a great divorce

It is a great divorce when you start believing that God is someone or something outside of you. medicine for all maladies is within you and it comes with no side effects – an answer to all of your questions is within you. a solution to all of your problems is within you. Just remember to open your eyes and gently gaze inside as a daily spiritual practice.

what has been lost

It is not finding what has been lost but discovering what is already here that can take away your deep rust and polish you.

hardest thing to do

I know dear one, you feel truly worn-out and dismayed and turned off – this running away from the house of love, this rejecting life’s invitation to laugh --- this hiding from the direct sunlight -- is the hardest thing to do.

spiders

Have you noticed how some people become terrified by the sight of spiders? Some other people are scared to death when they see a frog or snake around them. Are you one of them my dear friend? What if some day you realize that you’re being scared of the intelligence deep within you? What if we are the branches and stems and the leaves and the roots of the same tree?

the deep music

Knowing Who you are is a real deal, the deep music. the rest is a time spent on negotiation.

self-inquiry

Be patient with your path on self-inquiry - awakening is not a shortcut process – it is lifting one sweet leg at a time – breathing one deep breath at a time - and moving deeper and cleaning the clutter inside and burning one layer at a time until you can see your natural light beaming through everything.

Authentic Illumination

Authentic Illumination happens when you see the sun inside your own eyes – when you smell a rose inside your own heart – when you see the moon rising inside your ribs.

Stop pretending

Stop pretending that everything is going well. Admit that from deep inside there is something you are struggling with. Allow the divine to intervene. let the inner intelligence guide your way.

The ultimate remedy

The ultimate remedy to all discords and misunderstandings and conflicts- --- is knowing that we are one brilliant light together. that is the most spacious and unexplainable meaning of our intimacy.

some tenderness

Show yourself an some tenderness and know that you are nor the beginning nor the end, you are the black hole in the milky way, the ultimate reality, the eternal truth.

a regular whiner

are you a regular whiner? watch if the whining in you has become a pattern and happens more often. it takes a lot of energy the same way fire needs wood to burn. but when you are grateful for whatever happens, it restores energy and aliveness. it becomes natural and effortless because you merge with the source of life, the eternity. you are fully connected to the inner abundance and nourishment.

the image in our mind

a relationship with another human being suffers most of the times because when we meet with each other we're actually meeting with the image in our mind, the idea and expectations we've about that person in our mind and not the real and authentic person

dig the ground

The world can only tell you to get out there and dig the ground for gold. No body can tell You, you are gold because you have to look inside and discover it for yourself.

waiting for something better

Isn’t waiting for something better all your life an eternal punishment while this moment itself is a vast ocean throbbing and palpating with everything that is necessary for life?

your courage

When your courage to be yourself is real, you encourage and inspire a bud to break open and blossom.

happily ever after

“happily ever after” – can happen only in fairly tales or fiction books – happiness is accessed in this moment only, not a future plan and your own heart is the entry door.

Identity crisis

Identity crisis happens only when you cling to a false identity -

resisting what is

One of the reasons you continue to struggle is that you are resisting what is - because you want to be safe and you are trying to know too much. You are trying to reduce the unknown into a known entity, into description, into words and phrases.

your past memories

Dropping your luggage filled with your past memories means cleaning your house from mold and entering the state of great confidence.

dance of gratitude

Let the dance of gratitude give birth to your ever expanding heart. This walk towards your own smile is an infinite lovemaking, It is an endless orgasm. You’re vast my friend. You are timeless and no geographic location can hold you. the unknown can send anything your way - open your arms and embrace them. embrace them as if you have been waiting for them. Love can turn every mundane experience into a divine intoxication

your basic sanity

When you doubt your basic sanity and your infinite goodness, your natural light can dim and your dance with life can be awkward.

black hole in the milky way

Show yourself an Infinite tenderness and know that you are nor the beginning nor the end, you are the black hole in the milky way, you are the ultimate reality, the eternal truth.

on racism

with a current political atmosphere in the country and may be its ripple effect across the globe, a number of friends reached out to me to ask my insight on racism - racism in any form or flavor is a primitive part of human psyche that has been rejected, the part that is starving for love and light and continuously screaming for medicine. it is a delusional state of mind that cannot see a single point where we all are intimately and inseparably joined.

your ability to smile

Courage is not defeating another human being - It is being brave, patient and forgiving in the face of unkindness – it is your ability to smile when the mind tells you it is the end of the world - It is being a cool water in the desert and a glass of clear moonlight for the ones wrapped in the blanket of confusion –

On the path

On the path of your awakening, it is possible you can encounter resistance from every corner – because the process of awakening is a very scary thing for the world that is in love with its own misery.

to be truly happy

You said you want to be truly yourself? You said you want to start life from the beginning? you said you want to be truly happy? then become empty. become empty from your worries and fears. become empty from your judgment. becomes empty from any expectations and desires and even from your hope. Let everything that comes your way cleanse you. the universe itself came out of emptiness and you are not separable from the universe.

fearlessly tender

there is no skin covering a true lover She/he is wide open like summer sky, stripped bare, exposed, receptive, fearlessly tender and raw. that is why It is possible to allow, to be flooded with love at anytime and situation - that is why you’re left speechless in the face of beauty. that is why you still can dance and sing when you don’t know where to go and what to do.

true love

true love does not want anything at all and when you touch it deep within you with all of yourself, you too don’t want anything. you realize deeply that what you are is the signature of abundance itself.

Sweeter than honey

Happiness Is not just the outcome of a positive thinking happiness is not an outcome. It is state of being. You need to have a robust confidence in your true nature – you need to be courageous, to be firmly established in the blazing glow of your higher self – your readiness to open to your own fluid spontaneity – the deep mystery within, you have to know yourself without being shy – you will realize that you are sweeter than honey -

concept of race

There is something I’ve experienced with all of by being that shines brighter than the concept of race, nationality, gender, religion, politics, custom and culture – that is your original essence, your true self in the face of which mountains want to bow and the moons want to blush and the earth wants to dance the dance of ecstasy.

remove the wall

We practice spirituality not to achieve something special but to remove the wall that prevents us from experiencing ourselves as we truly are so that we can be fully available to ourselves, to our families, our neighbors and the world around us.

two choices to make

When hard time strikes we’ve two choices to make – to be broken into little fragments and disappear like dust or to be broken wide open and rise like ten thousand suns.

your intrinsic nature

your intrinsic nature, your fundamental goodness, your sanity cannot be produced through hard work. It is already there hidden behind your self-image, your false identity – behind all that you’ve been gathering for survival and it can only be experienced and realized and touched when you’re ready to drop all all of them without fear or worry and stand naked in the face of this great silence.

the only reality

love is the only reality that has a capacity to hold us together. Everything else is noise.

the arrow of a mystic

the arrow of a mystic does not point to one direction. it points everywhere, shining on everyone and everything. it is made from galaxies and moons and triple rainbows.

you can be confused

you can be angry - you can be in shock - you can be frustrated - you can feel helpless – you can be confused and depressed – -- but the wizard within remains unaffected.

sacred container

giving or receiving can be an innocent act when you don’t think about it. That way you can easily drop the concept of being a “giver” or a “receiver” until only “Being” remains. the way the moon offers herself to the dark night the way the ground opens to receive pure tenderness of the rain – when this happens, your body becomes a sacred container wrapping itself around a white fire of life.

symphony of life

The willingness to see everything exactly the way it is, without wanting it to be different requires a tremendous strength, the strength to merge with the symphony of life, to love with all of your being.

unanswered questions

by letting go of your expectations and accepting the reality of this moment, you can heal this divided and wounded country. deep healing requires your willingness to learn how to live with your unanswered questions.

self-image

by abandoning your self-image, you can allow a radical transformation to start happening within you. -

the way of love

The way of love can be a riddle as well as a great paradox. you need have the courage to lose yourself inside love in order to find yourself again – and you have to be totally empty to dissolve into the divine fullness that you are -

karmic debt

You are not here to worry about how to pay and repay your karmic debt. It is enough to know yourself.

greatest challenge

the greatest challenge of humanity is to accept yourself as your are without a mental censorship. when you do this, you’re brave and every little thing you do becomes a dance and sacred incantation.

I am ready

Make a commitment today and say these words loud after me – I am ready to be a true friend of my heart – I am ready to stop self-judging and others – I am ready to let go Of any attachment - I am ready to be free from suffering and pain – I am ready to experience joy directly – I am ready to be drunk with the wine of life every day and night -

circle

When you draw a circle around you, be sure to make it larger so that it can include everything and everyone as part of your expanding life. Remember that love does not leave anything out.

let go of letting go

it is not leaning on something or someone that makes us powerful, it is dropping. Total dropping. Letting go of anything that you think you cannot live without – and then let go of letting go itself – that is unlimited freedom.

It is not a mistake

It is not a mistake to forget who you are – there is no one to judge or blame here – you’ done your best to be good. maybe you’ve been raised by someone Who forgot who they are – Remember when you were a child – remember that aliveness, that wildness, that freshness, that innocence shining from your eyes - that fire burning in your heart – I assure you none of these are lost nor destroyed. they are only hidden and may be covered by stories. It is never late to wake up to your true nature and see your infinite vastness, your limitless possibilities. so that you too can wholeheartedly participate in the planetary awakening process.
