First in the Morning

That’s how we become able to love: if we are loved we can love; if we are not loved we don’t know how to love, we don’t know what love is.

All the great masters of the world were teaching methods of moving your inner being into higher planes. They were helping people to grow wings. And all the churches have been trying to divide you because that is the fundamental way to rule over people: divide and rule. You can easily divide a person and then he becomes powerless; his energies start fighting within him, he becomes a chaos, then you can rule him. All the churches are interested not in transforming you but in enslaving you, in ruling you, in exploiting you.

First one has to become harmonious within oneself and then one can be harmonious with the universe, with the stars and the moon and the sun and the trees and the birds – one can merge into this whole, vast, infinite universe. There are two mergers: one within yourself, the first unity, and the second, with the whole, the second unity. And within these two steps the whole journey is complete.

desires bring other problems too: there will be jealousy, there will be possessiveness, there will be clinging, there will be fear, competition, comparison, and between all these boundaries you cannot be free. Unless you are free of all these, you are not free.

Iron chains are not as dangerous because you can see them, and because you can see them they can be broken. The chains created by desires are invisible, and because you cannot see them you go on thinking you are free. But a man living in desires is not a free man, he is living in constant bondage. He always desires more. His greed is his imprisonment: he will live like a prisoner and die like a prisoner.

The moment you are not identified with the body, when you know “I am separate, I am consciousness,” you are immediately freed from illness, old age, death.

People live identified with the body; that’s how the body becomes an imprisonment. Rather than helping you to grow toward the infinite, your identification with the body makes you very finite, very small. And that is one of the fundamental causes of misery: the body will get old, then you will feel afraid, scared – you are getting old. The body will be ill and then you will be in tremendous fear, and sooner or later the body is going to die. You may not think about it, but it is there. You see people dying – you cannot deny it. You may overlook it but you cannot deny it. You may not look at it, you may bypass it, but still it is there and deep down you know that you have to die. That creates a trembling, that creates a sadness inside that soon this life will be taken away from you and nothing is fulfilled yet, no flower has bloomed yet.

the moment you are born you bring a truth in your being. And unless that truth is expressed, you will not feel contented. Unless you deliver the message to the world, you will feel a deep discomfort because you are not fulfilling your duty toward existence.

Every human being brings a truth into the world. Every human being is a messenger of existence

You have to sing the song of your heart. You have to dance your dance. You have to be utterly individual, not an imitation, not a carbon copy. You have to bring out your original face. The moment you are able to reveal your original face to the world, your life will be fulfilled. Tremendous joy arises out of it.
