Mind concentrates: it acts out of the past. Meditation acts in the present, out of the present.

Nothing has to be changed, because all is beautiful - that is enlightenment. All is as it should be, everything is perfect. This is the most perfect world, this moment lacks nothing - the experience of this is what enlightenment is.

Every moment you are different because you are not-- and unless you are, the divine cannot happen to you. To whom can it happen? You are not there.

Don't move the way fear makes you move. Move the way love makes you move. Move the way joy makes you move.

God is your very being. So the first thing is, don't think about enlightenment as a goal.

Being aware of awareness itself only consciousness can get you there to the truth of yourself the immortal inner being.

I have just instructed Laxmi to make a small temple for smoking here in the ashram. But you have to go very alert, aware, meditative! If you can smoke meditatively, it is perfectly beautiful. If it stops by being meditative, that too is perfectly beautiful. Life is sacred.
