Misery nourishes your ego - that's why you see so many miserable people in the world. The basic, central point is the ego.

If you become silent after your laughter, one day you will hear God also laughing, you will hear the whole existence laughing - trees and stones and stars with you.

All duality is a mind creation, all duality is created by the clinging and attached mind. When there is no attachment there is no duality.

The more you are possession oriented, the less happy you will be. The less happy you are, the farther away from the Divine, from prayer, from gratitude you will be. Be austere. Live with the necessary and forget about desires; they are fantasies in the mind, ripples in the lake. They only disturb you, they can never lead you to any contentment.

No thought, no mind, no choice — just being silent, rooted in yourself.

Your honesty, Your love, Your compassion should come from your inner being, not from teachings and scriptures.

Love and ego cannot go together. Knowledge and ego go together perfectly well, but love and ego cannot go together, not at all. They cannot keep company. They are like darkness and light: if light is there darkness cannot be. Darkness can only be if light is not there. If love is not there the ego can be; if love is there the ego cannot be. And vice versa, if ego is dropped, love arrives from all the directions. It simply starts pouring in you from everywhere.
