Quote by Swami Dhyan Giten

“Man builds his life on sand. That is why everything he tries to do fail. His life does not have a foundation in the eternal. His life is built on the momentary. And when one house built on sand collapses; he starts to build another house. We never seem to learn anything. When one desire is frustrated, we immediately jump to another desire.  To desire means to go against the whole. Not to desire means to relax with the whole. it means to have no desire of one's own and to go with the whole. It means that whatsoever the whole wills is my will. I am not trying to achieve any individual goal.  The moment you try to achieve an individual goal, you are in trouble, because we are not separate from the whole. We have to learn to be be part of life, existence.  It is because of our individual goals that every day becomes a frustration. The seeker of truth has to build his house on a rock, which is only found in meditation. Meditation isa state of no-thought, no desire and no dreams. Then each moment will be a joy, because you are no more. Meditation means to know that we are no tseparate from life.  We are part of an infinite continent, which we can call God, truth, the ultimate, the absolute or the whole.”

“Love is the most divine quality. When you grow in love, you are growing towards God, the divine. When you stop growing in love, you stop growing. Some people go on accumulating money, power, status, position and knowledge. It is wasting life to collect trivia. It is only through love that something starts happening to your being. A new joy fills you from within, a new light dawns on you and a new awe and wonder about life starts moving through you. You begin to look into existence through the heart, which is the true window to life.”

“Meditation releases creativity. For the first time you will see the creative potential that you are carrying within yourself. Ordinarily we are not aware of this creative potential. Meditation opens all the windows and doors to our creativity. Suddenly you are aware of the open sky, the sun, the trees, the wind, the rain and the rivers. And the moment that you becomes aware of it, your heart starts singing and dancing with joy. Your whole life becomes poetry. Whatever you do bring the touch of creativity. Meditation starts a creative explosion which is infinite. Meditation is the beginning and there is no end to it.”
