Whoever can only see the lack, in the situation or in the neighbour, whoever only experiences the pain of separation, becomes ill in body or mind. In his perpetual suffering he loses all his energy. He who recognises the Divine Being in himself and can also perceive this in the world, in everything, in his…

After all, it is an absurd claim of man to have to manage the world according to his own ideas. Just growing immeasurably in this technological age. What is the justification for this idea? Man is not capable of it. His ideas are far too simple and one-sided. Step back again. Give space. Let the…

The animals cannot model for us how we humans can live our spiritual destiny, because they do not have this access. But we humans can learn from them what an integrated and inclusive earthly material life looks like. At least that. We can learn what life can look like if we don’t lose ourselves in…

My feeling is that these animals are supposed to fly. We are in southern Spain. Surrounded by palm trees and orchards. It wouldn’t be a problem. They would neither freeze nor starve. I have a strong impulse to just slide back the latch on the gate and let the animals go free. Why put flying…

Little by little, over time, countless of these seeds disappear into the small cave. The…

I once said that one must prevent uncontrolled ego expansion in the child. Sadhguru says one must not even awaken the survival instinct in the child. That is much better! This is the following logical conclusion.

When the suffering in people becomes too great, the search for the perpetrators turns outwards. They search and search – and find. Even if it is only a person on the same side of the pavement. Or the weather (whether sunny or rainy). Or someone who likes violets more than roses. No matter. The anger…
