And meditation is nothing but enjoying your beautiful aloneness. Celebrating yourself; that's what meditation is all about.

Only a fulfilled heart can pray, because only a fulfilled heart can be grateful and can feel the grace descending.

Everything that is of authentic value in life has arisen out of meditation. There is no other way. Meditation is the mother of art, music, poetry, dance, sculpture. All that is creative, all that is life-affirmative, is born out of meditation. All that is life-negative - hate, anger, jealousy, violence, war - is born out of the mind. Man has two possibilities: mind and meditation.

Become alert! Relationship destroys love, destroys the very possibility of its birth.

In my vision, the thing that man needs first and foremost is a meditative consciousness.

This is what meditation is all about, just becoming a watcher. Failure comes, success comes, you are praised, you are condemned, you are respected, you are insulted - all kinds of things come, they are all dualities. And you go on watching. Watching the duality, a third force arises in you; a third dimension arises in you. The duality means two dimensions: one dimension is happiness; another is unhappiness. Watching both, a depth arises in you: the third dimension, witnessing, sakshin.

The past is not clinging to you; YOU are clinging to the past. Once you are not clinging, the past simply EVAPORATES!
