Pleasure is a sort of oblivion, a forgetfulness. Pain is remembrance, you cannot forget pain.

Jesus was not famous in his day. If there were no Bible, there would have been no record of him. The record belongs to his four disciples; nobody else has ever mentioned him, whether he existed or not. He was not famous. He was not successful. Can you think of a greater failure than Jesus? But, by and by, he became more and more significant; by and by, people recognized him. It takes time.

Jesus moved in a very poor world. People were seeking their own solutions. Many were helped - not that Jesus was helping - they were helped. And Jesus says again and again: "It is your faith that has healed you." When you have faith, compassion can pour into you. When you have faith, you are open to compassion.

You become angry because something or someone has done something against your expectations.

Forget about getting, simply give; and I guarantee you, you will get much.

Enlightenment will be now the beginning, not the end. Beginning of a non-ending process in all dimensions of richness.

So I am not teaching you to be good, I am not teaching you to be bad; I am teaching you only to be whole. To be whole is to be healthy and to be healthy is to be holy.
