Awareness is the golden key for suffering. Anger will arise and will be consumed by awareness. One cannot be angry with awareness and one cannot be greedy with awareness and one cannot be jealous with awareness. Awareness is the golden key.

A Child is beautiful because he embodies intensity and any type of intensity is beautiful, even crying or anger. When an adult is angry or crying he is ugly because is not total.

Childbirth is an experience whereby the moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.

Compassion is one's nature and is not to be fought for... it is not against anger or passion. When passion or anger disappear, compassion simply is.

Ecstasy is a beautiful word, simply meaning to 'stand out', to stand out of your ego, your personality, your mind; Standing out of all this, just a pure witness, a watcher on the hills - and everything is left deep down in the valley.

Ecstasy is as if suddenly thousands of roses have blossomed within you and you are full of their fragrance.

Meditation is nothing but an effort to drop all the foreign elements so that you can see yourself as you were before you were born, mirrored in its purity. It is a great silence and a great joy to be there, and once you start abiding there, there is no death and no time. All fear, all greed, all anger, disappears: One is just there with no idea, no desire.

The Mother is born the moment a child is born.

Sadness is inactive anger just as anger is active sadness. They are not two things.

Sharing is able to be done only with that which you have. So if you are angry you will share anger, if you are greedy you will share greed, if you are full of lust you will share your lust.
