The best way to be with your spirit is to forgive.

If love is killed, joy is lost. You cannot have joy without love.

If you want to know the reality, you have to become the spirit.

There’s only one pure desire and that is to be one with the Divine.

The enjoyment of life is only possible if we could get connected to the spirit.

Spirit is the source of peace. It is the source of joy. It is not a duality of happiness and unhappiness, but singular joy.

Teachings

The truth is, first one, that you are not this body, this mind, these conditionings or ego but you are pure spirit. And the second truth is that there is a all-pervading power of divine love which works out all the living work. Before knowing the truth, if you depend on your intelligence, you can be misled completely. Intelligence that is without the spiritual insight is your own ego. After Realization, the truth that comes to you is the real, pure truth and is not your ego.

I bow to all the seekers of truth. At the very outset we have to know that truth is what it is. We cannot think about it, we cannot conceptualize it. Unfortunately at this human level we cannot feel it, we cannot know it. We have to be the spirit to know the truth.

Now the best thing is to put attention to your spirit. If you start putting your attention to spirit, the sweetness of the spirit itself will make the whole thing very sweet and beautiful.

So to overcome the problems of personality the best thing is to witness, practice witnessing everything: before talking, practice witnessing, before giving any comments, just start witnessing. It’s a very, very satisfying attitude.

Once you start growing in your self-realization, you develop such a personality that you see the whole world as one. When we are not realized, we are moving on the periphery, like a wheel and we are disturbed. But a realized soul is on the axis, which is silent. So he has the peace within himself.
