The mind which has obtained a burning desire for Self-attention, which is Self-inquiry, is said to be the fully mature one.
Real silence means there is actually nowhere else for the mind to go .
Enlightenment means the end of all division. It is not simply having an occasional experience of unity beyond all division, it is actually being undivided. This is what nonduality truly means. It means there is just one Self, without a difference or gap between the profound revelation of Oneness and the way it is perceived and lived every moment of life.
Time isn’t precious at all, because it is an illusion.
Without being concentrated by a magnifying glass, dry grass cannot be set alight by the rays of the sun, even though they bathe the whole earth evenly in their warmth. In the same way, it is only when focussed through the magnifying glass of your faith and devotion that the all-pervading warm rays of the buddhas’ compassion can make blessings blaze up in your being, like dry grass on fire.
The greatest romance is with the Infinite. You have no idea how beautiful life can be. When you suddenly find God everywhere, when He comes and talks to you and guides you, the romance of divine love has begun.

You know there is a beautiful situation in Mahabharat. A time came when everybody had to be on some side, either this side or that side of the battle. When the time to choose came, Krishna said, “Either you can have me, or you can have my army which is ten-thousand strong.” Duryodhana chose the army, the Pandavas chose Krishna. And beforehand, Krishna said, “I’m not going to fight. I’m just going to be there.” So the Pandavas said, “It doesn’t matter what happens. We want you to be with us, that’s all.” Duryodhana thought, “These guys have a history of being stupid, and this crowns it all. You are going into a battle, and instead of picking a ten-thousand strong army, you pick one man, who is not willing to fight. This is the peak of stupidity.” But that made all the difference. And that is how life is.
