19 Aloneness is Celebration of Being

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 19 Aloneness is Celebration of Being 19 August 1978 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Deva means divine, gariba means poverty. Jesus says ‘Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of god.’ To be poor in spirit means to be egoless. It means to be humble. It means to be a nobody. To be poor in spirit does not mean to live in poverty – because one can practise poverty and can be very egoistic about it....

2 The Night is over

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 2 The Night is over 2 August 1978 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Prem means love, devayan means divine vehicle – love, the divine vehicle. Love takes you to the ultimate and love also brings the ultimate to you; it is a double-edged sword. It is like a ladder: you can go up and down by the same ladder. And the meeting happens somewhere in the middle....

20 Prayer is a Love Affair with Existence

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 20 Prayer is a Love Affair with Existence 20 August 1978 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Prem means love, gitama means a song – a song of love. Life cannot be more enriched by anything, except love. Life remains poor without love and life remains a hell without love. Love is the only quality that transforms life from misery to bliss. Love brings the transformation....

21 Love is Madness with a Method

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 21 Love is Madness with a Method 21 August 1978 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Prem means love, parijato is a flower, the name of a flower. Prem Parijato will mean a flower of love. Man never blooms without love. Love is like spring: once you are in love, hidden possibilities start manifesting themselves, that which was latent before starts arising, surfacing. All the colours and all the fragrance that one contains are released....

22 Meditation is the Path of Ecstasy

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 22 Meditation is the Path of Ecstasy 22 August 1978 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Anand means bliss, aikanto means aloneness – the bliss of being alone. There is a kind of bliss which arises in relationship, in love, with people. But there is also a blissfulness which arises when you are simply, utterly alone. The first bliss can only be momentary because it depends on the interaction of two persons....

23 Bliss is a by-product of losing Yourself

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 23 Bliss is a by-product of losing Yourself 23 August 1978 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Prem means love, saburo means waiting – waiting is love. And that’s really what meditation is: waiting for the unknown to happen. We cannot make it happen. Whatsoever we do will always be a repetition of the known, because we are the known. There is no way for us to make the unknown happen....

24 Love has never failed

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 24 Love has never failed 24 August 1978 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Deva means divine, prapata means a waterfall. The waterfall is symbolic of many things. The first: it seeks depth, it is always moving towards the depth. And that should be the search. God is not there high in heaven but deep in you. Your consciousness has to become a waterfall, to seek the deepest valley in your being – and you will find god there....

25 Bliss is Prayer

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 25 Bliss is Prayer 25 August 1978 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium This will be your new name... and remember that the change of name is not only a change of name but the getting out of the old, dropping out of the old continuum. It is only symbolic but it carries much meaning in it. If it is just a change of name it is not significant – then all names are the same; whether you have one name or another will not make any difference....

26 Whenever you are Joyous you are in God

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 26 Whenever you are Joyous you are in God 26 August 1978 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium [To an elderly sannyasin] Because the last days of the life should be totally devoted to prayer, to meditation, to god. One has to prepare for death. And death is more important than life, because life is just superficial. Death will take you to the ultimate core of existence....

27 Meditation has to be a Love Affair

< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 27 Meditation has to be a Love Affair 27 August 1978 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium [A mother with her child says she feels resistance and indecision.] It is on the right track. It is how trust arises. Trust arises out of the dark night of doubt. One has to go deep into doubt to find trust. Trust is not something that you can find by dropping the doubt....
