[To become so centered that anyone coming to you with an opinion simply forgets. You can kill Jesus or Buddha but not push them.]
[Creativity comes easily to those who are loose and natural. Doing anything becomes a creative phenomenon. Touching something turns it into art, saying something into poetry. Even walking is creating a rhythm. Not because of obsession: simply being filled with energy makes you create.]
Much happens but nobody is the doer.
[A giver knows they have given and would like you to recognize it by giving them a receipt saying “Yes, you have given me”, thanking them, feeling grateful to them. This is not a gift but a bargain, where something is expected in return. They give to get.]
[Birds don’t need any religion.]
[Perfection without future evolution is dead.]
[Danger is life, and only the dead are beyond risk.]
[Obsession with a secure path leads to marriage and society.]
[Response is from the situation whereas reaction is from habit.]
[Bliss is just a word: you can desire it but not know what it is. Only one who has tasted it can give it to you, and without doing anything: from their presence alone the unknown flows toward you.]
[A master is an availability, not a teacher. A teacher may not know, having perhaps learned from other teachers. A master gives you a taste.]
[A guru has not mastered anything, or gone through training, or disciplines himself. Rather than mastering art, they have lived life completely, natural, and loose—without force, by moving with the winds and allowing nature its course. Through millions of experiences of suffering, pain, bliss, happiness, they have matured. Ripe and heavy with the fruit, ready to fall, they can fall into you if you are ready to receive. Pregnant and heavy with the divine, he is ready to pour down, only a thirsty earth is needed.]
[A guru is God’s address.]
[A great teaching doesn’t give you instructions for doing, as it is concerned with your being.]
You are already that which you can be.
[If someone says ’there is no time to rest because it compromises a goal’, tantra says running and being in a hurry causes one to miss.]
[Yogis who simply fast and repeat mantras are dulling their nervous systems and ability to respond.]
[Standing on your head for extended periods overflows the tiny nerves and destroy them. Humans keep the blood flow regulated by standing, whereas animals keep their brain at body level.]
[Remaining homeless helps you find the real home. Avoid abiding anywhere and you’ll abide in yourself. You can enjoy a relationship but don’t cling.]
[The parable of the prodigal son] means that if you remain on the right path, you will not be celebrated by existence. You will be a simpleton, you will not be enriched by life. You will not have any salt in you; you may be nutritious, but no spices. You will be very simple, good, but your goodness will not have a complex harmony in it. You will be a single note, not millions of notes falling into a melody. You will be a straight line, with no curves and no corners. Those curves and corners give a beauty, they make life more mysterious, they give depth. You will be shallow in your sainthood, you will not have any depth in you.
[Mantra forces the causes into your unconscious, delaying transformation. Tantra awakens for better awareness.]
[The symptom is useful in that it keeps nagging you when something is wrong.]
[Never seek someone to help: only an enlightened on can help, and it flows naturally. A true master never tries to change anyone: like a subtle fragrance they surround you and enter only if you take a whiff.]
[Meditation is just coming back home to rest, not even a prayer or mantra.]
Your seeking creates a smoke around the flame. You go on running around and around, you stir much dust, and you create much smoke, and it is your own effort that stirs the dust and creates the smoke, and the flame becomes hidden. Rest a little, let the dust settle back to the earth. And if you are not running very fast, not in a hurry, you will not create smoke. By and by, things settle and the inner light is revealed.
[The idle mind is not of the devil but of God. By being empty we are able to receive.]
[You don’t sleep by doing anything: when activity stops, you simply go into sleep.]
[Relaxation means the moment is enough: feeling yourself, and being present is so satisfying it’s too much.]
[Activity is goal-oriented and constantly turns the present into a means for the future, thus ensuring relaxation remains on the horizon and never comes.]
[The celebrator doesn’t need to create anything because everything already exists and they are grateful for the abundance.]
[Don’t desire anything, including spiritual things, God, or liberation. When you are desire-less, the seed explodes.]
[Do whatever you like, but take each action with full awareness.]
[Darkness can never become ingrained because it it NOT.]
[Experiences are illusory: only the one who experiences them is true. Pay attention to the witness.]
[The sense organs are windows, not projectors.]
[Not ‘one remains’ but ’two is gone’.]
[Trying to not think a thought gives energy to it, and it will come back to bother you.]
[The solution is always to watch.]
[The root is never above ground: attacking the visible is like fighting shadows.]
[Mind is like a crowd: we think something larger exists but there are only the individual thoughts arranged together tightly.]
[Pay attention to the gaps between thoughts.]
[Even clinging to a thought is not possible because it will eventually die: they aren’t yours and don’t belong to you—just visiting.]
[Watch for things that neither come nor go, like the sky.]
