“Meditation is the most extraordinary thing if you know how to do it, and you cannot possibly learn from anybody; and that's the beauty of it. It isn't something you learn, a technique, and therefore there is no authority. Therefore if you will learn about yourself, watch yourself, watch the way you walk, the way you talk, how you eat, what you say, the gossip, the hate, the jealousy. If you are aware of it without any choice, all that is part of meditation, and as you go, as you journey, as that movement goes, all that movement is meditation. Then that movement is endless, timeless.”

“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.”

“Meditation is the only way to overcome fear. There is no other way. Why does meditation help us overcome fear? In meditation we identify ourselves with the vast, with the Absolute. When we are afraid of someone or something, it is because we do not feel that particular person or thing is a part of us. When we have established conscious oneness with the Absolute, with the Infinite Vast, the everything there is part of us. And how can we be afraid of ourselves?”

The practice of letting go
Of life each moment
Each in breath followed by out,
Receiving life, letting go
Practice letting go,
Then when death knocks on your door
You’ll invite him in”

You attain to a bliss which cannot be taken away from you.”

“Meditation is the way to be with ourselves and to learn to accept our own aloneness. In aloneness, I experiment with being consciously alone as a door to be egoless. In conscious aloneness, the ego can not function. In aloneness, you are not.
I have always been comfortable with my own aloneness as an inner source of love, joy, truth, silence and wholeness.
When we depend on other people, it becomes a bondage - instead of a freedom. I took this sunday as a meditation to be consciously alone, and to accept all feelings of pain, of not being loved and the fear of being nobody that would come up during the meditation. This meditation goes up and down during the day: at certain moments, I can totally accept my aloneness. It feels fine to accept that I am alone and that I am nobody. At other moments, I feel the pain of not being loved, when the meditation brings up how dependence on other people is a barrier to totally accept my aloneness.
I take a coffee at a restaurant. I am the only person that sits alone in the restaurant, while the other guests are couples and families eating sunday dinner. It brings up painful feelings of not being loved and wanting to be needed by other people, when I see how much people cling to each other in the couples and the families.
Escaping your aloneness through relationships and needing other people's attention through being a teacher, a politician or by being rich or famous, are ways of escaping the pain of aloneness. But then the relationships are not really love. Only when you are capable of being alone, you can really love.
When we can be alone, we discover the inner source of love, which is our true nature. When we can be alone, it open the door to be one with the Whole.”
