A Yogi in solitude romances with life. The rays of sunlight falling on his skin have travelled millions of kilometers to meet him. What a passion!The food he has prepared has not been seen by anybody except him. What an intimacy! The pebble he has just thrown in river will never be seen by anybody ever again. What a heartbreak!

Imagine people sitting around fire under a starry sky and wondering who we are and where we have come from. But instead we sit in drawing rooms and make statements: "I am so and so, my son is so and so, my god is so and so, my holy book is so and so." If you have already assumed an identity, how will you know who you really are?

Imagination is our hidden power to see the planes of existence that our eyes can't see. Use your imagination to disintegrate things into abstract forms and colours... and then watch them reintegrate. Sadly, people have stopped using their imagination and started using substances to have such heavenly experiences.

You have been taught things only from human perspective. To be holy, you must have holistic perspective. You must see things from other perspectives.For example: A Mango tree does business with human beings. It covers its seeds with sweet pulp and says, “My seeds can’t grow under my shade. So please take my seeds away from me. As your service fee, you can have the pulp.

A child used to see her poor father struggling to earn daily bread. She prayed, “O Goddess, please kill the demons living in my stomach that keep demanding food again & again.”This is the perspective that detaches your soul from your character. This is the prayer that directly reaches the gods. Can you stop identifying with your mind and instead see it as a box in which some demons are sitting and constantly craving for thoughts and emotions?

Imagine you're floating in dark space. Then you see a shop floating in darkness. You buy a chocolate there and eat. That's the kind of wonder you should feel while doing the usual day-to-day stuff. Because everything is actually floating in darkness.

Everything is divine and wonderful till you give it a name. Names make everything normal. Example: A woman is pregnant. A human is inside another human. You should wonder! But for you it's all normal because you have given it a name: pregnancy.

Who am I? Who is God? It's extremely easy to find answers of these questions. Difficult is to not settle for an answer, to keep these questions open. Because any answer you will find is not an answer, it's a belief.
