Life is experience and not theory. It needs no explanation. It is there in all its glory, just to be lived, enjoyed, delighted in. It is not a riddle, it is a mystery. A riddle is something which can be solved, a mystery is something which can never be solved. A mystery is something you can become one with; you can dissolve into it, you can melt into it – you yourself can become mysterious. This is the difference between philosophy and religion.

You have contact but you don’t have connection
A Monk of the RamaKrishna Mission was being interviewed by a journalist from NY.
The journalist started interviewing the Monk as planned earlier.

Nothing is possible unless you stop interfering
You think you are here because of the society; you think you are here because of morality, and all the nonsense that goes with it; you think you are here because of your Bible, Koran, Gita. No!

Why did you spill the coffee?

I salute the Buddha within you
I salute the Buddha within you. You may not be aware of it, you may not have ever dreamed about it — that you are a Buddha, that nobody can be anything else, that buddhahood is the very essential core of your being, that it is not something to happen in the future, that it has happened already. It is the very source you come from; it is the source and the goal too. It is from buddhahood that we move, and it is to buddhahood that we move. This one word, buddhahood, contains all — the full circle of life, from the alpha to the omega. Continue reading

Don’t Worry About What Happens – Eckhart Tolle
Book Recommendation – The Power of Now By Eckhart Tolle
An Amazon reviewer writes:
