'Is
enlightenment really possible for the average person? Yes. Big
Yes. Enlightenment is very possible for the ordinary individual.
Actually it is easier than for some one who thinks that they are
special.... whenever someone is ordinary, simple, innocent and
natural, that is enlightenment'
'THE
day you feel hopeless, horrible, and worse, on that day get out
of your room and ask people, What can I do you for you? That
service you have done that day will bring a revolution inside
you. It will change your whole gramophone record.'
‘LOVE is seeing God in the person next to us, and meditation
is seeing God within us.’
‘THE more we open ourselves, the more room we will have for
God to fill us’
‘A PRAYER Give me not thirst if you cannot give me water. Give
me not hunger if you cannot give me food. Give me not joy if I
cannot share. Give me not the skills if I cannot put them to
good use.’
‘IN
science you have knowledge first, and then FAITH follows. In
spirituality, faith comes first, and then Knowledge follows. For
example, the knowledge that pesticides and chemical fertilizers
are good for plants came through science, and people had faith
in it, and all over the world they were used. And then another
knowledge came that they were not good and the faith shifted to
organic farming. The same with antibiotics. The knowledge
brought faith, the knowledge changed, and then faith changed.’
‘ENLIGHTENMENT is the very core of our being; going into the
core of our self and living our life from there. We all came
into this world gifted with innocence, but gradually, as we
became more intelligent, we lost our innocence. We were born
with silence, and as we grew up, we lost the silence and were
filled with words. We lived in our hearts, and as time passed,
we moved into our heads. Now the reversal of this journey is
enlightenment.’
‘ IT is the journey from head back to the heart, from words,
back to silence; getting back to our innocence in spite of our
intelligence. Although very simple, this is a great achievement.
Knowledge should lead you to that beautiful point of "I
don't know." The purpose of knowledge is ignorance. The
completion of knowledge will lead you to amazement and wonder.
It makes you aware of this existence. Mysteries are to be lived,
not understood. One can live life so fully in its completeness,
in its totality.’
‘OUR breath plays a very important role. The breath is the
connecting link between the inner world of the mind and the
outer world of body and environment. You see, there are seven
levels of existence, body, mind, intellect, memory, ego and
being. Meditation works by bringing an effort from the level of
being to the mind. With the breath we bring this effect to the
physical level as well.’
’FEAR is egocentric. Worship is the only way to let go of the
fear. In worship you say, "It's all you, and you, and
you.’
OUR
ego wants to do something that is very difficult. The ego is not
ready to accept something simple, something natural, and
something that is easily available. The nature of the ego is to
do difficult things, not simple ones’
'THE direction of life is towards one thing: that is love. You be
prosperous and have no love, that prosperity has no value. You
are on spiritual path but you don't experience, then that
spiritual path is no path, it is very dry: it's all up here.’
