love taught caught
Love cannot be taught, it can only be caught.

No, I don't want to give my people sticks. I want to give them eyes.

Respect your uniqueness, and drop comparison. Relax into your being.
love thinking mind
Mind is the illusion that which is not but appears, and appears so much that you think that you are the mind.
love hate teaching
It is because nobody has been teaching you about hate; hence, hate has remained pure, unadulterated. When a man hatesyou, you can trust that he hates you.
love way paralysis
Just get out of your own way.
love what-matters rose
It does not matter if you are a rose or a lotus or a marigold. What matters is that you are flowering.
desire foolish worldly-desires
Those otherworldly desires were just as foolish as the worldly desires.
journey desire entering
The same is the case when you enter a womb, enter into a fresh body, and start the journey of desires. But if you die alert, in that alertness not only the body dies, all desires evaporate. Then there is no entering into a womb. Then entering a womb is such a painful process, it is so painful that consciously you cannot do it; only unconsciously you can do it.
space desire projects
The future is needed as a space to project your desires. To project, future is needed.
ambition goal ego
The ego can exist only with goals, ambitions, desires.
mind desire stories
The body is there because the mind seeks desires through the body; desires cannot be fulfilled without the body. You can be completely fulfilled without the body, but desires cannot be fulfilled without the body. Desire needs the body; the body is the vehicle of desire. That's why possession happens. You have heard, you must have heard, many stories about a ghost possessing somebody else. Why is a ghost so interested in possessing somebody else? It is because of desires. Desires cannot be fulfilled without a body, so he enters somebody's body to fulfill his desires.
stupid intelligent people
People, when they are frustrated with worldly desires, start changing the object: they start making otherworldly objects of desire - heaven, paradise, and all the joys of heaven. But it is the same trick, the mind is again befooling you. This is not the way of the intelligent person, this is the way of the stupid.
dream real desire
Ordinarily all desires exist in the second state of consciousness, the dreaming state. Desire is a dream and to work for a dream is doomed from the very beginning, because a dream can never become real. Even if sometimes you feel it has become almost real, it never becomes real - a dream by nature is empty. It has no substance in it.
