Man has lived at war too much. Outside he fights with others, inside he fights with himself, as if he knows only one way to live and that is fighting. In the name of politics, fight with others; in the name of religion, fight with yourself. This is why we have created misery. Fighting cannot […]
I am giving you a totally new vision of religion. It is not based on fear, it is rooted in fearlessness. So I don’t teach you any dogma, any belief system, any philosophy. I simply give you the science of going in, of waking up your soul. And nobody else can do that for you. […]
With ego, life is a misery because if you are rooted in something false you cannot celebrate. Only truth can release the energies Celebration in you. Only truth can become a song in your heart. The ego is the greatest lie, it stinks; because it is a lie, it creates a thousand and one problems […]
God is not a belief but a vision. To believe in God is absolutely nonessential. It is like a blind man believing in light, or a deaf person believing in music. They can’t conceive of what they are believing in, they can’t even imagine it. Their beliefs are deceptions, but that is not so important: […]
Just as breathing and the circulation of the blood, food, nourishment are necessary for the existence of the body, so bliss is necessary for the soul. But a little digging inside is needed so that we can uncover the undercurrent. Once you have known your blissfulness, the source of it, your whole vision changes, your […]
Those who say they don’t believe in God also belong to God. Those who turn their backs toward God also belong to God; and as far as God is concerned, they are all saved. This whole universe is already in the ultimate state: we have just forgotten. We have forgotten that we need not do […]

Wisdom is not knowledge, it is conquering the unconsciousness, it is full of light. Not even islands of darkness […]
You have to be a ruler of the inner world. We have a king-dom inside the true kingdom. We all want to become kings, but we go on searching in the wrong direction, we go on searching outside. One can become a worldly king, but still, deep down, know that one has missed. One is […]
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 […]
A dance is pure when the dancer dissolves into it, when the dancer is no longer there, when you cannot find the dancer and only the dance remains. That’s what meditation is sannyas is, ecstasy is, and ultimately that’s what existence is. Slowly, slowly, learn how to dissolve. Dissolve in any act, then that act […]
