“The ego does not, cannot live in the present, because the present is real and the ego is false – they never meet.”

Life is a mystery, but man wants to reduce it to a problem!

There are very few joys in life greater than spontaneity. Spontaneity means to be in the moment; it means acting out of your awareness, not acting according to your old conditionings.

Meaning is man-created. And because you constantly look for meaning, you start to feel meaninglessness.

You exist in time, but you belong to eternity.

To be an individual is the hardest thing in the world, because nobody likes you to be an individual. Everybody wants to kill your individuality and to make a sheep out of you. Nobody wants you to be on your own.

Anybody who gives you a belief system is your enemy, because the belief system becomes the barrier for your eyes, you cannot see the truth.

Aloneness is the presence of oneself. Aloneness is very positive… You are so full of presence that you can fill the whole universe with your presence and there is no need for anybody.

Attachment brings misery, unattachment brings blissfulness. So use things, but don’t be used by them. Live life but don’t be lived by it. Possess things, but don’t be possessed by them. Have things – that’s not a problem. I am not for renunciation. Enjoy everything that life gives, but always remain free.

Except for our bodies there are no other temples in the world.

People say love is blind because they do not know what love is. I say unto you, only love has eyes; other than love, everything is blind.

The moment you accept yourself, you become beautiful.

Come out of the masses. Stand alone like a lion and live your life according to your own light.

Freedom means the capability to say yes when yes is needed, to say no when no is needed, and sometimes to keep quiet when nothing is needed – to be silent, not to say anything. When all these dimensions are available, there is freedom.

Respect your uniqueness, and drop comparison. Relax into your being.

Live without expectations and there will be no frustration.

Once your awareness becomes a flame, it burns up the whole slavery that the mind has created.

I was stubborn and refused to chase, I threw my ego away and chased; it does not matter. Some people are just not meant to be.

The ultimate freedom from the nonexistent ego is to see that it is actually irrelevant.

This simply strengthens the ego. In fact, such conclusions arise from the ego itself. Pay no attention to them. Don’t go to war with yourself; simply inquire into who you are.

When a group of people come together as a response to that kind of inward call, it creates a very powerful environment, where truth is held in the highest esteem and the reality of our being responds to that deepest intention.

Life sustains itself. Let go of the ego and life takes care of itself through you.

Ego is neither positive nor negative. Those are simply concepts that create more boundaries. Ego is just ego, and the disaster of it all is that you, as a spiritual seeker, have been conditioned to think of the ego as bad, as an enemy, as something to be destroyed.

Ego is the movement of the mind toward objects of perception in the form of grasping, and away from objects in the form of aversion. This fundamentally is all the ego is.

In liberation, you stand alone. You stand alone because you need no supports of any kind. You need no supports because you have realized that the very notion of a separate you no longer exists.
