“That completeness comes when our little selfish personality that is only thinking about me and myself has gone. When I think only of ‘you’, your pain becomes my pain. It’s no longer localized. Your happiness is my happiness. This is not theory or philosophy; it’s the experience of those who have touched that completeness.”
“There is this constant desire to be complete, to be full. This is how life moves, and we never seem to find this completeness outside. If it can be found inside, you will see it reflected outside.”
“When there is too much undigested philosophical information or when the mind is obsessed and restless all the time, it leaves no room to receive anything from the infinite. The wounds, hurts, and hatred we carry in our hearts are the greatest barriers. They are the muck that fills us up. Unless this muck is cleaned, there is no space for anything real to happen. And when this space is created, we realize that everything we seek has always been within us.”
“Deep down, the preparation is to create space, to empty our prejudices and be free. This preparation can be done in any tradition, but without space, nothing can be received.”
“Some great spiritual teachers are so absorbed in the fullness just like a full vessel. There is no sound; there’s no need to speak.”
“According to the Buddha, desire is the root of all sorrow and freedom from desire is freedom from sorrow for all mankind.”
“The Truth that we seek, is almost like no-thing. Which is why the Buddha called it Shunya. When my ego becomes zero, then I see that zero. That Nothing is the essence of everything.”
“The highest knowledge is that which leads you to the Truth.”
“When you become more mindful of yourself, you become more mindful of the outer world.”
“A spiritual seeker is not tempted by anything other than to find the truth one-pointedly.”
“It doesn’t matter who the teacher is, what he or she looks like, etc. What's important is the wisdom that comes from the teacher.”
“Yoga is not a passive state. It is a super-active state wherein there's action in the tranquillity of mind, without agitation.”
“Don’t go to extremes. If you go to one extreme in this world, you might get thrown to the other. Moderation is the key.”
“When the love for the Divine arises, it’s like an overflow. There are no questions.”
“To be spiritual does not mean to become weak. Forgiveness is a great strength. It’s the weak who cannot forgive.”
