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 […]

From this moment, start looking at everything as a blessing. And when I say everything, I mean everything. Even when you sometimes feel pain it is a blessing. You may not under-stand, but it is a blessing. One day you will understand and you will see that it was a blessing, that it was needed, […]
