A divine voice is always there in the heart, always calling you. But you are not available; you are engaged in mundane affairs, in ordinary things. Your mind is full of unnecessary rubbish, busy without business. So you go on missing the still small voice within. Once the mind is silent, once thoughts disappear, once […]
Man needs integration, an integration of all the fragments into one whole, into one harmony. And that is the whole effort of religion. The very word religion means that which binds you together. That’s exactly the meaning of yoga too; yoga means union. Religion and yoga are synonymous. When you become crystallized, when you become […]

To be spontaneously loving, naturally loving, is to be religious. Religion has nothing to do with worshipping Jesus or Buddha or Krishna. It has nothing to do with chanting mantras, it has nothing to do with all kinds of rituals being done in the churches and the temples. It has nothing to do with all […]
Don’t keep yourself separate. Seeing a rose, become the rose. Seeing the sunset, be lost in it. Don’t remain aloof, cold. Don’t remain just a spectator, become a participant. Seeing the sky full of stars, become part of it, a small star. But participate in the dance. To me that’s what religion is: dissolving oneself […]
