It is difficult to look at your own ego. The ego is something that everybody is aware of except yourself… When others say something about your ego, don't deny it, don't reject it. There is every possibility that they will be right. There is a ninety-nine per cent possibility that they are right -- because others can very easily see your ego even if you cannot. And you can see other egos very easily; it is there just exactly on the tip of their noses. In everything they do -- walking, talking, sitting, listening -- it is there. It is so apparent, so obvious to everybody -- except to the person himself. He hides behind it.

It is expectation that keeps your mind continuously spinning thoughts. It is expectation that keeps you tense. It is expectation, when not fulfilled, that makes you feel frustrated, miserable. Drop expectation and meditation will flower, but it can flower only when you are not expecting.

Meditation is a guest. You can invite it and wait for it. It comes. It has always been coming… It comes to everybody, anybody, who is ready to be open and seeking.

But do not learn it from somewhere. Otherwise, you will be tricked, and tricks are many and mind is always searching for easier things. The mind is always seeking for the least resistance. And this urge for least resistance becomes the source for exploitation. Then there are gurus and gurudoms, and the spiritual life is poisoned because the most dangerous person is the one who exploits someone's spiritual urge. If someone robs you of your wealth it is not so serious, because a thing robbed is not so serious. If someone even fails you, it is not so serious really. But if someone tricks you and kills or even postpones your urge toward meditation, toward the Divine, toward ecstasy, then the sin is great and unforgivable.

Do not get lost in happiness; anguish is fast following it. As soon as happiness comes, misery enters from the other door, and you are bound to meet misery sooner or later…
If you are able to see misery behind every happiness then a revolution will occur. You will try to be free of not only misery but also of happiness. If every pleasure is definitely followed by misery then one has to be free of pleasure as well as of misery.

The body cannot become the buddha, the mind cannot become the buddha. Apart from body and mind is there something else within you? That is what I am calling watchfulness, awareness, witnessing.

Do we need to learn yoga for meditation?

If you want to learn it for your physical health, it is superb. Its practice is very valuable; for physical health it is magnificent. But physical health has no direct relation to meditation, except that a healthy body can easily move into meditation; an unhealthy body will face a little hindrance.
The other yogic practices such as generating psychic powers and so on also have no relation to meditation. If you want to achieve the power of telepathy, hypnotism, or some other psychic powers then they can be useful, but even they have no connection to meditation.
I am talking about an authentic spirituality or meditation; even if you have practiced everything, at the end you have to enter non-doing.
So is all that useless?
So when I say that any method, any yoga, is futile for spiritual growth, I am not saying that yoga is useless. I am just saying it in connection with your inner growth. Always remember this condition, otherwise you will be in difficulty.
Of course, it has other functions. It has many other uses…

Live with me,

rejoice with me.
When I am gone,
continue to dance and rejoice
in remembrance of a man who gave you
freedom and individuality.

The most surprising thing in life is that nobody seems to be surprised! People take life for granted. Otherwise, everything is a mystery, everything is simply amazing! It is a miracle that a seed becomes a tree. that as the sun rises in the morning the birds start singing. It is a miracle! Each moment you come across miracles and still you don’t look surprised…
The person who loses his quality to be surprised is dead… The moment your wonder is dead, you are dead. The moment you become incapable of feeling awe, you have gone impotent.
To be born with the gift of laughter and a sense that the world is mad, is the quality that makes life worth living -- not only worth living but worth dancing, worth celebrating… When you are full of wonder, existence is full of God.

Desires and desires... we are just a collection of desires. We exist as demands -- thousands of different types of beggars exist within us -- and each and every desire demands a different kind of satisfaction. Nothing is ever achieved…
Whatever is seen around us becomes a desire in us to have this, to have that -- but no desire is fulfilled, they just go on accumulating. We remain an empty bowl -- a begging bowl, a beggar!

WHY DO I TAKE MYSELF AND EVERYTHING SO SERIOUSLY?

The ego can exist only if you take yourself and everything seriously. Nothing kills the ego like playfulness, like laughter. When you start taking life as fun, the ego has to die, it cannot exist anymore. Ego is illness; it needs an atmosphere of sadness to exist. Seriousness creates the sadness in you. Sadness is a necessary soil for the ego…
Everybody takes himself and others seriously. That's the way of the ego to exist. Start being a little more playful and you will see ego evaporating. Take life non-seriously, as a joke -- yes, as a cosmic joke. Laugh a little more.
Laughter is far more significant than prayer.

The word is not the thing.
the word God is not God,
but the mind goes on accumulating words and words
and words,
and then the words become the barrier.

See this as a fact with you:
can you see anything without the word
can you feel anything without the word.
can you live even for a single moment without the word?
Do not think but see.
and then you will be in meditation.

To exist wordlessly is to be in meditation.

There are some people who have not attained, yet they are unable to drop the enjoyment of guiding others. Giving guidance is a very enjoyable thing. In the whole world, the thing that is given the most is guidance, and the thing least accepted is also guidance. Everybody gives; nobody takes…
But in giving guidance, you have no difficulty. Because what difficulty can there be in giving what you do not have? You are losing nothing. On the contrary, you are gaining something -- you are gaining joy, you are gaining ego-enhancement; today you are in a position to guide, and the other is at the receiving end. You are on the top, the other is below.
