The most fundamental and the most important aspect of the spiritual process can in no way be stopped by anybody - except yourself..
If it is conditional, it is not love.
Meditation is the only way to freedom from stress as it is a dimension beyond the mind. All the stress and struggle are of the mind..
I barely belong to this world, but still I'm participating..
Unless you are oblivious to your own suffering, you have no right to be oblivious to other people's suffering..
The science and technology of how this life functions and what we can do with it, is what we refer to as yoga..
There is no need to make spirituality a part of education. If you make education non-imposing and non-suppressive, people are naturally spiritual..
If you cultivate your body, your mind, your emotions, and your energies to a certain level of maturity, meditation will blossom..
When you exist here only as a body and a mind, suffering is inevitable..
You have the choice to be here as a speck of creation or as the very source of creation. Not exploring such a phenomenal possibility is a crime..
One who explores and knows all aspects of his life, is called self-realized..
Confidence without clarity is always a disaster..
In tension you cannot perceive; in laxity you cannot perceive. Only if you are intense and relaxed, you perceive everything just the way it is..
To be spiritual means to be an emperor within yourself. This is the only way to be..
What you see as cosmos is a living mind - intelligent space..
Consciousness is not a bunch of thoughts or a certain level of understanding. Consciousness is a dimension that is beyond our physicality..
Your thoughts and emotions are the drama that you create in your mind. You must be able to end it somewhere..
Your energy and your awareness are directly connected. If your energies are intense, your awareness naturally grows and sharpens..
A consecrated space experientially reminds you that there is much more to life than you think..
The very way you breathe, sit, stand, eat, walk, work - everything can become yoga. You can use any process of life to transcend your limitations..
Sadhana is towards creating a sense of inner fulfillment, where there is no need to lean on anyone anymore..
