The word `ecstasy` is beautiful; it simply means `standing out.` Out of what? Standing out of your ego, your personality, your mind; getting out of the whole structure in which you have lived - not only lived but with which you have become identified. Standing out of all this, just a pure witness, a watcher on the hills - and everything is left deep down in the valley.

The mind is continuously running around. It never sits, it can't sit. Sitting seems to be death to it, and in a way it is.

ordinary is the door for extraordinary.

Love is overflowing joy. Love is when you have seen who you are. Then there is nothing left except to share your being with others.

Life is a mirror, it reflects your face. Be friendly, and all of life will reflect friendliness.

Much is being missed because of fear. We are too attached to the body and we go on creating more and more fear because of that attachment. The body is going to die, the body is part of death, the body is death - but you are beyond the body. You are not the body; you are the bodiless. Remember it. Realize it. Awaken yourself to this truth - that you are beyond the body. You are the witness, the seer.

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