Bucket may contain some ocean water, not the entire ocean. Your mind can contain theories and stories about gods, not the actual gods.

Your hungry mind has become the gatekeeper of your soul. Everything I bring for your soul gets consumed by your mind. How long will I keep doing the crime of feeding your mind?

An awakened soul has tasted the ultimate freedom. From his/her perspective, everyone is in misery. But things are not that bad. People have become used to bondage. It doesn't pain them. The process of awakening will be more painful for them than bondage. Let them sleep.

We have created a juvenile world. Here man-woman relationship is most sought after thing while finding God is so cheap that everybody is very sure about their philosophy or belief.

Children think that adults know life, uneducated think that educated people know it, poor think that rich know it, subjects think that the rulers know it. The truth is that everyone is equally clueless. Awakened ones know the sweet secret but can't tell it.

First find the one inside you which is already desireless. Then your body-mind will also become desireless. Doing the reverse is not possible. You can't first make your body-mind desireless and then find the one which is already desireless. The sages who preached the reverse ended up creating cults, sects, and religions.

I say, "Sky is blue." Someone who lives in a polluted place says, "Sky is grey". I will have to agree with him because sky can be grey too if it gets covered by smoke. But he won't agree with me because he has never seen a blue sky. The one who knows more has to agree with the one who knows less.

When you finally jump out of the pond and see trees for the first time, how would you describe them to your former companions in the pond who have only seen moss till now? Weird large frames covered with moss?
