“Joy is the fragrance of meditation. Meditation means becoming more silent. Joy is possible only if we become silent. All that is needed to become silent is awareness. When we become aware and can watch, we find the music of silence.We can watch whatever is happening inside, and the moment it evaporates we are left with a deep silence. Then we have gone beyond, and we have reached beyond time. Then we realize our immortality. Religions have not been able to create a synthesis between silence and joy. They have failed in creating the whole man, because a man can be silent but if he is not joyful his silence becomes cold. Society prefers cold silence, because then you are not a trouble to anyone. Society does not want you to be alive. Society wants you to be an efficient machine. Society is more interested in mechanical efficiency than in human growth.  Therefore society goes on preaching to people to be silent and obedient. Then people lose their freedom, intelligence, joy, truth, love and courage.He loses his whole being to become a convenient cog in the wheel of society. The more powerful the society, the establishment, the media, the vested interests and the rich becomes, the more they become a threat to humanity and the more people  will become enslaved. The seeker of truth has to create a synthesis, where inner silence and outer joy is developed. Then your being is rooted in wholeness. To know it is to know God. To know it is to know all.”

“The most fundamental thing to understand is that life is God's gracious gift. Deep in our heart we have to understand that life is a tremendous gift, which has not to be wasted. Life is an opportunity to grow. We have to understand that each moment in life is precious. One has to look inwards. One should not remain concerned just with outside things, because that is how people waste their lives. One should start searching within and ask who we really are. One should go deeper into one's consciousness to find our authentic inner being. The moment you find your inner being all questions are answered. Then there is no confusion anymore, and a clarity arises. This is the moment when you understand how much the universe has given to you. And when you move into silence, you are moving into God.”
