• Don’t say things that cause turbulence or harm to anyone.

Do not hurt
with your words, for the Divine dwells in every heart.

• The whole purpose why Buddha gave a begging bowl to the Bhikkhus
was to crush the ego and to make them realise that there is someone
who is taking care of them!

• We usually identify ourselves with the states of mind states of body

and mind we are in, I am angry, I am sad, and so on. Silence, you can
observe yourself best in silence. In silence, you go beyond these
states of mind and body.

• Freedom is when you realise that all states of mind are temporary.
You are consciousness… untouched by the states of mind!

• Dedication is an act; devotion is a state.

• When you see things are “ happenings” and not “doings” that is when
you get liberated!

• Faith is giving a chance for the Divine to act!

• When there is love without respect, you don’t take anything seriously.
When there is respect without love, the feeling of nearness is lost.
Both love and respect can find space only in Divinity or the Guru.

• Food, atmosphere and place – these are the 3 things that effect your
nature.

• We have an old habit of chewing on to unpleasant memories.

• We never drop our bodies, it is always that our bodies that drop us.
When you can drop your body and mind, then you are with God. Body
dropping you is death; you dropping the body is meditation.

• The root of your conflict with people is I : I like this; I don’t like
this… and so on. This resistance and stiffness doesn’t is not allowing
 you to bow down to the supreme divinity in yourself. The small mind
wants to be unique, but it does not know that it is already unique!

• Just a little tilt in the consciousness – and all the barriers will fall off!

• There can be no liberation – as there was no bondage in the first

place!

• Pain is inevitable ; suffering is optional. Enlightenment is that state

when nothing can wipe the smile off your face!

• Your mind is like a windmill, it keeps on rotating even after the wind
has stopped blowing.

• Take whatever comes in your life with both hands. This is what
crucification means!

• Every storm has destroyed something small in you – it widens your

perspective, it makes you more deep.

• Every storm is a blessing. It makes your cry and realise something. It

makes you that much more close to your real infinite self.

• Don’t let little things irritate you! This is MAYA – the illusion. The
world is there to cause you irritation – and it is good that it caused
you this irritation – this is for your growth. Otherwise, you would have
remained stuck !!

• Behind your anger is your desire. Either you hang on to your desire, or
you hang on to your anger.

• Fear is love standing upside down! A child clinging onto its mother –
this could be either because of love or fear.

• People pray when they are unhappy. This is escapism. The supreme
form of prayer is, when you pray in happiness and joyfulness, that is
when you express your gratitude.
• Be with the pinch of the guilt, not the guilt itself. The pinch will push
you to move on. Don’t get stuck with the guilt.

• A mistake is a mistake, neither yours nor mine. Your means anger, mine
means guilt.

• Manipulation of words is LIE

• Play of words is JOKE
• Relying on words is IGNORANCE
• Going beyond words is WISDOM

• Polluted speech and polluted thoughts create polluted emotions.

• Each word is an impulse of energy and intelligence.

• Where is the question of renunciation? When you don’t have anything

in the first place, how can you renounce??

• Every miracle is a miracle only for a few moment, then it becomes a

concept.

• When you do good to people, don’t think about their responses – let
them carry their own cross !

• Your bondage is when you are stuck with your own viewpoints.

• Science – probing the secrets!

• Religion – Honouring the secrets!!

• Arrogance is sensitive. When there is no humility or awareness in

pride, it becomes arrogance! Arrogance happens in the small mind,
which is full of itself, and unaware of existence.

• Luck means going beyond the small mind – beyond the capacity of the
small mind. The heart always makes everything BIG… a poetry comes
out of the heart. It is an exaggeration, it decorates. The moment you
try to analyse it with the mind, it is gone!
• We take the negatives to the heart and the positives to the head.
Thus, we exaggerate the negatives, and analyse the positives! When
someone says, I love you, we start to analyse and start doubting. But
when someone says, I hate you, we don’t doubt this! We immediately
believe this!! We need to switch… we need to see the positives with
the heart and the negatives with the head.

• Analysis of the negatives makes you compassionate. Exaggeration of

beauty makes YOU more beautiful.

• Be a Gopi – a drunk. You can never complain if you are drunk. One who
looks at the world through the heart – he is a Gopi.

• When you rejoice, the entire creation rejoices with you!

• Bowing down doesn’t mean the physical act of bowing down only; it is
recognition of the divinity in everyone, everybody.

• What is your world? Your world is very small, it is only a bundle of

your experiences. The mind is restricted to the experiences it has
had.

• Getting stuck to people or events or things, any impression is called

VAASNA.

• Your sorrow is because your mind is stuck to the same thought, same
desire or same situation.

• Take any thought and analyse it minutely. Word by word, and then the
thought will disappear.

• Observe people : push one button and see how they behave; push
another button and see how their behaviour changes – it is all a big
amusement park.

• Weigh your words before you speak – they are the pearls of your life
– don’t waste them on useless things!
• Don’t see the intention behind the mistake. See it as their expression
of feelings.
