Not lost

I don't know
But I'm not lost

The word is false

The word always belongs to the past
And it cannot carry the experience to you
You may hear it, but you won't understand it
Seek the authentic experience
Once you experience yourself, the word is no longer needed

Leave the books behind


The first thing to remember is: your question must be yours. Then the second thing to remember is: the answer must be yours.

Come out of the jungle of words and feel what you want, what your desire is, and follow it wheresoever it leads. Sooner or later you will come to the divine. It may take a little longer, but the search will be real.

Pain and suffering

Pain is simply pain, a simple fact; there is no suffering in it. Suffering comes from your desire that the pain should not be there, that there is something wrong in pain.

Pleasure and pain defining life

I've seen it so many times: "I'm not going to get involved because I'm afraid of getting hurt". Life will be missed, because the music of life comes from the tension between pleasure and pain. Destroy or negate the polarity and life will be dull, stale.

Love and pain

If it's painful, it means you also loved. Love and pain come together. You can accept pain, transform its pure energy. Take this opportunity to reflect and understand.

Pride

I sit where I can't be pushed back any further.

Start with you

Instead of finding a beautiful woman, start creating a beautiful man within you

Truth

Man is born with a question mark in his heart.

Real love

If love is really love... Just being in the presence of the other you feel suddenly happy, just being together you feel ecstatic, just the very presence of the other fulfills something deep in your heart... something starts singing in your heart, you fall into harmony. Just the very presence of the other helps you to be together; you become more individual, more centered, more grounded. Then it is love.

Love is not a passion, love is not an emotion. Love is a very deep understanding that somebody somehow completes you. Somebody makes you a full circle. The presence of the other enhances your presence. Love gives freedom to be yourself; it is not possessiveness.

Be alert, and when you start feeling with someone that just the presence, the pure presence -- nothing else, nothing else is needed; you don't ask anything -- just the presence, just that the other is, is enough to make you happy... something starts flowering within you, a thousand and one lotuses bloom... then you are in love, and then you can pass through all the difficulties that reality creates. Many anguishes, many anxieties -- you will be able to pass all of them, and your love will be flowering more and more, because all those situations will become challenges. And your love, by overcoming them, will become more and more strong.

Love is eternity. If it is there, then it goes on growing and growing. Love knows the beginning but does not know the end.

I don't know anything

"I know only one thing: that I don't know anything at all" - Socrates

Innocence and Wonder

Jesus said: "Unless you are like small children, you will not enter in the kingdom of God."

A lover

A girl came back home from the school and asked her grandmother, "Granny, what is a lover ?"
"A lover!!" the grandmother said. "Let me think. Lov... Lover... Oh, my God!"
She rushed to the wall, pulled aside the hanging rug, revealing a hidden closet door. She unlocked the door, and a skeleton of a young man fell out from the closet.

Bad luck

With a pile of 300 resumes on his desk and a need to pick someone quickly, the boss told his assistant to make calls on the bottom 50 and toss the rest.
"Throw away 250 resumes?"asked the assistant, shocked, "What if the best candidates are in there?"
"You have a point," he said. "But then again, I don't need people with bad luck here."
