Quote
I am a soul. Soul doesn't die. Body dies." This is your belief, not your experience. The experience of being eternal is hard to earn. People try to strengthen their beliefs by defending them... They become touchy about the source of their beliefs (their holy books and gurus and gods). But no matter how much you strengthen your belief, it won't come even close to experience.

Quote
Do this when you go for a walk: Notice colour of a random object and then try to spot the same colour elsewhere around you. Then repeat with some other colour. You will notice so many things that your mind often ignores and so many patterns that your mind would dismiss as coincidences.

Quote
Suppose you were floating without a body in dark space for many centuries. And now you have a body, a ground to walk on, so many colourful things, air, sounds, mountains, lakes, rivers, sky and so on. You should be crying with gratitude to have all this.

Quote
Instead of looking at the things, look into the blank space around and within them... Acknowledge the blank surface on which words are written... acknowledge the nothingness that contains everything. Soon you will start experiencing the silence amidst all the noise.

Quote
A monk is in a boat in the middle of the ocean. The full moon is shining majestically in the sky. He has a telepathic conversation with an astronaut walking on the moon and says, “No, Mr. Astronaut. You are not on the moon. I am on the moon. You are just walking on some rocks.”The experience of the supreme truth is like watching a full moon. When we try to descend that experience to the physical level, when we try to analyze it with the mind, it is just rocks.

If materialistic world is noise, spirituality or religion is music. Most people just keep shuttling between noise and music. To discover the eternal silence, you have to realize that the music is just refined noise.

Quote
When your mind fills with dark clouds of bad temper and the lightening of anger is about to strike, look for the shelter. Don’t run outside towards the target of your anger. The only shelter is inside you where your deity is smiling, where your higher self is shining.
