In samadhi, in the highest form of meditation, the same thing happens: the mind stops functioning... but you are conscious. That is the only difference, but the difference that makes the difference. One is fully alert, luminous. One is there witnessing, watching, but there is no cloud of thought. The sky is utterly empty: as far as you can see you cannot see any content.

When you attain to an egoless emptiness great creativity happens.

Fearlessness is not the absence of fear, fearlessness is the total presence of fear with the courage to face it.

There is nothing ugly about death; but man, out of his fear, has made even the word, death ugly and unutterable. People don't like to talk about it. They won't even listen to the word death.

Love brings freedom. Loyalty brings slavery.

You want a love which is born out of meditation, not born out of the mind.

Don't analyze, celebrate it.
