me, friendship is not an advantageous transaction or give-and-take, for me
friendship is a certain overlapping of life.
Ø Someone
can shoot straight and someone cannot. Why? Lack of attention. From the
simplest to the highest things, it is just lack of attention.
Ø Light
comes and goes. Darkness is always – it is the basis of existence.

you want to get into prevention, it is a lifelong commitment to create a
society of a certain kind. Marching on the streets for one day and lighting
candles is not enough for prevention. Prevention is a lifelong commitment.
Ø Yoga means to unite the limited with unlimited.
Ø Life is not outside of you. You are life.

things happen.

emotions. Time to move from psychological space to life-scape.

creation and the creator. Finding access to this intelligence is our skill and
endeavor.

pooja-doing, coconut-breaking person. A devotee has understood what his place
in the existence is.
