“Love makes man an ocean. It gives man a kind of unboundedness, an infinity. It helps you to know that you are not defined by any limits. It helps you to know that you are not confined by the body or the mind. It helps you to now that you are not confined at all. It helps you to know that you are as vast as the open sky. It helps you know that even the sky is not the limit. There is no limit to you. That is the beauty of love. Love makes you aware of vastness. That is the first experience of godliness. And if the first experience happens, then other things follow in their own time. The first experience triggers a process. then everything follows and then you have not to do anything else. Just one thing you have to do, which is to start with love. Love as much as you can. Love as many people as possible. Love not only people, but trees, animals, birds, rocks, rivers and stars. Love means to become loving. Be love, so whatsoever you do should have the quality and flavor of love. Whatsoever you say you should say with love. Do not be rude to anybody or anything, because God permeated everything. Be love and you will know what meditation is. Meditation is an experience of love, and love brings you to the ocean, to the unbounded, to the vast. It will open the door of the temple of love. Only this door will open the door to the real temple where you will find the real God.”

“Meditation is the only way to know the deathless within ourselves. The body dies, but not you. The body is born, but you are not. You have been before birth, and you will be there after death. Life is not just an episode between birth and death. There are many births and many deaths in a long eternity of lives. Birth and death are just small events. They are like waves in a river which come and go, but the river remains. The river goes on and on. Unless this becomes your experience, one cannot live joyously,because the fear of death contaminates everything. The fear of death is the basic fear behind all fears. We may not be conscious of the fear of death, but it is always there. There are two basic taboos in the world: sex and death. We don't talk about sex, because sex is bound to bring up the question of death. We do not talk about death, because tha tbrings up fear. Meditation is the only way to face death. Meditation means becoming aware of your being. Then you can see clearly that you are not the body and you are not the mind. You become a witness to the body and the mind. As this becomes your deeper experience, a freedom arises in you. Remaining unidentified with the body and the mind, one becomes aware of eternity, of deathlessness. This awareness makes your whole like take a totally different perspective, a different vision. Then even death takes a totally new perspective. You will be able to see in death that the body is dropping, and that the body is dropping from you. The greatest experience in life is to see death clearly with awareness .It is the greatest experience, because one who can see death happening with awareness is never born in the body again.  Then he becomes part of the eternal flow of consciousness. He becomes part of the universal consciousness. He becomes part of God. Unless this experience happens you will have to come back again and again into the body. Life in the body is just like a school. If you  fail, you will have to come back. If you pass, then there is no need to come back. Everyone has the potential to pass, so go into meditation and make this your goal.”

“Meditation is the only way to know your being, which is already perfect. The inner being needs no perfection. It is already overflowing with joy, silence, love, truth, freedom and peace. Meditation makes you aware of that which is already perfect within yourself. It is a way of awakening one's own self.  And the moment your own self is awakened you are rooted in existence. Then you know that you are part of divine existence. Then you know that you are part of an organic unity of the whole. To experience it is to become divine. And to know oneself as part of the whole, an intrinsic part of the whole, bing great joy, because the most significant part of man's life is to know that he is needed by existence. Without meditation man feels useless, but with meditation man feels useful. With meditation man's passion becomes compassion. With mediation man rises to new heights, and compassion becomes unconditional love.”
