Witness

The right method to deal with all that you feel you are surrounded with is to be just a witness--not to fight, not to judge, not to condemn. Just remain silent and still, purely witnessing whatever is there. ...The day your witnessing will be perfect, you will find there has been no wall, nothing is surrounding you, the whole sky is available to you. Rather than fighting with thoughts, fighting against wrong conditionings, just become a pure witness. Fighting, you cannot win. Without fighting, victory is yours. Victory belongs only to those who witness...

Breath & emotion

The breathing continuously changes with your emotions. When you are angry, your breathing is unrhythmic, asymmetrical. When you are in sexual lust, your breathing is almost insane. When you are calm and quiet, joyful, your breathing is almost a song. When you are feeling at home in existence, when you have no desires and feeling contented, suddenly breathing almost stops. When you are in a state of awe, wonder, breathing stops for a moment. And these are the greatest moments of life, because slowly in those moments when breathing almost stops are you in utter tune with existence, you are in God and God is in you. Your experience of breathing has to be more and more profound, scrutinized, observed, watched, analyzed. See how your breathing changes with your emotions, and vise versa, how your breathing change your breathing.

Become a watcher

Unless you become a watcher, unless you become a witness to your own mental states--this is what I call meditation. And these are the great opportunities--when you are feeling sad, just watch it. It is chemistry--you are consciousness. Don't get mixed with chemistry, it is biology--you are consciousness, a watcher. Slowly, slowly, even when your whole chemistry is going berserk, you will remain centered, grounded, unaffected--and this is true for both, man and woman.
