– Bliss is the highest dimension of joy. The first is pleasure — that is animal. The second is happiness — that is human. And bliss is divine. Sex is animal, love is human, prayer is divine. In love there may be sex, there may not be. In prayer there is no possibility of sex, […]
My effort is to help you to drop the division, to drop the schizophrenia which has been perpetuated in the name of religion. Religion has not proved a blessing. It has proved to be the greatest calamity. Jesus, Buddha, Zarathustra, are blessings, but Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, are not. All the great masters of the […]
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 […]
If you can love totally, unconditionally, then godliness is not far away. Then godliness is in the very heartbeat of your being. Wherever love is, God is. Love is the fragrance of God’s presence. So remember this, and destroy all that society has created in you to prevent you from remembering your reality. We are […]

Knowledge is easy and cheap. One can accumulate as much as one wants, one can it from others. But wisdom is costly, very precious. One has to pay for it with great effort, awareness, meditativeness. Nobody can give it to you and nobody can take it away from you, It is absolutely your individual effort […]
Love needs great courage. In fact, nothing needs more courage than love because the basic requirement of love is to die as an ego. Only when you dissolve your ego does love start flowing in you. The ego is the barrier and it needs guts to drop it. One clings, one thinks that one is […]
We are all carrying a star of infinite beauty within ourselves. We are stars. Of course, we are surrounded by much smoke and clouds and if one looks from the outside, nothing of the star can be found. The function of meditation is to penetrate through these dark clouds that surround you, and to reach […]
Knowledge is available from the outside. Knowing needs an inner Purification. Knowledge is information, knowing is your capacity to see, to understand. Knowledge never transforms anybody. It can make you a great scholar, but to be a scholar is to be nothing but a parrot. The scholar simply repeats: he is a gramophone record, neither […]
