The intelligent man first searches his own being before he starts a journey in the outer world. That seems to be simple and logical — at least first look inside your own house before you go searching all over the world. And those who have looked within themselves have found it, without any exception.
Do not be aggressive through your logic. Receive existence as it is. Let it come in. The mind cannot love, because love means to be receptive to someone.
Meditation will make you aware that there is no content in your being, your being is sheer emptiness, that you are not and only existence is. And in this nothingness flowers the rose of awareness.
You have to become more aware in your doings, become more conscious. That is the only meditation: become more alert. In a sharp moment of awareness, the awareness becomes a weapon, and in a single stroke all bondage is broken.
I teach you a tremendous total yes to life. I teach you not renunciation but rejoicing. ウパニシャッドは人生に途方もない恋をしています! ウパニシャッドは人生に途方もない恋をしています! Again and again, I say rejoice! — because in your rejoicing you will come closest to God.
Unless compassion has happened to you, don’t think that you have lived rightly or that you have lived at all. Compassion is the flowering. And when compassion happens to one person, millions are healed. Whosoever comes around him is healed. Compassion is therapeutic.
覚えて, if you condemn a natural phenomenon it becomes poisonous, it destroys you, it becomes destructive and suicidal. If you transform it, それは神になります, it becomes a God-force, it becomes an elixir; you attain through it to immortality, to a deathless being. But transformation is needed.
The fundamental thing is to drop the split, to become one. Be one, and then all else is possible; even the impossible is possible.
Understanding is the secret of transformation. 怒りが理解できれば, すぐにあなたは思いやりを浴びせられます. セックスが理解できれば, すぐにあなたはサマーディに到達します. ‘Understanding’ is the most important word to remember.
