• 17.Page 45. Mending self, and allowing others to mend Meditation. - Sufi teaching. Menders have to mend. – TAO teaching.

  • That is those who think of correcting others have to correct themselves first.

18.Page 46. What do you try to give to the other person?

At all those times when you create a feeling of guilt in the other person, you live with feeling of guilt only.

At all those times when you create a feeling of comfort in the other person, you live with a feeling of comfort only.

Who will restrain this?

• 27.Page 59. Do converse. Relationship and intimacy will become all right.
• 28.Page 60. Love is a temple bell which invites and brings god.
• 29.Page 63. Artistry is the divine honey which makes life incidents as tasty dishes.

30.Page 64. Don't become stirred up by seeing the sea of misery!

34.Page 68. I will not request, "Oh! God, give me refuge from dangers" I will ask Him only to give fearless maturity to face the danger. -- Rabindranath Tagore. Oh God! Just put only a dot in my intellect. Laying the road is my job. -- An ascetic's statement. Do not wait, saying, "God will tear open the roof and pour down every thing." When it is possible for you to even the road itself, then why don't you put the dot also yourself too!

Don't ask for maturity. It is there already with you. Begin to bring it out. Firstly you will become an artist.

At last, you will become an enlightened person.

35.Page 69. Words, action, facial expression, thought – Blend the artistic

aspect with all these four. There will be no need to celebrate life separately. Life itself would have become a festival.

Blend the art.

• Intelligence is my weapon. – Mohammed Nabi.

• For an intelligent man, weapon is unnecessary. - A Zen Statement.
• Mesial frontal lobe is a part of the brain which is directly connected to intelligence. It is a truth which has been proved by the medical world that meditation would make this part of the brain function very enthusiastically. When that part becomes very active... Weapon will become needless. Along with that you will learn the necessary subtle skills to achieve any thing harmoniously and to live comfortably under any type of circumstances.
• 44.Page 82. Agna is the spring (water) of wisdom.
• 45.Page 83. Applying kumkum is not mere custom. It is a technique.

• 50.Page 97. Energy will be going on getting wasted through the mental hole of 'boasting'!
• 51.Page 98. Until one does not understand his own greatness, both smallness and greatness will attack him alternately.
• 52.Page 99. Once a person scolded Buddha very badly. Buddha maintained silence. Having remained calm and allowed him to scold until he got tired saying, "What more is there for me yet to scold him, Buddha asked the man who scolded him, "If you are giving a gift to some one and if he refuses to accept it, to whom will that gift return?"

That man said, "To me."

Buddha said, "I don't accept what all you scolded me."

That man felt mentally troubled!

-- I scolded because he scolded. I hit because I was hit. Such explanations are foolish.

It is childish, for you also to do the very same mistake what the other person did.

• 53.Page 100. No sound will arise without two hands clapping. No quarrel will arise unless both persons get equally irritated. However much one hits merely with one hand no sound will come. The hand only will be paining.

If some one tries to irritate you, and if you learn to continu ously be patient, calmly speak and act, no quarrel will arise.

The one who tries to irritate will himself get irritated.

But, still no harm will be done mutually between him and us. This is a meditation.

-- When you are driven to 'get irritated' remain with awareness. Continuously be calm. You will see meditation happening.

54.Page 101**. By nature you are all very nice persons.**

What is the need for you to stoop to such a low level to live by boastful talking? Think about it.

• Pathanjali.

What the father of Yoga, Pathanjali said is a truth... For a man of those times!

The human mind of today is not 'simple' as the human mind of those days long ago.

For many, sitting straight itself is difficult. For meditation to happen while it is so...???

For the mind which has become spoiled in very many ways

to be made all right, alchemy should happen quickly.

58.Page 110. Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

• Leonardo da Vinci. Jump up and catch hold of 'simplicity'; you will get

limitless comforts in the present worldly life itself. 59.Page 110. Absence of sound will not become calmness. Mere absence

• of sound is the silence of the burial ground.

• 60.Page 111. Peace is one thing that man has not experienced. That is a bliss energy state of conscious feelings and life-flow. It is a state of god.

• 61.Page 112. Shutting up the mouth and taking bodily rest are not peace. When mind comes to rest, man meets peace for the first time; becomes god. Go beyond attitudes and work hard for the mind to come to rest.

• 62.Page 113. Simplicity is an art. Simplicity is sweetness. Human life's novelty! It is only those who are simple, know how to live.

  • In a storm, it is only those sturdy trees which stand tall and erect that are uprooted and thrown. Simple grass merely bends. It escapes.

-- Vedic Secret.

If an electron is moved, the universe itself shakes.

-- Quantum physics.

Today's desire, tomorrow's frenzy! Today's frenzy, tomorrow's hatred!

Enjoy. You will get liberation.

• 68.Page 122. It is not possible to separate saying, 'We are different and present time is different.' 69.Page 123. The more your desire, the more you suffer. The more you shed desire, more blissful you are. -- Thirumoolar.

As the desires spread their branches, suffering will build the nest. Frenzy and hatred will hatch the eggs. Either leave the desire or enjoy it. Leave, you become Yogi; Enjoy, you become meditator. Whatever you do, you become blissful.

• 70.Page 125. As awareness adds up, 'waiting' your turning point!
• 71.Page 128. "Even suffering is your own 'self-selection'! Without your desire, even 'bliss' cannot 'enter within you'. So 'you yourself' do the selection. -- Tao.

'You" is ego. As it attracts only small, small pleasures... suffering comes as a by-product!

• 72.Page 129. The thing which feeds the drive for enjoying again and again what is already enjoyed... are those which are enjoyed in small measure only. Hence, they are petty pleasures.

• 73.Page 130. Petty pleasures Net. Bliss – Wave. Nature of net is that it will entrap. Nature of wave is that it will things along with it.

• 74.Page 131. For the sake of desire, don't destroy the body.

• 75.Page 133. Suffering is a sleeping lava of volcano!

• 76.Page 134. Know the dept, length and height of suffering... It will be a sketch to help remove the accumulated mud etc.

• 77.Page 137. Until the fact 'Don't know' is not understood, the meaning of life will not also be understood. The reason for having born will not also be known.

• 78.Page 138. A person who knows all things will never exhibit that he knows all things.

-- Wisdom.

• 79.Page 139. It is inevitable, for a person who does not know any thing, exhibiting himself that he knows all things.-- Ignorance.
• 80.Page 140. Only a person who does not know about himself fully, will be very eager to examine thoroughly according to his own views, the quality, walk, dress and behaviour etc. of others to know about their shortcomings.
• 81.Page 141. Man does not know about himself to even half the extent of what he knows about others.

Why? Find the answer. The subtlety to change your fate itself is hidden in this answer!

• 82.Page 142. What all is known shrinks within 'what is not known'. -- Subtlety-1
• 83.Page 142. What all is not known lies shrunk in 'what is known'. -- Subtlety-2
• 84.Page 143. I never fail to grasp and notice the abilities of the enemy. I will also not fail to praise what I grasped and make the enemy my friend.

-- Statement of Samurai.

The mind is a big enemy not known to you yourself! Estimate correctly the enemy who created enemies and sufferings to you.

If this enemy becomes your friend, the 'mesmerizing quality' of making an avowed enemy as your friend will cling on to you.

• 86.Page 148. Those who make others suffer will not go to hell. Because... They are already in hell. That is why they behave like that.

• 87.Page 149. It is only the deep mind's unjust opinions about what is just and what is unjust, which changes even a just person as an unjust one.

• 88.Page 150. Your mind creates your world as per your own calculations of what is just and what is unjust. For that world to change, it is enough if your calculations change.

89.Page 151. Are you a just person? Or an unjust person?

Answer - Don't say immediately. Discuss with those who are with you. You will come to know about you yourself which you have not known. Do and see.

• 90.Page 153. Before one mends, scold! After mending, still tackle!
• 91.Page 154. Avoiding distress Penance!
• 92.Page 157. Being extremely eager to talk about the dirty things in other person's conduct is only a very dirty conduct.

Let him save himself. You save yourself. If these change places, it is dangerous to both only!

• 93.Page 158. You would say, "He is a fool". He would say, "You are a fool"... -- A Zen statement.

• You think others are suffering. Others think you are suffering - Not a wonder, but a truth. Who will tell you the truth?

94.Page 159. This is a secret of yours.

Whatever deficiencies and evils you say or wish to say about others are actually the mirrors which show you as a photograph of your own secret nature.

• You find out easily as to which type you are. 95.Page 160. It is myself...

I find intolerable.

-- Leo Tolstoy.

The statement of Leo Tolstoy is a real view.

It is not possible to believe for a person who sees within himself for the very first time.

It will make you become surprised, "Is it within me? Is it within me! So much of rubbish."

Excavate yourself. You will understand

96.Page 160. Look at yourself.

97.Page 161. It is possible for one type of chameleon to see two sights with both the eyes at the same time. For man, it is impossible.

One can never see a man as a little good and a little bad! Even if one sees, it cannot be a truth.

98.Page 162. Do you know this?

It is only sub-conscious mind's opinions about your own self, which you will be going on saying as 'your opinions' about others, and depending on the time, place and person concerned, you will be saying that differently every time. This is mind's play. - Great secret.

99. Page 163. For a person who has begun to see himself, where is the time to see others? When this occurs, that one will occur. That one is... People will appear very nice.

100.Page 165.Descriptions are the rockets propelled by the illusory mind.

101.Page 166. Enemy ... And friend... Illusory appearances!

102.Page 169.While donating... Say, "Thanks for giving me an opportunity to give!" Feel it consciously. Otherwise...

Pride will raise its ugly head saying, "See, how much I have given."

Hereafter, when you donate, be very, very careful.

• 103.Page 170.To be comfortable in this world, and also in the 'inside', 'understanding' should blossom fully. 104.Page 171. Desiring to be without desires is Spiritual ego.

-- Subtlety 1.

Desiring to be without desires is equal to leaving the monkey and having caught the demon.

-- Subtlety 2.

105.Page 172. A man was walking here and there within a boat. When the

boatman asked him as to why he was walking, why couldn't he sit down...,

it seems he said**, "Keep quiet. I am going urgently going to the other side of the river."**

Though he was in the boat, he did not enjoy the boat-ride. Though man is in the body, he does not enjoy life.

Reason: It is only the pungency of the mind which produces the hurry, not allowing him to be at ease!

-- Dissolve that pungency.

• 106.Page 173. The divine nectar which reduces the pungency of the mind is understanding.
• 107.Page 174. As you become fire, you will become you.

• 112.Page 182. The mystic's anger Merciful rays which radiate at the right time, and in the right manner, to burn off the roots of ego of the mature disciple.
• 113.Page 183.Nature gives permission for all things. For living, for suffering, why, even for dying!

Which one do you permit?

114.Page 184. Zen master Yokka once said:

A mystic would smile even at a dagger which would take away his life.

Because he knows how to live even at the time of death he would remain balanced.

--- In case you become an enlightened one...

• 115.Page 185. God is searching for you.

You are searching for god. Not a wonder but truth.

• 116.Page 187. You are not yourself at all. If so, who are you...?
• 117.Page 188. Your trying to change yourself is a simple one appearing hard. Meditate deeply on this idea... You will begin to live.
• 118.Page 191. Only in the dictionary, Bliss, Energy and Intelligence will come before meditation.

In practical life it is quite the opposite only.

-- Greatness of Meditation.

119.Page 192. Meditation formula. See only as a witness.

Mental scenes.

• Do not stop!
• Do not follow!
• Do not create!

Continue to watch. Thoughts, Scenes, Feelings will begin to stop. Then, they will stop away. Bliss will bubble up.

120.Page 193. Wake up, kill... To awaken!

• 121.Page 193. Just remaining peacefully only is 'Meditation'. Even while remaining without doing any thins and feeling comfortable is 'Bliss.' The subtleness of remaining peacefully only is 'enlightenment'.

• 123.Page 195. The divine nectar which prevents before the onset of diseases and mental pains, and remove them after they have already

126.Page 201. Do not give away your rights!

The wisdom energy which roams about throughout the limbs of the body!

The bliss of deeply enjoying all things

Peace, which remains undisturbed, whatever happens!

• All can get all these things due to the alchemy of meditation.

-- This is man's birth right.

127.Page 202. Subtle rules for meditation alchemy.

• "In the inside... what you are unable to see, continue to see.
• "Try without trials".
• "Consciously feel, what cannot be felt. Deeply feel."
• "Listen to the sound of silence."

Proof: After having read this, if it looks like a puzzle for you, it is confirmedly appears that you have not got meditative experience even once.

Do meditation with due sincerity. Let alchemy happen.

128.Page 203. Even what is impossible will be possible.

Enlightened master is not one who has come over to tell you "It is possible by you."

To easily do and finish even that which is not possible by you, the person who has come over to show and feed you with necessary intellect, energy and the path, is only the enlightened master.

129.Page 204. The paths to enlightenment can be explained step by step like

ordinary scientific formulae. It can be learnt easily as an interesting lesson. From the second you become an enthusiastic student!

130.Page 206. The teacher is one who wakes up the teacher who is within you.

• 131.Page 207. A + B = C. You + Awareness = Enlightenment.
• 132.Page 210. Do not go to those masters who tell you not to go other masters.

133.Page 211. Do not get angry.

Do not desire.

Do not grieve.

First of all, anger, desire and grief should be explained. Further to that, to discard them, the correct (meditation) technique should be given.

A true enlightened master will do only this.

134.Page 212. One who tests the master is a spectator.

One who has recognised the master is a devotee. One who has understood the master is a disciple.

135.Page 213. Wish to say...

• Bliss! Bliss!! Bliss!!! That is Possible. Possible.. Possible... For all... Certainly for all. 136.Page 214. Let all hear the wisdom doctrines.

Let the desire to listen to that blossom in all.

-- Emperor Asoka.

Do not read the wisdom doctrines. Drink.

-- Zen statement.

Wisdom doctrines are not ones which smoothly descend in you. They are...

Very strong chisels called 'wisdom of self-realization'! It is only passing beyond unnecessary logical arguments and implementing them practically, is 'Drinking' and is beyond mere reading.

Do it and see. It will sculpt you as a very nice person.

137.Page 216. Realize consciously.

Tell the world "I am an enlightened person"

138.Page 220. One can just spend time saying "I am worshipping god's picture" without the happening of surrender at all. One cannot spend time with god in human form and with a divine man, without the happening of surrender.

• Human god – man.
• Divine man – Mystic (Enlightened master)

139.Page 221. Until surrender happens, man will be searching god. The very moment surrender happens, god will come running in search of the man.

• 140.Page 222. 'Surrender' has got the strength to work deeply upon ego.

141.Page 223. Which is surrender?

• Without any frictions in relationships.
• Without any agitations of feelings.
• Without any lack of enthusiasm at all,
  • -- remaining in this state is the state of surrender.

-- What is the way for surrender to happen?

Take efforts to remain calm and composed during the above said circumstances. Whatever be the changes that are required to attain the carefulness, make all those changes. Surrender will happen.

142.Page 224.

• Do not desire to fight with the enemies. -- Mohammed Nabi.

• Do not fight with anybody else other than you. -- Rishi's statement. -- In some way or the other, man goes on fighting. It is only the inside mental unrest that has changed man as one without peace.

Until such time the inner peace is not born...

it is only the outer peace which would affect him first. For total rest and for relief from fatigue, man should get inner peace even by fighting with his own self. Till then, man will only wish to bother others.

Bother the botheration. Surrender will happen.

• 143.Page 227. Bad happens, when you oppose. 144.Page 228. For good to happen...

It is enough to let it happen whatever good is presently happening.

145.Page 232. In "I am right" 'I' should be broken, and 'right' alone should be understood.

• 146.Page 233. More than those beloved ones who praised your words and actions, first of all express your gratitude to those bad people who pointed out your mistakes on your face. -- Socrates.

In shaping you up, more than your friends, it is only your enemies, who play a major role in it.

• 147.Page 234. It takes a lot of maturity and courage to point out the rights of the enemy and the wrongs of the friend.

148.Page 235. To get maturity, become closer.

In a crowded bus, if you step on somebody's foot, you would ask for excuse in a polished manner saying, "Oh, it is too crowded". In the home, if you step on some elder's foot...

you will bow down, touch his feet, respect him and ask for pardon.

In a room, if you step on a friend's foot, you would not ask for excuse. You would just smile.

-- If you step on your son's foot...

you would not even bother at all.

As the closeness increases...

customs become meaningless!

Right, wrong, fairness, unfairness do not at all come into picture. Reason: The conscious feeling of increased affection which has formed in you is so much mature.

148.Page 237. Truth is only this...

Fashion! (Like a snake) You only have nourished it, Duly feeding it with milk.

149.Page 241. The wax doll created by relatives is the human quality. That is why I say, that the wax doll can be beautified. You yourself can very easily chisel and shape it.

150.Page 242. Way to live a pleasant life.

"As long as the closeness between you and yourself is less, it is not possible for you to become close with any one."

-- Sufi teaching.

151.Page 243. A penance statement: Be alone! Be awake! Be hungry!

This is rather difficult for the modern man. Therefore I say...

Be together!

Be in depth! Eat and be there!

Live together and be sharing. Live deeply enjoying. Eat, not for taste, but for hunger. Whatever you do, do it in full. Be drowned in it itself. You will reach fullness.

152.Page 244. For a man, who has perfected his mind,
