Man is Part of the Whole: Silence, Love, Joy, Truth, Compassion, Freedom and Grace Quotes

“The heart is small, but it has the capacity to love infinite. Man is born with the potential to become an ocean of love. But few people attain to this innate potential. The society, the culture, the civilization, the politicians, the organized church, the priests and the vested interests are all against the individual. They sacrifice the individual for the sake of the collective, the unconscious masses. The collective does not need love, on the contrary the collective needs hate. The Christians have to hate the Mohammedans, because the collective can only remain together in hate. One country has to hate another country, otherwise it will fall apart.In times of war countries become united against a common enemy. When they donot have a common enemy they start fighting amongst themselves. The individual can grow only through love and the collective needs hate, so thereis a conflict between the interests of the individual and the interests of the collective  crowd, the collective mob. The individual has to be very aware not to be exploited by the unconscious crowd.Unless the individual is aware, you can lose the opportunity to grow, to become mature and to attain your innate potential in life.”

“God does not speak to us from the outside. God speaks from your innermost core. But we do not hear, because that still, small voice is lost in the turmoil of the mind. Meditation is the science of stilling the mind, so that the inner voice can be heard. When you started hearing the inner voice, no other guide is needed. Then God is your guide. Then we do not have to choose between different alternatives, because then he directs you from within towards that which is right Meditation is learning the art of making the mind silent. And the art can be reduced to a simple maxim: to watch the mind. Watch the mind and what goes on in the mind without evaluation, without condemnation and without appreciation. Just be a watcher of the mind with awareness and acceptance. When you can watch the mind by and by it becomes silent. And the day the mind is silent, one hears the inner voice. And for the first time you have found the inner guide, the true spiritual teacher. The outer spiritual teacher helps you to find the inner spiritual teacher.”

“When you become one with God, when you exist in harmony with the whole, your life becomes a joy. The moment one becomes harmonious with God, one has found the divine within oneself. Jesus says: "I and my father in heaven is one." He is crucified because of this great statement, because the small minds cannot tolerate it. Truth have suffered much, because people are so mediocre. They cannot rise a little higher to see the truth. Before one can understand the truth, one need to go through a radical change. One needs eyes to see and ears to hear. One needs a new vision. Without God we are small and tiny, and we are struggling against a vast universe. The spiritual journey means to decide: from now on I will get more and more in tune with the whole. I will not try to remain separate from the whole. I will not try to be an isolated island. I will become one with the ocean.”

“It is through the grace of God that one is saved. The spiritual journey to God consists of three steps: let-go, grace and to become a servant of God. Unless God saves us there is no way to be saved. To understand that man is helpless is of great significance. The deliverance is through grace, not by your efforts. Our efforts will come out of ignorance. It is through the grace of  God that one is saved. All that is required on our part is to let-go and allow him to save us. But very few people allow God to save them. They resist, the fight and the struggle. Onceyou let-go and allow God to save you, you become a servant of God. Once you are saved you have to serve.”

“Only love knows how to forgive. Love knows how to be compassionate. Love knows how to accept the limitations of a human being. Love knows that nobody is perfect. True love knows how to accept a person with all his limitations, and with all his imperfections. Love know how to love a person as he is. Learn to grow in love. The more you love, the more you can just be. And to just be is to be religious. Love is the secret to transform our being into a blessing to ourselves, to others and to existence itself.”

“Remember that you are love. The society wants you to forget that you are love. The society creates all kinds conditionings, so that you will not remember that you are love. Jesus says that God is love. If God is love it means that all is love, because all comes from God. Bit the society lives on hate, anger, greed, ambition, power, violence and war. War is the way of society. Society is very animalistic. Even animals are not so ugly. Animals have a grace, which man has lost. Meditation means to be initiated into love. Meditation and love are synonymous words. If you can love, then God is not far away. Then God is in the heartbeat of your being. Wherever love is, God is. Love is the fragrance of God.”

“Meditation means the meeting of the individual with the universal, the meeting of the part with the whole. That is what we are seeking and searching for. Meditation is a bridge between the part and the whole. It is a bridge between you and God. There is one thing to be fulfilled: you have to slowly disappear. In the same proportion as you disappear, God starts appearing. At the ultimate meeting point, you are not found at all, only God is found. Meditation is a subtle death and resurrection. It is the death of the small ego, and a rebirth of the ultimate.”

“The essence of religion is love. It is very simple. No rituals, ideologies and dogmas are needed. It is a very simple approach towards life. The seeker of truth has to be in a love affair with existence. The question is not whom you love, the thing that matters is that you should love twenty four hours a day. Your love should be like your breathing. Love has the same relationship to the soul as breathing has to the body. Sometimes you are loving with a friend,,sometimes you are loving to a tree and sometimes you are loving to a river. The soul exists through love, but many people don't have any soul, because they have never started to love. Many people assume that they have a soul, but it is only a potential. If they start loving, their soul will become a reality. Love transforms our potential soul into actuality. It is the greatest miracle of life. It is the greatest mystery of life. There is nothing higher than love. Love is a relationship with the whole. Love is a friendship with everything. Society has not prepared us for it. On the contrary, society has prepared us for hatred, power, ambition, violence, jealousy, possessiveness and domination. Society has prepared su for kinds of ego trips, but it has not prepared us for love. Love goes against all these things. A loving person cannot be an egoist. That is poison for love. It will kill the spirit of love. One need not be a Christian, a Hindu or a Mohemmedan to be religious. All that one needs to be religious is to be loving. And through love the soul isborn. Suddenly you start feeling a new quality inside your being. A new door has opened to the shrine, where your center of life exists. And it slowly fills your whole being with life, love and light.”

“Love is another name for your inner light. Life becomes dull without love. Life is dark without love. With love life becomes full of light. When your inner light burns bright, love, joy, truth, intelligence and creativity arises- and life becomes full of beauty and meaning. Life is life only when love is burning bright inside you; life is life only when love is so bright that it starts radiating around you, and it starts reaching others. Then it is not only a blessing to you, it is also a blessing to everybody else. A real man is an enrichment to the world, to existence. He contributes much.And unless you contribute something, you will never feel joyful. It is through contributing something to existence that you become creative, and you participate in the work of the creator. To be creative is to be part of God.”

“Everybody is born with the potential to grow, but the potential to grow can only happen in a climate and atmosphere of love. The society, the state, the education system, the church, the vested interests and the media, don't provide you with the right climate for growth. They teach you hate in such subtle ways that you never become aware that hatred is being taught. You are being poisoned, and your source of love is destroyed. Nationality, religion, class, gender and race mean hatred. If you are loving humanity is one. Then there are no countries, boundaries and divisions. Love unites and hatred divides. The whole society is rotted in hatred. The society is continuously preparing for hatred and war. The history of humanity can be divided into two periods: peace and war. But the so-called peace is just a preparation for war. Every war is so destructive that it takes almost ten years to have another war. Humanity is just insane. And when people continuously prepare for war, they become like animals. They even become worse than animals, because animals have a certain nobility and they don't kill for cruelty, but man falls below that. Man can grow only through love. It is only in the climate of love that man can grow. It is love that makes you a human being for the first time.”

“The heart is always young. The heart lives in the moment. It never accumulates the past. It lives in the here and now. The mind is always old. The mind accumulates  the past. It goes on accumulating  experiences. It goes on becoming older the more experiences it accumulates. That is why the heart and the mind never are in agreement, because the heart lives in spontaneously in the moment and the mind talks about the past. The mind can never know reality, because the past is standing between like a wall. And the wall becomes bigger every day. That is why children are more alive, loving, spontaneous and beautiful than old people. Old people lives in the past and everything spontaneous is impossible for an old man. Love give you a feeling of being alive, but marriage is an invention of the mind. Marriage is a poor substitute for love. Marriage is an institution, which is more safe, economic and worldly. The organized religions are also inventions of the mind, and it was mind that crucified Jesus. Only the heart can move into meditation. Only the heart is the hope for man: if man moves from the head to the heart, and starts to listento the heart and follow the heart. That is the only hope for man.”
