Suppose there is a very hungry and weak dog. And then there is a healthy dog. If you go to feed them, which one is more likely to bite you? The hungry and weak one. Those who bark and bite you are actually in dire need of help. Don't curse them further. They are already cursed.

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.

Solitude means dwelling in your uniqueness and originality which can't be shared with anyone else.

I meditated for 3 minutes.” ... “I meditated for 3 hours.” ...“I meditated for 3 days.”No. You meditated for no-Time. Meditation is all about detaching from Time. The time you are telling is just memory of the character you have landed upon “after” floating in no-Time.

Calm mind is not a requirement for meditation.It is the result of meditation. Don’t try to calm your mind. Let the mind be what it is so that you can be who you are: the soul, the witness.

Imagine a machine that vibrates when it is on. If you have to sit on it to operate it, you will vibrate too. You will get tired way before the machine. Your body and mind are machines too. Ask any runner. They don’t run along with their body. They find a stillness inside them. They ride on that stillness while the body runs. That’s how they can run the body to its maximum capacity. Same goes for mind. You must find the stillness inside you to use body-mind to their maximum capacity.

You are a soul. You are on a tour of this world. Mind is like that clingy and blabbering tour guide that wants to accompany you everywhere.Meditation is all about leaving that tour guide and enjoying at least some parts of this world in peace.

You can meditate even while chopping carrots: The metal of knife has come from Earth, carrots have come from Earth, body is nothing but refined Earth. It's all a dance of Earth and you are the eternal watcher, the soul.

Cooking and cleaning in your 'own' home feels like a burden . Doing the same in a spiritual organization gives you joy. That is the curse of ownership. As soon as you think that you own something, it becomes a burden.
