it is just a formality that has remained. Such people will only be the cause of the destruction of the idol, because although they worship every day, there is no transformation in their lives, and hence it seems futile to worship an idol or a statue.
An idol or statue is a method meant for total, inner transformation.

Though godliness is everywhere and human beings are also present everywhere, only during specific circumstances within us do we become attuned to that godliness. So temples served as centers of receptivity, to enable us to feel the divine in existence, to feel godliness, and to become spiritually elevated. The whole arrangement in temples was motivated with this in view.

Everything is predetermined in our lifeline. Our body, our mind and life span are already fixed in a groove.
Our one choice is whether to identify with our destiny or not. If we choose to surrender to the " will of God " all will proceed without resistance.
Divine Principle, has allotted to us that providence which will be of the greatest benefit for our release from the wheel of Karma.

What counts in SADHANA is perseverance and steadfastness. After a time Meditation recalls itself spontaneously. Whether or not results of Meditation are obtained is of no importance. The essential is to arrive at stability. It is the most precious thing that one can gain. In any case one must trust with confidence in the Divinity and await HIS Grace without impatience.

A true devotee never comes to demand anything from the Lord except more and more Love for Him, and that this Love in his heart should ever remain steady and grow in its dimension. In short, desire departs from the heart in which Devotion has entered. The very essence of Devotion lies in the spirit of renunciation of all other infatuations and seekings.

With half knowledge we think we are full of wisdom, profound; that is our presumption. When we are without thoughts, then only are we profound. Realize the thought free state. D0n't worry about other people and other things. Do your own research, try to find out how you happen to be.
In the end, both whatever is understood and the one who understands are liquidated. Many people have understood and they have gone into quietude.
