Mother - Wednesday Guest

'THERE is a kind of inner communion with the psychic being which takes place when one willingly gives up
desire, and because of this, one feels, a much greater joy than if he had satisfied his desire. Besides most

where.'

'PHILOSOPHY is a disease, and not an ordinary one either. It's not a common cold. It is cancer- Cancer of
the soul. Once a person is lost in the jungle of philosophy he becomes more and more entangled in words,
concepts, abstractions and there is no end to it. One can go on and on for lives together.'
13/2/20
'TRUTH happens in a state of not knowing, truth happens in innocence. Truth happens where there are no
clouds of thoughts moving in your consciousness, when sky is absolutely clear, when there is no abstraction,
when you have no idea and God is or God is not. When you don't believe in no-God, when you are simply in
a state of not knowing. You don't claim any knowledge, that non-claiming consciousness begins to open up.
All knowledge burdens and closes you.'
20/2/20
'BUDDHA did not teach anything to believe in. He was not a teacher in that sense, because he did not teach.

he helped his disciples to become nude, naked.'
27/2/20
'TRUTH is simple. Very simple-so simple that a child can understand it. In fact, so simple that only a child
can understand it. Unless you become a child again you will not be able to understand it. It is an experience,
not speculation.'
Bonus Sutra
'YOU have to experience meditation. If you experience, only then do you know. So try this: don't think about it, try - try to be a witness to your own thoughts. Sit down, relaxed, close your eyes, let your thoughts run just like pictures run on a screen. See them, look at them, make them your objects. One thought arises: look at it deeply. don't think about it, just look at it. If you begin to think about it then you are not a witness - you have fallen in a trap.'
Sri Swami Vivekananda - Friday
7/2/20

life, the strength, the vitality, without which no amount of intellectual activity can reach God.'

which is free.'

them.'
28/2/20
'THERE is nothing beyond God, and the sense enjoyments are simply something through which we are
passing now in the hope of getting things.'
Bonus Sutra
'The duty of the ordinary man is to obey the commands of his
'God' - society; but the children of light never do so. This is an
eternal law. One accomodates himself to surroundings and social
opinion and gets all good things from society, the giver of all good
to such. The other stands alone and draws society up towards
him. The accommodating man finds a path of roses; the
non-accommodating, one of thorns. But the worshippers of "Vox
Populi" go to annihilation in a moment; the children of light live
for ever.'
