You shout and the valleys shout, or you sing and the valleys sing. Each heart is a valley. If you pour love into it, it will respond. The first lesson of love is not to ask for love, but just to give. Become a giver. And people are doing just the opposite. Even when they give, they give only with the idea that love should come back. It is a bargain. They don't share, they don't share freely. They share with a condition. They go on watching out of the corner of their eye whether it is coming back or not. Very poor people... they don't know the natural functioning of love.

To remain absolutely free is what a true and authentic life is. So never gather any character - remain characterless.

Sadness is not necessarily something bad. Don't judge it as a bad or negative quality.

A man of knowing attains to a sense of humour. Let this always be remembered. If you see someone who has no sense of humour, know well that that man has not known at all. If you come across a serious man, then you can be certain that he is a pretender. Knowing brings sincerity but all seriousness disappears. Knowing brings a playfulness; knowing brings a sense of humour. The sense of humour is a must.

The moment you go in, all connections with the outside world are broken; all bridges are broken. In fact, the whole world disappears.

The people who crucified Jesus were not able to see his godliness at all; they could only see the mischief in him.

That is one of the great secrets of life, that life is a movement. And if you are stuck somewhere you lose contact with life.
