I’m leaving tomorrow and I’d like a meditation to help me with my mind.] I think you are creating the problem. The mind disappears – but never by fighting, never by conflict. Conflict is food for the mind, so if you fight, you feed the mind....

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 2 29 June 1976 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Deva means divine and punyatam means holy, pure, simple. You have to forget the old name and remember the new. And remember the idea behind it of purity, simplicity. A person can be pure and not simple; then purity is not worth anything. You can force purity on yourself but because you force it, it will not be simple....

He says: I love you.] [chuckling] I know, I know. Now you will smell of me! Shreyas... It is one of the most beautiful words in India. It means ‘the ultimate good’... and that’s the only approach towards God....

When you allow love to come out, hate will also come out. That’s why many people repress their love – because they have been taught to repress their hate and they are both aspects of the same energy....

I’m not finished here.] You are not finished. Nobody is finished here! I simply start things – I never finish them. You have to come back again and again. It is an eternal journey. There is a beginning but there is no end – and that’s the beauty of it....

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 23 22 July 1976 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Anand means bliss and sandesh means a message – a message of bliss... and you have to become one. Walking, sitting, doing something, not doing something, remain blissful. Allow bliss to happen more and more; don’t obstruct it. It is nothing to be positively achieved; only negative barriers should be removed. One needs nothing to be blissful except the readiness to surrender to it....

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 24 23 July 1976 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Deva means divine and satyarthi means a seeker of truth – a seeker of divine truth. It has a very specific meaning of great significance. It does not mean a seeker of truth in the sense of a philosopher. That is not the real seeking. The philosopher invents the truth; it is not a discovery....

The question comes to me of whether I should make this sort of decision myself or should I come to you and ask?] When you cannot make the decision, when it seems impossible, only then. If you can make the decision, there is no need....

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 27 26 July 1976 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Prem means love and upassana means worship. This should be your attitude – of a deep, loving worship, of a worshipful love. The attitude of worship is something which has to be felt. Ordinarily it has disappeared from the world. People have completely forgotten what worship really means. It is an approach towards reality with a child’s heart – not calculating, not cunning, not analysing, but full of awe, of a tremendous feeling of wonder, a feeling of mystery surrounding you....
