While you are alive, Sei so lebendig, dass selbst der Tod dich nicht töten kann, wenn er kommt. Ein wirklich lebendiger Mensch transzendiert den Tod. Der Tod passiert nur toten Menschen. Lass es mich wiederholen: Der Tod passiert nur toten Menschen; who are already dead, only to those people does death happen. Ein wirklich lebendiger Mensch transzendiert den Tod, geht über den Tod hinaus. Der Tod kommt, but misses the target.
Der Weg führt vom Tun zum Geschehen, von dem Egotowards no-ego, vom Geist zum Nicht-Geist. No-Mind ist das, worum es bei Meditation geht. Diese andere Welt ist das Nirwana. Diese andere Welt ist Gott.
Between life and death, between the two banks of life and death, flows the river of love. And that is possible only for a person who does not take life for granted, who moves deep into the quality of being alive and becomes existential, authentisch. Love is for the person who accepts death here and now and does not postpone it. Then between these two a beautiful phenomenon arises: the river ofLiebe.
Life and death are like two banks. The possibility is there for the river of love to flow, but it is only a possibility. You will have to materialize it. Life and death are there, but love has to be materialized — that is the goal of being a human. Unless love materializes, you have missed — you have missed the whole point of being.
God is a universal thing. Once you come out of your private dreams, es ist dort. It has been always there. Once your eyes are clear, a sudden illumination — suddenly you are overflooded with beauty, grandeur and grace. That is the goal, that is the destiny.
Erinnern, if you renounce the world through a failure it is not renunciation, it is not sannyas, es ist nicht wahr. If you renounce the world through understanding, that is totally different. You don’t renounce it as a sad effort, with frustration within, failure all around. You don’t do it like a suicide, erinnern. If your sannyas is a suicide, then flowers will not shower on you — then you are leaving.
The desire to exhibit is the desire of an ignorant mind. Why do you want to exhibit? Why do you want people to know you? What’s the cause of it? And why do you make it so significant in your life, the exhibition, that people should think that you are somebody very significant, important, extraordinary — WARUM? Because you don’t have a self. You have only an ego — a substitute for the self.
You have become so accustomed to living in chains that freedom tastes bitter.
Learn the way of joy, learn the way of dance, at least learn the way of poetry; and unlearn the ways of the thinker, unlearn the ways that create questions in you.
God is this total existence happening. Be silent and know. There is nowhere to go, there is nothing to achieve, no ambition has to be fulfilled. God has already decided to be inside you; that’s why you are alive.
A prayer is like an infection. Love is also like an infection: it can be caught but not taught. You can catch it. It is flowing all around you, but if you remain like an island, geschlossen, then there is no way to teach it to you.
God is not somewhere in the future. If you delight, He is here. If you celebrate, you will find Him just by your side, Wenn Sie den Sinn des Lebens in einem Dogma suchen. But if you seek Him you will never find Him anywhere. The seeking mind never reaches to reality. And one becomes too much of a seeker, nach und nach: too much practice, conditions, so you go on seeking. Today you will seek, yesterday you were seeking, tomorrow also you will seek; past lives you were seeking, this life you are seeking, in the future lives also you will seek. Seeking has become habitual. It has become a structure. Drop that structure! This is my message: He is here, right THIS very moment. Don’t miss Him.
Bewusstsein ist Tugend. Bewusstsein ist Tugend; Bewusstsein ist Tugend, Bewusstsein ist Tugend. Bewusstsein ist Tugend, Bewusstsein ist Tugend. And the only remedy, the only remedy I say, ist Meditation.
Relax when you go to sleep and laugh when you come out of sleep. That laughter should be the first prayer. Remember that if you can laugh, sooner or later you will come to believe in God. A person who laughs cannot remain an atheist for long, and a person who is sad, whatsoever he may say, cannot be really a believer in God, because sadness shows that he rejects, sadness shows that he is against, sadness shows that he denies, condemns. Laughtershows a deep acceptance, Lachen zeigt eine Feier, Lachen zeigt, dass das Leben gut ist.
Das Ego kann nur in einer zielgerichteten Vision existieren; der Geist kann nur in der Zukunft existieren. Der Zweck bringt Zukunft herein; das ziel schafft den gedankenraum, Wünsche entstehen. Und dann ist natürlich Eile angesagt, denn das Leben ist kurz. Heute sind wir hier und morgen sind wir weg — vielleicht im nächsten Moment.
