If a shopkeeper gives you exactly what you ask for, you will just take it and come home. If he says, "I don't have exactly what you ask for. But I have a substitute." Then a conversation will start between you and him; an attachment will start forming between you and him; you will go to him again and again." Maya (Space-Time) is that shopkeeper. It never gives you exactly what you want.

If you do Yoga, meditation and other spiritual and religious practices to take some benefit out of them, you will not get the deep benefits. Do them to give yourself to them, not to take anything out of them.

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.

A cave is formed naturally, by interplay of five elements. Since human beings are nothing but waves of five elements, aren't man-made houses natural too?
