Everything is its own antidote. So life has death built into it. The only way to master death is not to run away from it, but to turn to it a little, recognize it daily.

The idea of death as something frightening is well known to all of us. But the idea of death as neutral, as something that doesn't matter, is not known.

Before going to sleep, spend a little time to introspect. Did I maintain mindfulness during the day today?

Purity may be white but beauty is colourful. Learn to throw a sprinkle of colour on the white surfaces of your piety.

If you aspire to be wise, first declare yourself a fool, or else your wisdom will evaporate and leave you a fool.

This day I wish you all the colours of the universe and the galactic guffaws of God's open spaces.

I wish you today identification with the silent watcher within, your true Self.

Only when you have walked in the light of your inner Self will you have made the true progress that is of supreme importance. Sit back, ponder a moment, and resolve to make such progress within.

I wish you today a great leap forward. God bless you with strength.

In the practcice of silence and in all your practices, since many of you have been practicing for so long, for so many decades, the adventure is in discovering new subtleties.

The subtle forces of the universe are not among subatomic particles. Subtlest forces of the universe are in the field called the mind.

Mental events are not spiritual events. Mind is the finest form of matter.

Spiritual experiences will begin somewhere after your mantra has ceased. Your mantra and all your practices are boats for going across. They are not the other shore.

The ocean is the perfect metaphor for the mind.

You, an immortal being, afraid of mortality? You, the spiritual being, afraid of losing the prison house of flesh?

You are a being of light – ever pure, ever wise, ever free. Walk through the darkness and shine forth.

I wish you this day the recognition of your inner light.

Go to sleep completely relaxed. Find release in shavasana, with awareness of your breathing. Centralise your thoughts; have a centred personality. When you wake up in the morning, you will wake up refreshed and energized.

Try to use your internal alarm clock and if you have gone to sleep with a relaxed mind, that clock will wake you up.

Begin your day with getting in touch with yourself. The foundation for the day should be firm.
