“God is here. This truth should fill our lives, and every Christmas should be for us a new and special meeting with God, when we allow his light and grace to enter deep into our soul.”
“God is herenow. All that you see is God. God is not something beyond; God is something within. Or, if you like paradoxes, you can call God the within beyond or the beyond within. But God is intrinsic, God is the innermost core of existence.
Unless you start in the right direction, you will go on missing. Never believe in a God who is separate from His creatures and the creation. He is not, He cannot be.
He is one with it: He is in it, He is it. Once this is understood, you start flowing; your whole life becomes a prayer.”
“God is herenow, always herenow. God is THIS very condition.
He is THIS very condition! THIS MOMENT, within and without, God is.
And God is not something sacred, holy, far away again in heaven. God is all the conditions - and when I say all, I mean all: the sacred/the profane, the body/the soul, matter/consciousness. The lowest of the low is God. and the holiest of the holy is God, and there is not any difference between the two.
To understand it is to relax. Then there is nowhere to go, then there is nothing to do. Then what is left is celebration, then what is left is to live joyously. Rejoice moment-to-moment, and don't divide things.
Drinking tea is as sacred as doing yoga. Sleeping silently, relaxed, is as sacred as prayer. Looking at a tree, talking to a friend, walking early in the morning, working in the factory or in the office, is as holy as anything else. This is the understanding that is needed for Tao to happen.
Tao is already happening; just your misunderstanding... Tao is already showering - in the sunrays, on the green trees. But you just think, "This is just the sun and they are just the trees - where is God? These are just people - where is God?" You want God to be something specific, and that's why you miss...
God is not something special, not something specific. God is all these conditions, God is this totality. This moment - my talking to you, your listening to me, this communion, this silence, this bridging - yes, this is God, this is Tao.
So forget all about achieving. Don't become an achiever. My sannyasins have to drop all kinds of ambitions - material. worldly and spiritual - all.
My teaching to you is: live herenow! Drop ALL kinds of ambitions. This is sannyas: drop ALL kinds of ambitions, and see the miracle happening. Once you drop all ambitions you will have so much energy left that there will be no way other than to celebrate. You will have so much energy in you - all the energy that is involved in ambitions is released because ambitions have been dropped - and that energy becomes an oceanic experience within your soul. That is paradise, that is God.
God is not a goal, but an experience of a non-ambitious mind. Tao has not to be achieved! The achievers go on missing it. The non-achievers suddenly realize that they have always lived in paradise, but because of their ambitions they were not able to see it.
..just try to understand what I am sharing with you. I am sharing with you this moment, this space. I am not giving you any goals. I am not driving you crazy for some achievement in the future.
I am not inspiring you to run and chase some shadows. I am simply imparting to you what has happened to me. I want it to be shared with you. Dropping all ambition, I have arrived.
Drop all ambitions and just be, and see the beauty and the benediction of existence.
It is incredible, it is simply far-out! You have never dreamt about it, how beautiful it is. You could not have dreamt about it, it surpasses all your imaginations and fantasies. Its beauty is unbelievable, and the grace that is showering on you is just showering for no reason at all. It is very unreasonable! God does not give you because you are worthy. God gives you because He has so much, He cannot contain it!”

Everything is a tool of God, from DNA to the weather.”

“God is in the mountains. Impassive, immovable, jagged giants, separating the celestial from the terrestrial with eternal diagonal certainty. As if silently monitoring the beating heart of the creator from the universe's perfect birth. Stood in the thin air and the awe, one inhales God, involuntarily acknowledging that we are but fragments of a whole, a higher thing. The mountains remind me of my place, as a servant to truth and wonder. Yes, God is in the mountains. Perhaps the pulpit too and even in the piety of an atheist's sigh. I don't know; but I feel him in the mountains.”
