र शक्ति यात्रा र आत्मविश्वास

र शक्ति यात्रा र आत्मविश्वास

1. Desiring itself is the tension.
2. When you drop the desire, the mind disappears.
3. Desiring creates the world, the whole misery of it.
4. We go on desiring objects, but never desiring our own self.
5. To be released from desire is to be a buddha, is to be a christ.
6. Witness your thoughts, the process of thoughts, इच्छाहरू, dreams.
7. If you stop desiring life, the fear of death immediately disappears.
8. Mind is a constant process of dreaming, चाहना, thoughts, memories.
9. Thoughts never stop on their own. They stop only when the desiring mind disappears.
10. Don’t move with any desires. Desirelessness is the method to come in, and desirelessness is meditation.
11. Become a witness to your mind processes, to the traffic of thoughts, इच्छाहरू, memories, dreams and fantasies.
12. If you want misery, have more desires. If you want a blissfulness, then learn the art — even for few moments — of being desireless.
13. You are poor, a beggar, because you are always desiring, always asking to be given more. Desire is begging, and a desiring mind is a beggar’s mind.
14. The more desires you have, the more misery you will create for yourself. Misery is a consequence of desiring.
15. One who has no desires, won’t have any problem. One who has no need of the other, cannot be disturbed by the other.
16. Desire means the way to go out; desire is the path that leads you out. If your mind is still desiring, you cannot move within.
17. Desiring for something, is the basic disease of the mind. Not seeking, इच्छा छैन, is the basic health of your being.
18. Every desire brings misery. There is nothing to be done — simply become aware that every desire brings misery.
19. Everybody has many desires, is running in many directions simultaneously, so he never reaches very far in any direction.
20. यो सत्य हो. If you get caught and become a slave of your desires, you are getting into a trouble you are not aware of.
21. One who has no desires, won’t have any problem. One who has no need of the other, cannot be disturbed by the other.
22. All goals are bound to be in the future, and all desires for fulfillment in the future are nothing but a cover-up of your misery in the present.
23. Seeing that desire is misery, seeing that desire is bondage, seeing that desire drags you downwards into hell, one simply is released without any repression.
24. Misery has only one meaning, that things are not fitting with your desires — and things never fit with your desires, they cannot. Things simply go on following their nature.
25. If you meditate on someone who has gone beyond desires, you will become like him sooner or later, because meditation makes you like the object of meditation itself.
26. By watching dreams, thoughts, इच्छाहरू, slowly slowly we become disidentified with all that we are watching, we become the witness. And that witness is the ultimate reality.
27. You desire money or you desire meditation: desire is the same. Only the object has changed. And the object is not the problem — the problem is the desire itself, desiring itself.
28. Desire is a projection of the ego, so when you cut out the desires, the ego drops. When the meditator is gone, meditation comes in. When the seeker is not, then God seeks you.
29. Meditation simply means becoming more and more watchful, alert about your acts, your thoughts, इच्छाहरू, imagination, everything, so that slowly slowly a disidentification happens. You become the observer and everything becomes the observed.
30. As meditation goes deeper, a very contented consciousness evolves. Ultimately there is no desire, only contentment. They are contraries, contradictories: More desires, then less contentment. Less desires, then more contentment. No desires, then absolute contentment.
31. The ordinary madness of man’s mind — of desiring for more and more — is because you are not living totally. There is always a gap, something is missing, you know things could have been better. Out of this partial living, all ambitions arise.
32. Your desires are immense, almost infinite. Because of your desires life becomes a competition, and wherever there is competition, there is anxiety and angst; and at the end everybody is aware deep down there is death.
33. Learn to witness more and more: outer things, people, nature. Witness — don’t forget that you are just a witness, एक पर्यवेक्षक. Then inner things — thoughts, इच्छाहरू, memories — watch and remember that you are a witness.
34. All desires distract you from the present, all desires distract you from life, all desires are destructive of life, all desires are postponements of life. Life is now and the desire takes you away, farther and farther away from now.
35. सबैभन्दा ठूलो रहस्य यो हो कि इच्छा भएकाहरू भिखारी जस्तै बाँच्छन्. बन्धनमा बाँच्छन्, भिखारी जस्तै जिउन बाध्य छन्. And those who have transcended desire live like emperors. It seems existence follows a very paradoxical law.
36. God is already the case; your desiring mind does not allow you to see it. Your desiring mind makes you a monkey: you go on jumping from one branch to another branch. You go on jumping, you are never in a state of rest. This desire and that desire, and one desire creates another desire, and it is a continuum.
37. ध्यान भनेको यही हो — just sitting silently doing nothing. Thoughts arise: you watch. Desires arise: you watch. But you remain the watcher. You don’t become a victim of the desires and the thoughts that are arising; you remain a watcher.
38. The only desire worth desiring is that you should have no desires. Because all desires create misery. Desire means you have moved Life is here, desire is always somewhere else. Living is in this moment, desire is always somewhere in the future. Desire is postponement, desire is dream and hope. Desire is not reality.
39. This ego has all the desires, ambitions, wants to be always on the top of everything. You are exploited by this ego. And this never allows you even a glimpse of your real authentic self, and your life is there, in your authenticity. Hence, this ego only produces misery, कष्ट, fighting, frustration, madness, suicide, murder — all kinds of crime.
40. All desires are the same. You can desire money, you can desire meditation, you can long for power, you can long for God, but you remain the same. What you long for cannot change you, the object of longing has no effect on your inner being; it is the same game played again with new words, with new objects of desire.
41. If you have desires, try to look — are those desires the cause of your misery? Nobody wants misery, but nobody is willing to drop the desires — and they are together, they cannot be separated. This is one of the greatest insights that has come from all the enlightened people in the world — that desire is the root of all misery, and desirelessness is the cause of all that is beautiful and blissful.
42. Try to understand desiring. Try to understand hoping. Try to understand dreaming. That’s what is needed. You simply try to understand how your mind has been functioning up to now. Seeing into the functioning of the mind, मन हराउँछ. Just a good look into the inner mechanism of the mind, and suddenly it comes to a halt. In that halt, there is Enlightenment. In that halt, there is a taste of a totally new dimension of existence.
