    Life is not a problem to be solved, it is a mystery to be...

    "You ask, “I don’t seem to have any real questions.” That is a great insight! There are no real questions in existence. All questions are false, unreal, nonessential, because life is not a problem to be solved; it is a mystery to be lived. Only the fools go on questioning and go on thinking that some answers will help them. No answer is going to help you; every answer will create more questions.

    You can see the whole history of philosophy: every answer has brought thousands of unnecessary...  more
  • All insights are worthless being created out of thoughts

    The instrument which we are using to understand the reality of our existence and the reality of the world around us is not part of this [body] mechanism that is there. That is the reason why I say thoughts are not self-generated and are not spontaneous. There are no thoughts there even now. If you want to find out whether there is any such thing as thought, the very question that we are posing to ourselves, namely, “Is there a thought?” is born out of the assumption that there is a thought...  more

  • There is no Soul!

    There is no self, there is no I, there is no spirit, there is no soul, and there is no mind. That knocks off the whole list, and you have no way of finding out what you are left with. You may very well ask me the question, “Why do you go on telling people about the way you are functioning”? It is only to emphasize that we have been for centuries using some instrument, that is, thinking or mind, or whatever you want to call it, to free ourselves from the whole of what you call the ‘I’,...  more

  • Pure consciousness

    Consciousness has to flush itself out: it has to purge itself of every trace of holiness and of every trace of unholiness, of everything. Even what you consider 'sacred' and 'holy' is a contamination in that consciousness. Yet it does not happen through any volition of yours. When once the frontiers are broken—although not through any effort or volition of yours—then the floodgates are open and everything goes out. In that process of flushing out, you have all these visions. Suddenly you...  more
  • Ending of illusion

    You are not separate from that illusion. You are the illusion. If one illusion goes, it is always replaced with another illusion. Why? Because, the ending of the illusion is the ending of you. That is the death. The ending of belief is the ending of the ‘you’ that is there. So, that is not the poetic, romantic death of  “dying to your yesterdays”. Physical death is the only way through which you flush out what your whole culture has put in there.

    The illusion is that “the seeing is...  more

    Chanting as spiritual practice and movie of me

    Grace surrounds us all the time, but we only feel it at rare moments. It is the true state of the Universe. As Suzuki Roshi said, “Come walk with me in the rain. But don’t hurry. It’s raining everywhere.” What keeps us away from the gentle rain of grace? It’s our endless obsession, all day long, with I, me, mine. We wake up in the morning and start writing “the movie of Me”: What am I going to do? Where am I going to go? How am I going to get there? Is this enough? Is it too much?...  more
  • Thought as problem solving instrument

    The moment you recognize a particular sensation as a pleasurable sensation, naturally there is a demand to make that pleasurable sensation last longer. So, every sensation, depending upon the intensity of that sensation, which is plagued by you to invest it with more intensity or less intensity (depending upon what you are after), has a limited life of its own. The demand comes only when you separate yourself yourself from that pleasurable sensation and begin to think of how you can extend the...  more
  • Ultimate Reality

    We all are interested in experiencing unknown, ultimate reality. How can unknown ever become known? Not a chance. We can not experience unknown. Ultimate reality is not negation like 'Neti Neti’, negative approach of Vedas. When they failed in positive approach then they invented 'Neti Neti’ the negative approach. But 'Neti Neti’ is still a positive approach because they are interested in reaching their goal and all goals are positive goals.

    There is no such thing as Beyond or Unknown...  more
  • Illusion of Ultimate Reality

    The world around us is the only reality. Ultimate reality which is invented by intelligent men has no relationship with this reality. As long as you search or seek that non existent absolute reality you can't come in terms with this existing reality. Anything we do to escape from this reality in search of invented peace makes us difficult to remain in harmonious with peace already there with the living organism. Harmonious functioning of Body with this world is real peace. It is very important...  more
  • Illusion of separation created by thought

    "Thought is a protective mechanism. It isolates you from the totality of nature, which cannot be separated from you. So the difficulty here is that it is impossible for you to accept that you are not separate from the totality of things, you see, what you call nature -- that every form of life is also part of this nature. When I use the word nature, I use it in the general sense; it's not that I have a general insight into nature that others don't have. You are not separate from nature; nature...  more
  • Problem of reincarnation

    If one is interested in finding out for himself and by himself, to resolve this problem of reincarnation, and get an answer for this oft-repeated question, “Is there such a thing as reincarnation?” you have to ask this fundamental question, “What is there now that you think will reincarnate?” Is there anything there? Is there any such thing as soul? Is there any such thing as the ‘I’? Is there any such thing as the psyche? Whatever you see there, whatever you experience there is...  more

    Why Has Sex Become So Important?

    How is it possible to meet the sexual demand intelligently and not turn it into a problem? Now, what do we mean by sex? The purely physical act, or the thought that excites, stimulates, furthers that act?… Why is it that sex has become such a problem in our lives?…

    Sex is a problem because it would seem that in the act there is complete absence of the self. In that moment you are happy because there is the cessation of self-consciousness, of the ‘me’, and desiring more of it—more of...  more
