Spiritual perspective.
Pleasure is very momentary, it exists only for a split second. Happiness is a little longer, joy even a little longer, more suffused, but they are both part of time.
Pleasure, happiness, joy — they are all part of time, and anything that is part of time is bound to come and go, it cannot be forever.
Time means change, time means flux, movement. Nothing can be static in time, nothing can be at a…

Habit
Habits cannot be dropped.
There are only two ways to drop them: one is to change the habit for a substitute habit — but that is just changing one problem for another, it is not going to help much; the other is to become more aware.
Whenever you repeat a habit, become aware. Even if you have to repeat it, repeat it, but repeat with a witnessing, an alertness, an awareness.
The awareness will make…

Do not angry.
When somebody commits a mistake you don”t have to be angry, you have to be more compassionate,
so that he does not start feeling guilty.
Because you don’t understand the psychology of things: if one person commits a mistake and you become angry – and your anger is justified because the mistake has been done by the other person – your anger creates humiliation in the other person.
That humiliation…

Secret of Happiness
The cause of pain is not outside, it is the way of your being.
But the simple man’s trick is that he always seeks reasons outside.
You are sad! You find out the immediate reason that who is making me sad? What is the cause of my misery?
If you are unhappy, then you find the reason outside.
You are angry, then you find the reason outside, that someone must have insulted! I am sad if only someone…

Life: do not take it seriously
Life exists in contradictions.
If somebody says that he has trouble with sleep, I say to forget about sleep.
Run four miles in the morning and four miles in the evening.
Sleep is not the problem.
You must be relaxing too much; then sleep is not needed.
Always remember that deeper down all contradictions meet and are part of one whole.
People want to become silent, they want to move into a state…

Love ?
Man’s misery consists in his incapacity to give love.
He asks for love but he is not willing to give; he demands, but he has completely forgotten that unless you give you cannot get.
Giving comes first and then getting is inevitable, it happens of its own accord. And when love comes without your asking, it brings happiness.
When you ask in the first place it cannot come. If it comes it will be…

You have to accept yourself in your totality. If you cannot accept yourself in your totality, how can you expect somebody else to accept you?
And you have been condemned by everybody, and you have learned only one thing: self-condemnation.
You go on hiding it; it is not something beautiful to show to others. You know ugly things are hidden in you, you know evil things are hidden in you, you know…

Madness: the play of mind
Madness: the play of mind
You can go mad in two ways. One is a wrong way, another is a right way.
You can go mad if you are completely lost in your mind. Then you are uprooted from your being. And you may not appear mad to others but you will be mad. You may not appear mad to others because others are also mad like you. This earth is a great madhouse.
Normally everybody is mad; in fact, not to be…

The problem with insane people is that they are always living it partially!
They are always repressing, they are always not doing what they want to do. If they are allowed total freedom, perhaps they may come out their insanity.
At least people should give everybody freedom to be himself, without any judgment, without any condemnation, without calling him insane, without calling him a sinner,…

Meditation: the personal truth
Meditation is not belief, it is enquiry, it is a deep search within your being. And if one dive deep within oneself one is bound to find, because it is one’s innermost core.
Then what word you use for it is irrelevant — you can call it the Christ or the Krishna or the Buddha or you may not call anything. You may simply call it the ultimate silence or the ultimate awareness, the ultimate freedom.

A journey from ‘I’ to ‘Self’
A journey from ‘I’ to ‘Self’
The only difference between a Buddha and you, is that of awareness. The word “buddha” means the awakened one, whose sleep is gone.
We are in a metaphysical sleep.
It is just as in the night when you fall asleep you start dreaming and the dreams appear real, absolutely real; you trust them, you believe in them. In the morning when you wake up it looks so ridiculous —…

Grace: the nature of a master
It is a very strange phenomenon: the master does not give it, the disciple does not ask for it but it happens.
The Zen people have the right statement about it. They say that when a line of birds flies over a lake the lake has no intention of reflecting them, they have no intention of being reflected in the lake, but still the reflection happens. It is unintended from both sides.
The case is…

Question of you.
Remember,
peace cannot come as you are, peace cannot exist for you.
It is not a question of peace, it is a question of you: as you are, everything will disturb you; as you are, you will create anguish around you. Anguish is not some accident that happens to you, it is a growth.
Just as leaves come on the trees, anxieties come into you – they are part of you.
You can cut the leaves, but that will…

Watching the Breath
The rising and falling of your breath: that is the way of looking within.
Many have said: Look within.
Socrates has said: Look within, know thyself, but nobody has given the exact method.
Buddha gives you the exact method: “the rising and the falling of the breath. It is through the breath that you are bridged.”
Breath is the bridge between your soul and your body.
If you can watch your breath…

Man is being conditioned continuously for ambition.
Down the ages all the societies and all the education systems have been poisoning humanity and the basis of their poisoning is: create ambition.
Now, once you create ambition in a person he becomes inimical to everybody; he is always in conflict.
All are competitors; he has to fight his way.
On the surface he may show friendship but deep down that friendship remains political, diplomatic.

lightness and Darkness
The lightness and the Darkness cannot exist together; these two different dimensions.
light and dark never come at the same time, one’s absence is others presence. ones present is another’s absence automatically.
They cannot have a co-existence.
The reason being is that darkness is not a “thing” in the same way light is. Since darkness is connotatively defined as a lack of visible light,
Why?…

To be late
Just think about this word. In my opinion nothing is ever too late just say ok and move on because when you try to adjust the things who already happened before then you missed the current situation and things.
so never look back in the past and never look ahead in the future just leave as it is and enjoy the moment.
I know we are very greedy people who wants everything in bulk, but you have to…
