Quote by Swami Dhyan Giten

“We are all ancient people in the world. We have always been here and we will always be here. We existed before death and we will exist after death. Birth and death are small events in the eternal life. This insight happens only through meditation. If you remain identified with the body and the mind, then birth and death becomes the limits of your life. When you realize that you are not the body and the mind, you see that birth is not the beginning and death is not the end.  You are beginningless, endless. This insight makes you realize the world of eternity. And the deepest thirst and longing of man is to become eternal, to go beyond death and become deathless. Meditation belongs beyond birth and death. The real seeker of truth always searches for the eternal, the deathless. The worldly and mundane people searches for power, money, positions and possessions, which death will always take away from them. Only meditation cannot be taken away from you.  To find meditation is to have found the eternal, the deathless and the bottom of existence.”

“Quick spinning seasons Where everything speeds Achingly open spaces Free for next year’s trees Identities distilled To essence Sapping slowly Dissolving memory Hinting of patiently Waiting eternity All living things decay They cannot stay. Be Carefully To gain your Salvation Cleave The bonds That bind. Reflect, refract The undying light Though we may grieve There is no staying grief We are life’s loves Labours lost That leaf Then leave”

“Finally, a woman who has experienced her own mother as a destructive force--however justified or unjustified the charge--may dread the possibility that in becoming a mother she too will become somehow destructive. The mother of the laboring woman is, in any case, for better or worse, living or dead, a powerful ghost in the birth-chamber.”

“When a parent creates a child, in fact they have no idea about the history of that stream of consciousness, as in what that they did in their previous lives, and more importantly whether it will be a good entity, or a bad one. What they need to realize is that they have simply created the shell, or the chassis of the car, that the entity will enter and control. Genetic similarities and conditioning are the only tools that will help the parent to mould that child, as it evolves.”
