Those who have known death from inside lose all fear of death.
To remain absolutely free is what a true and authentic life is. So never gather any character - remain characterless.
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.
Mind only thinks, meditation lives.
Expectation brings frustration. Private ambitions bring failures.
Meditation is nothing but withdrawing all the barriers .. thoughts, emotions, sentiments .. which criteria wall between you and existence. The moment they drop, you suddenly find yourself in tune with the whole; not only in tune, you really find you are the whole.
