Quote
Continuous rains flooded a village. It seemed that everyone will drown. A priest lived in a hill temple nearby. He was getting pleasure in this destruction. He was gleefully wishing, 'May all the sinners die.' A cloud burst on the hill. He died. Villagers remained safe. Perhaps his wish came true.

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.

Like all paths, spiritual or religious path is also spiral. You may be going downwards or upwards. Many spiritual/religious people pick up more and more dark crap every day (ideas, theories, systems, crazy groups etc.) and sink under its weight. You are going upwards only if you're letting go of things and getting lighter each day. At one point, you have to let go of gods and scriptures too.

These days seekers are like, "Tell me the truth but don't contradict what I already believe in."They choose their Guru. If they believe that Earth is flat, they choose someone who says that Earth is flat.

Quote
If you were transported 500 years back in time and told them about mobile phones, they would call you mad and kill you. Even if you are an engineer, you wouldn’t be able to prove to them that mobile phones are real. They only understand clay and fire.Today when people say they can see things that you can’t see, you call them mentally ill. Don’t disregard experiences of others no matter how different they are from yours. Space-Time is infinite. Even things you can’t imagine exist inside it.

There is no point in reading anything until your mind is fully clean and receptive. Mind’s tendency is to interpret things the way it suits you, the way it strengthens your existing beliefs.

If somebody has a false belief, you can’t deliver them the truth unless they fully trust in you. More you try to hammer the truth at them, more they will defend and strengthen their false belief.

Every single human being has a theory about God, soul and life. The ignorant ones are satisfied with their theory, wise ones doubt it and the awakened ones have become free from it.

A belief is like a hired boat. It takes you through a particular type of life experiences. If it's taking you towards storms, "Who knows?" should be your Mantra to turn it in the direction of your peaceful center - nothingness.
