Laws of Karma dictate one person to give and other person to receive. The receiver is in no way inferior to the giver.

There are a hundred layers of dust and you are saying, 'This layer is mind, this layer is soul. I want to remove this and save this.' No. All of it is mind. All of it has to go. You have to go. What will remain is the divine you.

You were like raw gold. Somebody threw you into fire. You are molten gold now. You are in the middle of transformation. Come to me. I will cast you into a beautiful shape. That is the only way to forget the one who threw you into fire.

Earth is 4.5 billion years old. In all these years, what all must have been in the very room where you are now: all birds, animals, trees, mountain, sand, fires, storms, ocean. And before Earth, cosmic dust and vacuum. Basically your room is eternity. You are in the lap of eternity.

Where did the past go? Where is the future right now? Where did the present come from?

A door can either free you or imprison you. Every single thing is like a door. For some people even sex became door of liberation and for some even holy books became door of imprisonment.

Suppose you identify yourself as a scientist. One day you realize that you have to cross the domain of science to find truth. Will you let go of your identity as a scientist? No. We tend to cling to our identity. We twist the truth to preserve our identity. It's true for everyone. Someone who identifies himself as a Shiva devotee would rather preserve his identity than merge with Shiva.

To pray for the situation to change, you must first accept the situation. Otherwise it will be your wishful thinking, not a prayer. Acceptance is the very foundation of prayer.
