quote of meher baba

1. The entire life of the personal ego is continually in the grip of wanting, i. e., an attempt to seek fulfilment of desires through things that change and vanish. But there can be no real fulfilment through the transient things.
2. The purpose of life is to realize God within ourselves. This can be done even whilst attending to our worldly duties. In the everyday walks of life and amidst activities, feel detached and dedicate your doings to our beloved God --meher baba

JUST BE WHAT YOU ARE WITH FULL AWARENESS

The Thief

Spiritual Story by Osho

There was one great master, a Buddhist master, Nagarjuna. A thief came to him. The thief had fallen in love with the master because he had never seen such a beautiful person, such infinite grace. The thief asked Nagarjuna, "Is there some possibility of my growth also? But one thing I must make clear to you: I am a thief. And another thing: I cannot leave it, so please don't make it a condition. I will do whatsoever you say, but I cannot stop being a thief. That I have tried many times--it never works, so I have left the whole sport. I have accepted my destiny, that I am going to be a thief and remain a thief, so don't talk about it. From the very beginning let it be clear."
Nagarjuna said, "Why are you afraid? Who is going to talk about your being a thief?"The thief said, "But whenever I go to a monk, to a religious priest, or to a religious saint, they always say, 'First stop stealing.'"
Nagarjuna laughed and said, "Then you must have gone to thieves; otherwise, why? Why should they be concerned? I am not concerned!"
The thief was very happy. He said, "Then it is okay. It seems that now I can become a disciple. You are the right master."
Nagarjuna accepted him and said, "Now you can go and do whatsoever you like. Only one condition has to be followed: be aware! Go, break into houses, enter, take things, steal; do whatsoever you like, that is of no concern to me, I am not a thief--but do it with full awareness."
The thief couldn't understand that he was falling into the trap. He said, "Then everything is okay. I will try." After three weeks he came back and said, "You are tricky--because if I become aware, I cannot steal. If I steal, awareness disappears. I am in a fix."
Nagarjuna said, "No more talk about your being a thief and stealing. I am not concerned; I am not a thief. Now, you decide! If you want awareness, then you decide. If you don't want it, then too you decide."
The man said, "But now it is difficult. I have tasted it a little, and it is so beautiful--I will leave anything, whatsoever you say. Just the other night for the first time I was able to enter the palace of the king. I opened the treasure. I could have become the richest man in the world--but you were following me and I had to be aware. When I became aware, diamonds looked just like stones, ordinary stones. When I lost awareness, the treasure was there. And I waited and did this many times. I would become aware and I became like a buddha, and I could not even touch it because the whole thing looked foolish, stupid--just stones, what am I doing? Losing myself over stones? But then I would lose awareness; they would become again beautiful, the whole illusion. But finally I decided that they were not worth it."

what is quantum leap ....

Often people who have transcended into other dimension ( who have experienced enlightenment )

use word QUANTUM LEAP .WHAT IS THIS QUANTUM LEAP IN THE WAY OF INNER JOURNEY ?very few seekers understand this when we use these words .

when I experienced my Enlightenment ...some thing within me told that this was QUANTUM LEAP .I have shared my experiences during satsang and shivir .But may be im not a very good orator that why im posting this piece of article for my friends so that they can understand more about QUANTUM LEAP

The Quantum Leap in Consciousness

Enlightenment is not a step-by-step-by-step process but a sudden leap. This movement from one state of consciousness to another seems frequently to be characterized by two primary factors, one of acute inner tension and spiritual anguish followed by a sudden and often dramatic release or surrender of the personality to a higher aspect of consciousness. If properly utilized, meditation and prayer serve to heighten the tension at such times. Another device is the Zen koan that corners the intellectual mind with a problem it cannot solve through the normal thinking processses.

Indian saint Sri Ramakrishna, in complete desperation, leapt from his meditations and tore a sword from the temple wall to kill himself- at that instant he reached enlightenment. Don Juan speaks of the 'crack between the worlds' as a doorway beyond which lies the abyss.

To the Zulu this point beyond time and space is the 'gate of distance'. TheUpanishads say: Where heaven and earth meet there is a space wide as a razor's edge or a fly's wing through which one may pass to another world.

THE MASTER KEY

I had 109 keys to open the BIG LOCK .I tried all keys but failed ,none of them worked .
I sat tired and frustrated on my failure .I asked the LOCK "WHERE

IS YOUR KEY ?None of these r working .
the LOCK LAUGHED.........and said "you tried all except the ONE ..."
But how can this be ?.....i am trying these same keys from years ...
i was puzzled ...
THE LOCK WAS SILENT ........
In deep silence a voice from the LOCK came ..."YOU ARE MY KEY "
I followed the instruction and went straight up to the LOCK surrendering myself to it .

THE LOCK OPENED ......DOOR WAS OPEN

and i knew I WAS THE MASTER KEY ....

Now i was not afraid of any lock because now i knew the secret towards freedom ..............

I WAS THE MASTER KEY
