Guilt is a socially cultivated emotion, a poison directed towards yourself, a way of enslaving you by vested interests.

This is what yogic practices are about – to bring your energies to a place where they are lit and balanced.

When it comes to external realities, each human being is differently capable. What one does, the other may not be able to do. But when it comes to inner realities, all of us are equally capable.

When you know the oneness of life, when you realize the unity of existence, there is love in your heart and the Divine in your experience.

Once you attain a certain state of equanimity and blissfulness within you, wherever you go, your wellbeing will be assured.

No one has a perfect body or a perfect mind. In that sense, all of us are disabled in some way. But beyond the physiological and psychological dimensions, all life is just the same.

Your life energies do not know any right and wrong. They know only life and life alone.

Knowledge is intellectual accumulation. Knowing, on the other hand, is neither intellectual nor accumulative. If you pass a flowering plant and you know the chemistry of its fragrance, that is one dimension of knowledge. If you know the experience and ecstasy of that fragrance, that is another dimension of knowledge. But if you become the fragrance, that is knowing. A knowing that is 100 per cent experiential. A 100 per cent alive. A 100 per cent here and now.

Most of the time, you are thinking about life, not living life, not allowing the life energies to function to their fullest exuberance.

The geometry, beauty, and magnificent nature of existence is such that if you align yourself, the whole cosmos responds to you.
