Love is life, love is god, love is sannyas!

When sadness comes, just sit by the side and look at it and say, "I am the watcher, I am not sadness," and see the difference. Immediately you have cut the very root of sadness. It is no more nourished. It will die of starvation. We feed these emotions by being identified with them.

I love this world because it is imperfect. It is imperfect, and that's why it is growing; if it was perfect it would have been dead.

Devotion has its own strange ways. It is not something rational, logical, something that can be explained to you. But it is something, if you go on growing from a student into a disciple, from a disciple into a devotee, and you come so close to the master that there is no distinction at all.

One just needs a little alertness to see and find out: Life is really a great cosmic laughter.

If you are not capable of being alone, your relationship is false. It is just a trick to avoid your loneliness, nothing else.

The most fundamental message of Gautama the Buddha is not God, is not soul... it is freedom: freedom absolute, total, unconditional. He does not want to give you an ideology, because every ideology creates its own slavery.
