Change your focus from having to being
Posted by : OWF - Wednesday, January 30, 2019 |
 Q: What do you have that I havent got? (and I’m not talking about the ashram and car and secretary and all that stuff.)
You must be talking about all that stuff. Otherwise why do you mention it at all? The very mentioning of it shows the mind. You must have been afraid the idea must have crossed your mind.
And I dont have any ashram, and I dont have any car, and I dont have any secretary. In fact, I dont have anything. Having is not the thing... being. I am just here. Being is my wealth, not having.
If the ashram is here, it is for you not for me. If the secretary is there, it is for you not for me. All that exists here is for you. It does not, it has not, anything to do with me.
I am enough alone.

Everything is eternal
Posted by : OWF - Wednesday, January 16, 2019 |
 In this world neither is matter ever destroyed nor the Spirit, only ego is destroyed. The body is never destroyed. This body of mine was, even when I was not. Every particle of this body was present. There is nothing new in it. When I die, not a single atom of my body will die with me. The body is eternal for nothing within it dies. Scientists say that we cannot destroy a single atom - nothing can be destroyed. Everything within the body is eternal: the water will merge into water, the fire will be lost in the fire, the space will become one with space everything is eternal. Only the shape is lost but nothing within the shape is lost. My spirit also does not die - then what dies? |

You have forgotten that you are gods and goddesses
Posted by : OWF - Monday, January 7, 2019 |
 There are people who have become so certain about everything that they are never surprised. There are people whom you cannot surprise. And I am here to deliver to you a message which is very surprising - you will not believe it, I know. You cannot believe it, I know. I am here to tell you something which is absolutely unbelievable - that you are gods and goddesses. You have forgotten it.
Let me tell you an anecdote.
Harvey Firestone, Thomas A. Edison, John Burroughs and Henry Ford stopped at a rural service station on their way to Florida for the winter.

I pretend to be here
Posted by : OWF - Tuesday, January 1, 2019 |
 Q: You said nobody should dictate what you should do with your life. How does that fit with being available and surrendering to you?
In the first place I am a nobody.
Now listen to the question again: You said nobody should dictate what you should do with your life. Dont surrender to me because I dictate to you. But if you feel like surrendering, what can I do? If you feel like surrendering, it is your feeling. If I am dictating to you to surrender to me, dont listen to me. But if your heart is dictating, then what are you going to do? If I tell you to be available to me, dont listen at all. But if your own understanding says, Be available to this man, then be. |

Wash your face and have a cup of tea
Posted by : OWF - Tuesday, December 25, 2018 |
 Q: I notice that deep down I want to be loved, accepted, like the greatest man on earth, that I want to be the most famous person. And I feel hurt when someone rejects me. What to do with these dreams?
If you understand that they are dreams then wash your face and have a cup of tea. What is there to be done about it? Dreams are dreams - why be bothered?
But you dont understand that they are dreams. This is borrowed. You know that they are not dreams – that’s why you are worried. Otherwise why be worried? If in a dream you see that you have fallen ill, when you wake up in the morning do you go to the doctor?
In my dream I was very ill and now some medication is needed. You never go. You realize it was a dream - finished! What is the point of going to a doctor?

But somewhere, deep in your mind, you must be too attached to things. When you formulate a question, remember it shows much about you. A question is not only a question, it is very symbolic also.

Millions of lives…
Posted by : OWF - Wednesday, December 12, 2018 |
 India is very, very old the most ancient country in the world. It has existed for thousands of years. The West is very young, the East is very old. And when you talk to an old man, you have to talk differently when you talk to a young man, you have to talk differently - because their attitudes have changed completely. A young man always looks towards the future an old man always looks towards the past, because for an old man there is no future. The death... and then there is no future. An old man looks towards the past only the past exists for an old man. |

What are you searching for?
Posted by : OWF - Thursday, December 6, 2018 |
 Life is a search, a constant search, a desperate search, a hopeless search... a search for something one knows not what. There is a deep urge to seek but one knows not what one is seeking.
And there is a certain state of mind in which whatsoever you get is not going to give you any satisfaction. Frustration seems to be the destiny of humanity, because whatsoever you get becomes meaningless the very moment you have got it. You start searching again.
