When you want any memory you can use the mind just as you can put on your tape recorder.

Love deeply, love without jealousy, love blissfully and help each other to be more meditative.
vegetarianism years people
I don't teach vegetarianism; it is a by-product of meditation. Wherever meditation has happened, people have become vegetarian, always, for thousands of years.
vegetarianism effort earth
Vegetarianism is a conscious effort, a deliberate effort, to get out of the heaviness that keeps you tethered to the earth so that you can fly - so that the flight from the alone to the alone becomes possible.

Live in this world, because this world gives a ripening, maturity, integrity. The challenges of this world give you a centering, an awareness. And that awareness becomes the ladder. Then you can move from Zorba to Buddha.

When you become a sannyasin, I initiate you into freedom, and into nothing else... I am destroying your ideologies, creeds, cults, dogmas, and I am not replacing them with anything else.

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.

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.
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.
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.
