"In Sadhana you look at life as a whole and do not isolate events. You become an observer of life. in Sadhana you do not have to give up anything or attain anything."
"One has to learn to live with oneself instead of running after ideals, away from one's centre...why should there be any aims and ideals in life?...One has to discipline the mind not to compare itself with others. The holiness contained in you has no chance to express itself if you are busy with the struggle of running away from yourself"
“You know I have friends who used to laugh at me when I said we have to create a relationship. They thought relationship is a miracle, it just happens, it comes, we find it, and there it is. But it’s not true. I never found that to be true. One friend was amazed at things that happened in a relationship over the years. And I said: “Yes, we created that. This friendship was created with talking, with struggle, with crises.” So wait until you feel right within yourself, and then you’ll feel right towards others.”
We don't leave "things" behind. "Things" deteriorate. We only have our experiences. Momentary Experiences. Moment to moment. So make them pleasurable. Do whatever makes you happy. In this moment.
