Life consists of small things , but if you rejoice , you transform those ordinary things into something extraordinary . Even if you rejoice eating your food, it becomes sacred. If you rejoice cleaning the floor, it becomes prayer. If you rejoice cooking food for your friends, for your lover,for your children ,for your parents […]
Life is an opportunity, an opportunity to realize yourself. It is possible to miss it, and many do; only a few very rare people fulfill it. Those few who fulfill it are the ones who enter their inner world. To go on remaining concerned about money, power and prestige is a sheer wastage. One’s primary […]
Existence is like an ocean and we are waves dancing in the sun, singing in the sun, disappearing again and again and appearing again and again. There is no birth, no death – we are eternal. Only superficially does it appear that a wave is born and then dies, but that is just superficial because […]
If one can sing a little, if one can share one’s joy a little, if one can express one’s being a little, that’s enough; in fact more than enough. We are very miserly, we don’t share. This is the greatest calamity that can happen to any man, and it has happened to the whole of […]

The body lives through breathing; once the breathing stops, the body dies. The soul exists through loving, but many people don’t have a soul because they never start loving. They just assume that they have a soul, but they don’t. Potentially of course they do, and if they start loving, it will become a reality. […]
Everybody has the seed to become a beautiful flower of love, a lotus. But very few people have been able to become it, for the simple reason that very few people are alert; they can’t discriminate what is what. Watch how many things are pretending to be love. If they are love, they cannot create […]
Laughter is one of the most divine experiences, but very few people really laugh. Their laughter is shallow.
