Tune in to bliss🔗

What we are, we experience that. What we wish to attract, we unconsciously tune into that. Strangely, we swing between joy and suffering, although we claim to want joy all the time. That is the paradox of life. Why does this happen? Because we are not always conscious of our real choices. When you consciously choose to live blissfully, no matter what the external circumstances, the same world which appeared to be filled with misery will suddenly appear to be blissful! This is because things have changed in you, the tuner in you has changed frequency. When you decide to tune into bliss, you will experience bliss inside and out. The choice is yours!

Seriousness is a virtue instilled in us by society. There is no need to be serious! Life itself is a magnificent drama and we its players. When we see ourselves a players in this drama, automatically life becomes a joy. The way to live in the world is like a lotus lives in a pond, untouched by the mud and the water, although fully immersed in it. This is the essence of life. What is seriousness going to achieve? Just be sincere in what you do and do it well, that is enough. The rest will be taken care of.

Emotions are a disturbance as long as you feel them as a disturbance! When you are in the peak of emotion, just shift focus to your undisturbed core, the witnessing consciousness. You will understand that it is only your periphery that is participating in the agitation. Your reality is an undisturbed center which is blissfully watching the turmoil in the periphery. Just decide to dis-identify yourself with your emotions and watch your reaction to the whole scene. Then you will know!

When you judge another, you have opened the door to your own misery. Without even being aware of it, you are constantly passing judgment on what you see, hear and feel. This is just a habit! You can easily live without judgment. When you drop this habit, you will understand what a liberation it is, because then, you will experience the lightness of not carrying any judgment. Once you unburden yourself of judgments, you will see that every moment is fresh, every person is new and everything is alright around you. Such is the power of being non-judgmental. You need to experience it to believe it.

There is no such thing as a stable relationship! Relationships change every moment in quality, in intensity and in expression. All relationships are based on individual responses and reactions at any given moment Because the two people who are involved are always changing, spontaneous, living beings, relationships will naturally always be in a state of flux. When you expect your relationship to stay the same always, you are inviting trouble for both! When this Truth is understood, detachment happens naturally. Forced detachment is not detachment at all. Real detachment is that which happens when you simply watch the play of mind in both, and carry on unperturbed. When this happens, there is no special relationship; the whole world becomes your friend and you welcome everyone as they are.

Life is the ultimate Master.

Life is continuously teaching, but we are not listening.

If you are intense and open, you will constantly be

learning from life.

Every time you are made to retreat, step back, life is

teaching you something

But we are so filled with our own ideas that we don't

learn the lesson.

Instead, we try to bring more energy to fight with life.

Life is so simple and direct, but we continuously

prepare ourselves to fight with it.

Don't build muscles to fight with life! Just look deeply

into life.

Every moment, life is opening new things to you. Be

intensely available.

Then suddenly you will realize that all of life is just

auspiciousness - even what you experience as the worst

things in life.

When you intensely approach life, you will realize that

even these things add tremendous understanding and

experience to you.

Living in the present is not enlightenment!

Living in the present is not enlightenment! That's what we always think. Living in past, present, future simultaneously is enlightenment.

It means that in your present moment, the essence of the whole past, the essence of the whole future will be present. If you are living just in the present moment, you have no freedom to correct your past and project your future.

If you are living only in the past and future, you have no freedom to change the present moment. Only if you are living in past, present and future, do you have the freedom to experience, the freedom to amend and the freedom to project - because the whole thing is in you! This is what I call living enlightenment.

You are always taught to be attentive. When you are in attention, you are 'at tension'! Attention can never lead you to the peak experience. Just be aware, that is enough. Attention is all-excluding, while awareness is all-encompassing. Spirituality is never exclusive, it is always inclusive. With awareness, you can see that the gates of God are within you, and they are already open

Spirituality is not moving from bondage to freedom. It is going beyond both and experiencing the ultimate freedom - the freedom from wanting both! Whether you are happy or sad, you are just moving a little distance away in the same spectrum, that's all. The idea is to move away from both and enjoy the state of lasting bliss, which is beyond both. That is true freedom.

You always think and talk about accepting others and their actions. How about accepting your own shortcomings? You will be surprised: when you accept your own shortcomings, you will experience a radical transformation within. When you accept your own emotions, you will own up to the fact that you actually have them; you will help bring them to the surface. When this happens, the emotions will simply leave you! You will be liberated.

It is the free decisions you made in the past which create your destiny today. If you have the intensity, this very moment you can shake the whole thing. You can undo the whole thing and bring yourself back to that complete freedom. You can create a new destiny. When you make yourself available to life, you have the energy and the Intelligence to undo or to rearrange or to recreate or to reorganize. Living in that complete freedom, creating your destiny at every moment, is what I call Living Enlightenment.

Move from fantasy to experience

Tension is nothing but the mismatch between reality and imagination. When you live too much with fantasy, reality is never enough. The imagination is always too big, and the experience seems too small! Because of this, we resist life at every moment. Understand all your troubles are not caused by reality. They are caused by your imagination! There is no need to renounce what you have. Just renounce what you don't have, it is enough! When you drop the imagination and flow with the reality, naturally you fall into deep relaxation.

Be very clear, mind is not a thing. It is an action! It is not an object. You don't have to fight with it. It is an action: every moment it just comes out of you. It is as if, every moment, you are spinning, spinning cotton into thread. You are spinning existence into words. This action is what is called mind. In your navel area, your life-force, your prana is there only as pure existence. When it moves up in the heart region, it is felt as experience. In the throat, it is felt as words. It gets converted into words. So you are constantly spinning thread out of cotton. You are constantly spinning words out of experience, out of existence.

Normally, when you are angry with someone, after throwing out your anger on him, you feel the fire of anger burning you as much as it burnt him! This means you are overusing your anger. When you act out of your being, you will have the clarity and awareness to use the anger only to the extent that it is needed. Then the anger will not burn inside you or cause guilt within you. The person receiving your anger will also receive only as much as necessary, so he will not be unduly disturbed. When you need to pay someone only ten dollars for a job, will you give them twenty dollars for it? No! Then why do you overpay when it comes to anger? Show only what is needed! Then, there will be no suffering for you or the other. This clarity comes to you when you are centered in your being.

Coming to the Master is the beginning of the end. When you come to a Master, what you are actually saying is that you want to end! You want to end as an individual; you want to end the suffering of this separate existence. Naturally, I will do everything I can to help you end! The problem is, once the Master starts his surgery, you forget why you are here. When I start the boiling, you try to jump out of the pot! Understand, the battle is not between you and the Master. It is between you and your own unconsciousness. The Master is only there to support you, to make it happen. If you remember this, you will put all your energy on the right side. Your effort will be intense and integrated.
