Love
Love is the spontaneous manifestation of the seeing, of the realization of this unity in which we are all knit - whatever our religion, caste, nationality or social status.
Ever Flowing Stream
When we really and sincerely pray, we see the whole life in a completely different light - that there is immortality without any metaphysical connotation.
And then birth, death, old age, pain, and what is called suffering, are all seen as part of the ever-flowing stream, ever changing and yet never changing.
All our prayer is meant to awaken ourselves to this truth.
A Meditation
Never mind, you have slept for years.
What does it matter if you don't make it this morning?
Tomorrow morning you'll start again.
That is a very beautiful form of meditation.
Patience
The Guru may have to instruct me once, twice, thrice.
Usually the Holy Men restrict themselves to three attempts.
My Guru would go up to ten - He had infinite patience.
If you still would not listen, He would not throw you out, but offer you some tea or coffee.
Awareness
It is not possible for us deliberately to perform non-egoistic action, or to live a non-egoistic life.
What is possible however is to be intensely aware within ourselves and to detect the play of the ego from moment to moment.
