131. Whatever is happening is auspicious!

  1. Every experience adds to you - to go beyond the body and mind.
  2. Everything is adding to you; you are constantly expanding.
  3. Anybody who understands the constant expansion in the universe is in cosmic auspiciousness.
  4. Insecurity is the ultimate security.
  5. When consciousness stands up, the insecurity becomes the ultimate security for you.
  6. Anything that is, is insecurity. That which is not, is security.
  7. The cosmos introduces itself every moment to you as life. The moment you think you know it already, you miss it.
  8. Life is introducing to you a new dimension of the cosmos every moment. If you think you know it already, you miss it!
  9. Freedom from the known is the ultimate freedom.
  10. Freedom from the known leads you to freedom from the unknown.
  11. Every moment life is introducing one dimension of the cosmos to you. Only if you think you know already without listening to the introduction, you experience illusory pain and joy.
  12. One’s clash with the law of the country and the law of the cosmos is what we call bondage.
  13. All you need to do in front of the cosmos is ‘ask’. It is there right in front of you!
  14. Aligning your actions with your intentions is called vichara. Experiencing it, is vitarka.
  15. Conscience constantly changes. It has no existence. It is societal.
  16. Conscience is societal, it is the mind. Awareness is trying to see what is actually going on. Will is the ability to go beyond these two.
  17. Anything you see is because of the fantasies you have been mothering.
  18. Whatever you experience as you, as the world and as God, is simply your own memory.
  19. Liberation happens if you remember the right things and forget the wrong things.
  20. Your memory is responsible for your bondage. Your memory is also responsible for your liberation!
  21. With wrong memory you are in bondage, with the right memory you are liberated!
  22. Memory is a memory when you remember it and it binds you. Memory is not a memory when you remember it and it liberates you.
  23. Memory is responsible for what you are emotionally. Memory is responsible for what you are.
  24. Being in the sangha means having vitarka - pure dedication, devotion, just a deep inviting, welcoming and blissful ‘yes’ for whatever the master is saying.
  25. Whatever Brahma writes with the right hand as your destiny, the guru can simply wipe with the left leg.
  26. The sangha (my community) is my very own extension, my very own subtle body that is happening every moment, to evolve every being.
  27. Existence is extremely compassionate. It shares its beauty with all those who are ready for it. Let go, and merge with Existence. That is the only way.
