Ondulating in ecstasy in turbulent waves and foam.
Urvasi, rising from the deep calm yet in form vibrating,

Let us talk of hate. What is hate? There is no hate. There is no hate. Because hate is a projection from a conditioned mind, and all projections are illusory. No man is capable of hating. No man is capable of hating, but he is only capable of projecting. Man is capable of loving, yes, and love knows no projection.
Questioner: Guruji, this question arises from the difficulty I have with the concept of the Personal God, God with form and I ask myself what is that form? And then I understand from the things that you have said in the past that the Personal God, Ishvara, continues to exist during the present cycle of […]
Even for the bread you eat, you need an external force: a knife to cut the slices. Everything requires an external force. Yet the realization that the external force and the internal force are the same, has to come. When that consciousness dawns, all friction will disappear, because the cause of all problems is duality. […]
