love-is quality higher
Love is not a higher quality than truth.
factors
When it comes to deciding between your love and your truth, truth has to be the decisive factor.
causes clinging unconscious
Don't cling to anything. Clinging is the cause of our being unconscious.
over-you immortality teach
The authentic religion teaches you to discover your immortality, to discover the god within you.
darkness burning torches
Your torch of consciousness should be burning continuously; then there will not be any darkness.
reverence-for-life alive reverence
I have a deep reverence for everything that is alive, a reverence for life itself.
taken light childhood
Drop the fear. Fear was taken up by you in your childhood, unconsciously. Now consciously drop it and be mature. Then the life can be a light which goes on deepening as you go on growing.
sleep thinking quality
Be ordinary, but bring a quality of awareness to your ordinary life. Bring God to your ordinary life introduce God into your ordinary life. Sleep, eat, love, pray, meditate, but don’t think that you are making or doing something special—and then you will be special.
love-is love-relationship outcomes
Love is not a relationship, love is a state of being; it has nothing to do with anybody else. One is not "in love", one is love. And of course when one is love, one is in love – but that is an outcome, a by-product, that is not the source. The source is that one is love.
crowds illusion
Crowds create illusions.
respectable persons
A respectable person is invariably unrespectable within.
mind tongue goes-on
The tongue never slips – remember this always. What goes on within the mind comes invariably on the tongue.
prayer laughter taken
I would like you to accept only one prayer, and that is laughter, because when you are totally laughing you are in the present. You cannot laugh in the future and you cannot laugh in the past. All those people who have created this retarded humanity have taken away all juice, all laughter, all smiles, and dragged everybody into being inauthentic. And if you are inauthentic, insincere, you can never grow the seed that has been given to you by this great compassionate universe.
prayer laughter mean
I want my people to understand that because only man is capable to laugh, that means laughter is the highest point of consciousness, the highest point of understanding, the highest point of evolution. That's why I have started calling laughter "the prayer time."
