Prem means love and kutera means a small place. And that’s all that a man needs to be fulfilled: if one can become a small shrine, nothing is lacking. The very phenomenon of love integrates you, and when love is missing, you start falling apart – it is the glue that keeps you together....

Man can function from three centres: one is the head, another is the heart and the third one is the navel. If you function from the head you will go on spinning thoughts and thoughts and thoughts....

Is it possible?] Everything is possible, possibilities are infinite. Materialisation is possible and de-materialisation is possible. In fact it is happening all the time. There was a time when the earth was not there, then it materialised. And there are stars which are disappearing, de-materialising. Now physicists say that when a star de-materialises it leaves an empty hole in its place, a black hole – just emptiness is left and the whole of the matter simply disappears....

Don’t destroy it, that’s all, because beautiful things are destroyed so easily. The more beautiful, the more dangerous, because they can be destroyed more easily. The more beautiful, the more delicate – so handle with care!...

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 13 13 April 1977 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Deva means divine, varsha means rain – and you have to keep that continuously in your awareness, that god is raining on you. And it is not imagination, it is the truth: god is raining every moment. We live only because he goes on raining; the moment the rain stops, we disappear. It is a subtle energy rain – it is invisible, but life is continuously being given to you....

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 14 14 April 1977 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium [A visitor says: I have come here with an open heart... and I wish to know.] Good – the heart is ready for many things and very very hungry for something to happen. Not only open, but waiting too – and nothing has happened for the whole life. You have come into this life with a great thirst for something to happen....

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 15 15 April 1977 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Deva means divinity, divineness, and siddhen means one who has arrived. And that’s my basic teaching and basic message, that we are not to go anywhere, we are already in the state, we are already there, we have already arrived. There is nowhere to go; we just have to see where we are. The difference is only of being aware or unaware....

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 16 16 April 1977 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Prem madhi. It means love mind. The mind has two aspects: one aspect which thinks, another aspect which feels. And the reality is known not by the thinking aspect but by the feeling aspect. The joy of life is also attained through the feeling aspect. If a person becomes addicted too much to the thinking aspect he becomes dry....

I think she hasn’t decided whether she wants to stay her or not in this world.] Let her decide – give her freedom. [She asks: How can I watch all these problems? How can I be aware? It’s hard....

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 18 18 April 1977 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Deva means divine and shravaka means ‘who has heard’ – one who has heard the call of the divine. And always remember that we start looking for god only when he has called us. It is not otherwise, that we start looking first. It is always he who takes the initiative. We may not be even aware of it, but unless he calls, nobody moves towards him....
