When the way you think and the way you live become one,
then you can exist with minimum conflict in the society
and attain a state of equilibrium with life around you.

Sadhana is a sincere demand from within a human being
to resolve the conflict that is not allowing him or her to be in harmony with nature.

As far as I'm concerned, that's all that is there.

Facing life
and
understanding life
are two different things.

Do what you do best.
Don't put your head into anything else,
because it's all useless.

Earn money,
stand on your feet,
walk with your head high,
never impose yourself on anyone,
and don't let anyone impose themselves on you.

Freedom, if any, is only that.
There is no ultimate freedom or truth.

Hope in your mind is the only eternal thing,
everything else is constantly changing.

No mother bird can make its baby fly. The baby will have to get the cue from the mother and fly on its own. Period.

We are no different. But we have been told that somebody else can solve our problems.

There is nothing one can talk about, look at or listen to without conditioning. Whatever you hear and see is through those filters of conditioning.

You are the result of conditioning.
There is nothing you can do about it. 

Knowledge has become an addiction, the way we all are addicted to our cell phones. You have forgotten all about the quality of life.
You think the only signal that is there, is through the knowledge game.

How can there be any teaching?
It's impossible.
Life learns by itself.
All attributes are present within life. 

All you will know is knowledge.
Then you will be tired of the
knowledge-gathering mechanism,
because knowledge is like an endlessly growing mushroom. 

Investing in anything is learning more.
What is the outcome in your brain?
Knowledge. What else?
Experience has no meaning to you until it turns itself into knowledge. 

Seeing things "as is" is simple,
yet very difficult as far as
the thinking mind is concerned.

Such complexity! Isn't it?

We are born to see things as they are, but we live to see as they are not. 

Joy is the outcome of the production of healthy chemicals. If it happens without any cause, that is the best.
The joy which we are habituated to, is always preceded by a cause. 

Ideas

cannot

capture

life.

Relationship means you want to impose your ideas on others.

It breaks down eventually.

If you have any respect for life,
you cannot look at anybody other than just the way you are.

Even now, I often
don't know what to do.
But most of the time,
I know very well what not to do. 

Life doesn't run on a formula,
it's not a science.

There is the functionality and there is knowledge about the functionality.

They don't touch each other.

Your search for something everlasting is an illusion. You only get that idea from somebody's else's delusion. 

This body wants to function efficiently by handling the challenges of the present moment.

Its operation is far more
dynamic and alive,
unshackled by the
ideas of a particular state or goal.

There is nothing
more sacred
than your own life. 

To address our well-being,
we have to address the well-being of other living things on this planet.

One cannot give up the search.
Because to give up the search,
the mind needs to
justify something better. 

Life has its own rhythm and flow.
It doesn't seem to care one bit about
what you feel, say, think, have or know.

A tsunami here or a nuclear attack there will decimate you in a moment. 

Meditation is the complete suspension of your intentions.

If there is no intention,
there's no conflict. 

What you want to do
is not important,
what you end up doing is
what you really are.

Fear

won't

allow

you

to

face

life.
