You may become obstinate about doing these things. Suppose you are meditating and somebody drops a plate or dog starts barking. This is sufficient to keep you agitated for next two days! The dog has come and gone but you have caught hold of that event, and started getting worked up and agitated. You are used to listening to some chanting, reading the Bible or Koran (to some holy scriptures). And one day you are...

He said that he had done so many things in the past. But, at the moment, he was at rest; that he had no interest in doing anything. He was not the doer. He was not interested in lengthy conversations; that they had tired him. And that he was enjoying a deep rest. He realized that. Have you observed when you sit and talk for a long time? You feel nauseous and tired. People are interested in explaining past events. They say, "I have never met anyone like you in all my life...

For example, something arises in you when you see a person. Then, you forget what is happening around you and get involved with that person. Instead of this, observe what that person kindled in you - be with it, dance with it and move through it. This is Radhe - being with it and moving through it. You are just enthusiasm, the source of enthusiasm - स्फुर्तिमात्रो - as though you have had a relationship. That's why Ashtavakra had said to have that relationship inside, i.e. Radha - Krishna - inner relation, inner union. That's why it is said that the Guru is inside you. Have an inner union with the Guru. Krishna is...

Vasanas are impressions, or cravings. A vasana is a limited pull in a limited direction. Suppose, you are used to drinking coffee every morning. So, as soon as you wake up in the morning, you must have coffee otherwise you might get a headache. This is a vasana. Limited or small attractions as from smell, touch, tatse, or sight, are called vasana. The five senses draw you into a small and limited awareness. You do not just enjoy them, but your mind gets entangled, thinking about them all the time. It is normal to eat food at the prescribed times. But to think about food all time is a vasana. It is the same with...

Push one button in them and see what happens. Fumes come from their ears and noses. A fuse blows and people can become so furious. Observe and watch. If you are not involved in it, you can have great fun with it. When you're not amazed by it all, you will get trapped and get caught up in the phenomenon. It's a beautiful technique by which you can really live in this world without being tarnished by it. How can you live? When you are amazed by the events, amazed by the actions and reactions of people. But, instead of being amazed, you begin to question. Every question can be turned into a wonder when you keep wondering about the worl...
