With effort, reach to effortlessness. With seeking, reach to a state of no-seeking. With mind, arrive at no-mind.

When you open up to the ultimate, immediately it pours into you. You are no longer an ordinary human being - you have transcended. Your insight has become the insight of the whole existence. Now you are no longer separate - you have found your roots.

Meditation is the technique of inner conquest - and that is the real challenge. Those who have any guts should accept the inner challenge. It is easy to reach the moon, it is easy to reach Everest; it is far more difficult to reach your own centre. But the moment you reach it all ecstasy is yours, and forever and forever. You attain to a bliss which cannot be taken away from you.

The whole search of religion is for that witness: how to find that which is real.

Love is authentic only when it gives freedom. Love is true only when it respects the other person's individuality, his privacy.

A really religious person has no theology. Yes, he has the experience, he has the truth, he has that luminosity, but he has no theology.

To live out of understanding is compassion. Never try to practice it, simply relax deep into meditation. Be in a state of let-go in meditation and suddenly you will be able to smell the fragrance that is coming from your own innermost depth. Then the flower blossoms and compassion spreads. Meditation is the flower and compassion is its fragrance.
