If you want to find a true friend, find someone who is never tired of listening

 to you and who is always willing to forgive you. 

Most likely, you will never find that person, except in yourself.



______________________________________

 you are  what you think you are.

your life is your interpretation of it not  the actual experience. 

the truth is your view of it.

your reality is  a projection of your thoughts, beliefs, desires and expectations.

Noise does not disturb silence. Noise moves through silence and eventually dissolves in it. The noise that we create upon earth is but a little whimper in the eternal silence of the universe.



____________________________

Failure in good actions is better than success in evil actions. The former lifts you up. The latter pulls you down. 



_____________________________________________________

To awaken the mind of God, you must rest your own.

_____________________________

Once upon a time the demons used to live in far away lands. Later they began living inside us. Nowadays they live right under our roofs, right in front of us as television sets/laptops/smart-phones and talk to the demons inside us.

____________________________

If God sleeps the world will be asleep. To keep Himself awake all this is.



_____________________________________________________

Do you want to change some behavior in you? Here is the simplest solution which is also the most difficult to practice. Just stop doing it!

____________________________

 When in doubt, listen to your mind but trust your heart.

________________________________________________

   With each lie you leave a wrinkle on your soul. With each lie you remove a brick on the bridge to freedom. With each lie, you bring evil closer to your heart.

_____________________________________________________

If it happens once, it is circumstances. If you do it always, it is habit. If it you do it mostly, it is weakness. If you do nothing about it, it is self-denial. If you lie about it, it is deception.

____________________________

Your problems are gifts from heaven.

__________________________________________

When you are flying, you cannot be slack. If you want to enjoy the view up from there, you need to keep your wings flapping.

____________________________

With each lie you distance yourself from yourself. with each lie, you step away from reality.With each lie you hurt those whom you love.

____________________________

Use your problems to know what is wrong with you, your actions or your life. Let them tell you why you have invited them into your life and what you intend to learn from them.

______________________________

Until we know the truth, let us keep sacred things sacred.

________________________________________________

Fools disagree because of ignorance. Intelligent people disagree because of their excess knowledge. The wise one neither agrees nor disagrees. Hence he is called, muni, the silent one.

_______________________________

We are born to die. We start dying from the day we are born. We spend a whole lifetime trying not to remember this universal truth. We ignore it when we are young. We try to deal with it as we become older and perhaps start worrying about it as our bodies begin to fail us.

___________________________________________________________

For the human mind, perception is reality. Perceptions keep changing. Watch the same painting for a few minutes. Every time you look at it, you see something new. Then is it right to live by surface thoughts, borrowed opinions, unverified experiences and assumed truths?

-----------------------------------------------------

 Your religion does not have to have a name. God does not have to be the center of it. What you believe in is important. If your beliefs can set you free from all that holds you back here in chains, consider that you are blessed and you have come a long way in the journey of your liberation.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When it is dark do not light a candle. Close your eyes and sleep.

Darkness is eternal. Light is just a temporary phenomenon. 

______________________________________________

Do not speak to the silence. Listen to it.


No one envies your success in this world, unless one happens to be your friend or relation.

___________________________________________________

When you choose not to walk on a straight path, do not complain that you are seeing only twists and turns.

_________________________________________________

With a thousand lies you cannot create even one truth.

When you want to climb a mountain be prepared to slip and fall.

If you live in the past, you will be history sooner than you think.

Make the sky empty and fill it again.

It is better to keep some dreams as dreams.

Reality is a tough companion.

Learning is a discipline. You cannot learn without concentration, commitment and humility.

_________________________________________________

If you hear people saying, "Here is a great leader, praise him," don't believe them. They have been doing that since the earliest times. The best of the human beings rarely received their due credit. They died mostly unknown, just as they are now.

_______________________________________________

There is no such thing as honesty unless you believe in it.

Do not take history too seriously. It is mostly a story of convenience and wilful insominia.

We are born to die. We start dying from the day we are born. We spend a whole lifetime trying not to remember this universal truth. We ignore it when we are young. We try to deal with it as we become older and perhaps start worrying about it as our bodies begin to fail us.

What we desire and do not get, all this we find by going in within ourselves. For here indeed are the true desires within the covering of the false. Just as those who do not know the field, walk again and again over the treasure of gold and do not find it. In the same way most of us go into the world of Brahma and do not find it; for we are carried away by our false desires and fail to recognize the true ones even though they are hidden within. Chandogya Upanishad (chapter 3: verse 2)

We can be taken in by the illusionary natures of the desires and think that the satiation of the worldly desires is all what the soul wants. But it is important to understand that the fulfillment of the worldly desires is part of the process of unveiling of the true soul. The soul is treading the wheel of desire as the fulfillment of one set of material desires can create an ever-increasing appetite for more and more. These desires never become fulfilled. The true desire of the soul is to get off this wheel and find self-realization, peace and eternal happiness. The struggle between the real and the false has to be understood. The false desires are those we search for in the outside world. The true desires are satisfied from within. The basic struggle of the soul is to differentiate between the two and its inability to differentiate is the reason why it takes birth again and again.

He was relaxed with nothing to do. Then there was no worry. There was no tomorrow even, because tomorrow exists only because one has to do something. If one has not to do anything, then there is no tomorrow. Then the moment is enough.

____________________________________________________________________________________________

I cannot say I achieved. I can only say I tried so much that I was annihilated. I tried so much that any effort became absurd. And the moment came when I was not trying, when the mind was not, when I was not thinking. Then there was no future because there was no past. Both were always together. Past is behind, future is in front; they are always conjoined. If one drops, the other drops simultaneously. Then there was no future, no past, no mind. I was mindless, I was I-less. Then something happened, and I cannot say that this something happened in that moment. I can only say that this was always happening, only I was not aware. It was always happening, only I was closed. So I cannot say I have achieved something.”


Buddha said, “I can only say I have lost something — the ego, the mind — I have not achieved anything at all. Now I know that all that I have was always there. It was in every layer, it was in every stone, in every flower, but now I recognize it was always so. Only I was blind. So I have lost my blindness; I have not achieved anything, I have lost something.”




before dying physically experience death(detachment) of:

desire/anger/greed/attachment/fear/ignorance

osho;

In meditation, too, one has to enter slowly within. And gradually, one after another, things begin to drop away. A distance is created with each and every thing, and a moment arrives when it feels as if everything is lying far away at a distance. It will feel as if someone else's corpse is lying on the shore -- and yet you exist. 


any abnormal delay causes unhappiness-directly proportionate

fear of rejection -aloneness-unhappiness

“So he thoroughly taught her that one cannot take pleasure without giving pleasure, and that every gesture, every caress, every touch, every glance, every last bit of the body has its secret, which brings happiness to the person who knows how to wake it. he taught her that after a celebration of love the lovers should not part without admiring each other, without being conquered or having conquered, so that neither is bleak or glutted or has the bad feeling of being used or misused.”
