That which you cannot express LOVE .

That which you cannot reject/renounce is BEAUTY.

That which you cannot avoid is the TRUTH.

If you make a mistake, accept it. That is intelligence. In the same way, others can also make mistakes. Don’t wait for them to ask for forgiveness. You forgive and move on. A mistake happened. Drop it. Don’t keep thinking of past mistakes and chewing on it like gum. It is like churning up a pile of garbage. You must save your mind at all costs.

Whatever you do, someone will criticize you. you will be blamed if you act and even if you dont act. If you speak, or dont speak. You cant keep pleasing everyone. If your focus is on finding shortcomings, either in yourself or in others, you cannot raise higher. Recognize that if someone gives a comment, reflect on it. If there is some truth, accept it. If not, then thank them and move on.

We think Shiva is somewhere else sitting with a snake around his neck. Shiva is one in whom everything has taken birth, who encompasses everything right this moment, and in whom everything in creation dissolves. Every form you see in this creation is all his form.

Longing and love are two sides of the same coin. You cant say, "I love you but I dont long for you". And it is impossible to long for someone without having love. That is why it is said:"Radheshyam". Radha is longing and Shyam is love. Radheshyam (longing and love) go together in life.

The first step to fun is relaxation. What tires you is anxiety and ambition for tomorrow. The anger and hatred of yesterday are also clogging our mind. In the same way feverishness pulls down our enthusiasm. In deep relaxation, you will find everything funny. Life becomes a game!!

It is difficult to see God as formless and it is difficult to see God as form. The formless is so abstract and God in a form appears to be too limited. So some people prefer to be atheists. But atheism is not a reality, it is just a matter of convenience.

The desire to have self realization - this is the highest desire, the only one worth pursuing. Whether you acknowledge this or not, everyone has come to this planet with this desire. If you have recognized this, its very good.

Thoughts are energy, have power. When you are confused, your words dont have an impact. The clearer you are in your mind, the more power your words get. If you are in confusion, the power of words is very feeble. Pranayam, meditation makes the mind clear. So the thoughts that come out of it, are straight and clear. One who is content, their words have power.

Trust in yourself. Have faith in your choice of actions and the path you would be following. If you dont trust yourself, how can you trust the master? It is enough to have faith in yourself. A master or a Guru does not remove the doubt, but He creates more doubt. The more you burn in the fire of doubt, the more strong you come out to be. Truth is never afraid of doubt, and truth can never hide.
