single-mom facts moments
How can one become enlightened in one single moment? One can, because one is enlightened -- one just has to recognize the fact. It is not something that happens from the outside, it is something that arises from the inside. It has always been there but you were clouded, you were full of thoughts.
enlightenment nowhere-to-go findings
Enlightenment is finding that there is nothing to find. Enlightenment is to come to know that there is nowhere to go.
know-yourself afraid-of-death knows
Unless you know yourself as eternal beings, part of the whole, you will remain afraid of death.
lovers surrender never-surrender
Lovers never surrender to each other, lovers simply surrender to love.
infinite-intelligence meditation alive
Remember, meditation will bring you more and more intelligence, infinite intelligence, a radiant intelligence. Meditation will make you more alive and sensitive; your life will become richer
single-mom taken mean
Meditation means cleansing the mirror, dropping thoughts, letting thoughts disappear, attaining to moments when thinking ceases. And those are the most blissful moments in life. Once you have tasted a single moment of no-thought, you have taken a great leap into truth; then things will become more and more easy every day.
buddhist real essence
You can call it tathata, suchness. 'Suchness' is a Buddhist way of expressing that there is something in you which always remains in its intrinsic nature, never changing. It always remains in its selfsame essence, eternally so. That is your real nature. That which changes is not you, that is mind. That which does not change in you is buddha-mind. You can call it no-mind, you can call it samadhi, satori. It depends upon you; you can give it whatsoever name you want. You can call it christ-consciousness.
society individual valuable
To me, each individual is far more valuable than society as a whole.
enlightenment busy rich
Only the rich can achieve enlightenment because the poor are too busy looking for fridge freezers.
love-life ordinary littles
I am here to seduce you into a love of life; to help you to become a little more poetic; to help you die to the mundane and to the ordinary so that the extraordinary explodes in your life. .
faces absence fearlessness
Fearlessness is not the absence of fear, fearlessness is the total presence of fear with the courage to face it.
bridges broken world
The moment you go in, all connections with the outside world are broken; all bridges are broken. In fact, the whole world disappears.
respectable persons
A respectable person is invariably unrespectable within.
capacity-to-love people looks
The capacity to be alone is the capacity to love. It may look paradoxical to you, but it is not. It is an existential truth: only those people who are capable of being alone are capable of love, of sharing, of going into the deepest core of the other person without possessing the other, without becoming dependent on the other, without reducing the other to a thing, and without becoming addicted to the other.
