Objects must cease, mind must become just a pure mirror - a mirroring, not mirroring anything - just a mirror without any object in it, a pure mirror. By dhyan, this purity of the mind is indicated. So first, no object should be in the mind. Mind must remain alone without thinking about anything - with no thought, just a consciousness, just an awareness, just an alertness. This alertness without any object is meditation.

This is the sleep: being absent, being not present to the present moment, being somewhere else.

Any action in which you can be total becomes meditation.

Joy is as infectious as any disease. When you see a few people dancing, suddenly you feel your feet are ready. You may try to control them, because control has been taught to you, but your body wants to join the dance. Whenever you have an opportunity to laugh, join; whenever you have an opportunity to dance, join; whenever you have an opportunity to sing, sing - and one day you will find you have created your paradise.

When love and hate are both absent everything becomes clear and undisguised.

Once you start drinking a little of meditativeness, a little of love, you start growing wings.

To me, each individual is far more valuable than society as a whole.
