There is nothing in this world, including this body. When people are frustrated, they say, 'Oh, there is nothing in the world. There is dejection. There is nothing - nowhere to go. Everything is false. There is nothing I can hold onto; nothing I can love. All is empty. The whole world is empty, there is nothing anywhere.' A dejected, frustrated mind also feels that way. In an utter state of despair, it says, 'There is nothing, so where do I go? The mind is tired of going anywhere.' Janaka was talking about the same state, but with...

This is all present in me, and still it is not present in me.' If a scholar, reads this, he'll find it thoroughly confusing! One without any experience will throw this book out and say it doesn't make nay sense. He'll say the author must have been a crazy person. He'll say, this book is so self-contradictory he can't make any sense out of it. It makes no sense; that is why it is Truth. The mind has a peculiar nature. It desires something, and when it acquires or achieves it, it no longer finds it interesting. It drops it, and moves away from it, because he can't stand being totally in t...

All the illusions fall off. All imaginations in the mind drop off, and you recognize that you are peace; you are pure. चिद्रसोऽमलम् । You are the ever pure consciousness. न मे बन्धोऽस्ति मोक्षो वा । There was no liberation, because there was no bondage in the first place. Only if I was bound, would I have to thrive for liberation. Nothin...

When you read it the other way, it means मन । मनः is mind. नमः is the reversal of mind. When the mind dies, love dawns. Whenever there is love, the mind dies and this is painful. That is why love always brings pain with it. Something in you is dissolving - the ego, the mind - and this dissolving is painful. And so lovers often rebel. The mind does not want to dissolve. It wants to emphasize its existence. It wants to show that it is something, too! And it doesn't want to bear the pain of dissolution, the pain is unbearable. नमः is...

Janaka said, 'There is none cleverer than me'. Remember this. For Janaka to utter this was a revolution, as he was the most humble. The king, filled with humility, the personification of humility, suddenly said that there was no-one more skilled than he was, ever! When you bow down to your Self, you have bowed down to everything in the universe. All your stiffness and resistance - the diving factors in you - have disappeared. From solid ice, you have become vapour. You have vapourised. Vapours have no obstruction, they move. What is your problem? Why are you s...
