Dialectics

The deeper you enter into the dialectics...it is a miraculous experience. Without inaction there is no action; if you cannot relax, you cannot act. The more you can relax, the more perfection will be in your action. They appear to be opposites: they are not. The better you dissolve into sleep in the night, the sharper, the younger you will wake up in the morning. And everythere in life you will find the same dialectical process.

Life, love and laughter

There are three "L"s of my philosia: Life, Love and Laughter. Life is only a seed, love is a flower, laughter is fragrance. Just to be born is not enough, one has to learn the art of living, that is the A of meditation. Then one has to learn the art of loving, that is the B of meditation. And then one has to learn the art of laughing, that is the C of meditation. And meditation has only three letters: A, B, C...My whole approach is of celebration. Religion to me is nothing but the whole spectrum of celebration, the whole rainbow, all the colors of celebration. Make it a great opportunity for yourself, because in celebrating many of you can reach to greater heights, to new dimensions of being. These are the moments which should not be missed, these are the moments which should be used to its fullest capacity.

Laughter & dance

As far as I know, dancing and laughter are the best, natural, easily approachable doors. If you really dance, thinking stops. You go on and on, you whirl and whirl, and you become a whirlpool --- all bounadries, all divisions are lost. You don't even know where your body ends and where the existence begins. You melt into existence and the existence melts into you, there is an overlapping of boundaries. And if you are really dancing -- not managing it but allowing it to manage you, allowing it to possess you -- if you are possessed by dance, thinking stops. The same happens with laughter. If you are possessed by laughter, thinking stops. And if you know a few moments of no-mind, those glimpses will promise you many more rewards that are going to come. You just have to become more and more of the sort, of the quality, of no-mind. More and more, thinking has to be dropped. Laughter can be a beautiful introduction to a non-thinking state...Try it! Start and finish your day with laughter, and you will see, by and by, in between these two more and more laughter starts happening. And the more laughing you become, the more religious you are.

Too much concern

When your body is ill, it is as if someboy else's body is ill: do whatsoever as needed but don't be too concerned because that overmuch concern is a greater illness that the body's. If you have a fever go to the doctor, take the medicine, take care of the body, and that's all. Why be concerned too much? Why create another fever? --which no doctor can treat! The fever in the body can be treated, but if you become too concerned another fever is created, that fever is deeper, no doctor can help with it...Too much concern about yourself is the greatese disease possible. You cannot be happy, you canno enjoy yourself. How can you enjoy? So many problems inside! Problems and problems and problems and nothing else! -- and there seems no solutions! What to do? You go crazy. Everybody, inside, is crazy!

Seeds of Wisdom

I too am a farmer and I sowed some seeds. They sprouted and now flowers have come to them. My whole life is filled with the fragrance of these flowers and because of this fragrance now I am in a different world. This fragrance has given me a new birth, and now I am no longer that which is seen by ordinary eyes.

The unseen and the unknown have flung open their closed doors, and I am seeing a world which is not seen through the eyes, and I am hearing music which ears are not capable of hearing. Whatsoever I have found and known is eager to flow just as the mountain waterfalls and springs flow and rush towards the ocean.

Remember, when the clouds are full of water they have to shower. And when the flowers are filled with fragrance they have to give off their fragrance freely to the winds. And when a lamp is lit, the light is bound to radiate from it.

Something like this has happened and the winds are carrying away some seeds of revolution from me. I have no idea in what fields they will land and who will tend them. I only know that it is from seeds like these that I have attained the flowers of life, immortality, and the divine. And in whatever field they land, the very soil there will turn into the flowers of immortality.

In death is hidden the immortal and in death is life -- just as flowers are inherent in the soil. But the potential of the soil can never become realized in the absence of seeds. The seeds make manifest that which was un-manifest and give expression to that which was latent.

Whatever I have, whatever I am, I want to give away as seeds of divine consciousness. What is attained in knowledge -- knowing -- love gives away in abundance.

In knowing one knows God; in love one BECOMES God. Knowledge is the spiritual discipline, love is the fulfilment.
