Remember again and again: seeing the sky, know that you are also the sky; seeing the stars, know that the stars are within you. You are within the sky, the sky is within you. Slowly, slowly, your whole gestalt will change and in that new gestalt small problems can’t arise, they become ridiculous. Somebody has […]
– Man is born only as an opportunity. He has great potential, but remember, a potential is only a potential. It has to be transformed into a reality, it has to be actualized. And great effort is needed. It is an uphill task. One has to be industrious, one cannot attain bliss just by hoping […]
There is an idea that existence is totally indifferent to us. It is not so. This is a stupid idea that has come into the mind of man because of scientific progress. Science has given many blessings to man, but certain curses have also come in the wake of it. It has made man’s body […]
Prayer is not scientific. But meditation is utterly scientific. Just as the scientist watches, observes the objective phenomenon, the meditator watches the psychological phenomenon, It is the same process: a detached watching, unprejudiced observation with no conclusions — because if you have a conclusion already, there is no point in watching.

Find time and space, and make it a point to meditate, In the beginning it is difficult, but remain patient. All that is needed is patience. And remain hopeful, optimistic, because it is only a question of time. It is just like when you sow seeds: you can’t expect the shoots the next day. They […]
The journey toward oneself needs great patience. But we have become so impatient. Man has lost the unhurried way of life, particularly in this century. He is always in a hurry, he wants everything immediately. He thinks that everything is like instant coffee. But there are a few things that need great patience. Not that […]
Godhas no form, no name, no definition. God idefinable, indescribable, inexpressible. Hence whatsoever has been said about God is all wrong. The moment it is said, it becomes wrong. One can be right about God only if one remains silent. Utter a single word and you have missed the point. Nothing can be said about […]
