Desires are like coil springs. When we try to handle them at the mind level, we either suppress them too much or stretch them too much. In both the cases, a lot of stress and negative energy accumulates that harms us.

The cause of misery is not lack of something but excess of thoughts.

A baby doesn't need training for breastfeeding. Training is required to go towards society, not to go towards the source. When you're asking 'how', you're asking to be trained. A Guru is not a trainer.

When you're depressed, you don't feel like taking a bath or cleaning the room. But you feel good after doing it. Same with meditation. You must do it when you don't feel like doing it.

If you directly learn some meditation technique, you won't be able to do it when you need it the most (when life is painful). Before learning techniques, build faith in God/Universe. But alas! These days people idolize Karna, not Arjuna.

Before you meditate with your eyes closed, chill with your eyes open. Watch things from a distance without reacting to them. Wonder what lies beyond death, beyond stars and galaxies.

Do this when you go for a walk: Notice colour of a random object and then try to spot the same colour elsewhere around you. Then repeat with some other colour. You will notice so many things that your mind often ignores and so many patterns that your mind would dismiss as coincidences.

People create conflicts, arguments and all sorts of noise to help each other avoid silence. Because nothing scares a mind more than silence. Silence is the language of soul. The soul talks to God when mind stops talking about God.

When you see the Sun setting over the horizon, you feel like you've entered into a beautiful art piece. A meditative mind gets that feeling 24×7. The world feels like an art village for those who walk through it slowly.
