All our attachments are outward oriented and hence this illusion.

For awareness you need not go to the Himalayas; you need not go anywhere. Your life gives you enough opportunities to be aware. Somebody insults you - listen to it in full awareness. And you will be surprised - the insult is no more an insult. You may even smile. It does not hurt; it hurts only when received in unawareness. Somebody praises and appreciates you - listen with alertness. And then nobody can persuade you to do foolish things. Nobody can bribe you; flattery becomes impossible. You will smile at the whole nonsense.

Whatever we say and mean by life is just a journey toward death. If you can understand that your whole life is just a journey and nothing else, then you are less interested in life and more interested in death. And once someone becomes more interested in death, he can go deep into the very depths of life; otherwise, he is just going to remain on the surface.

Meditation, perhaps, is the only alchemy that can transform a beggar into an emperor.

Enlightenment is when all hope disappears. Enlightenment is disappearance of hope.

When mind knows, we call it knowledge. When heart knows, we call it love. And when being knows, we call it meditation.

Drop envy and jealousy, otherwise there is no possibility , because love cannot exist where envy and jealousies exist.
