Gratitude is prayer...

Unless u r capable of saying "No", your "Yes" is meaningless. You cannot do anything; you have to say, "Yes", the "No" simply does not arise in u.


Rabindranath Tagore
I never read the scriptures; infact I avoid them, because I have my own experience of the divine, and I don't want others' words to be mixed with my original, authentic, individual experience. I want to offer to God exactly what is my heartbeat.
Others may have known - certainly others have known - but their knowledge cannot be my knowledge. Only my experience can satisfy me, can fulfill my search, can give me trust in existence.
I don't want to be a believer.
I want to be a knower.
I don't want to be knowledgeable, I want to be innocent enough so that existence reveals its mysteries to me.
Every man contains God, every cloud, every tree, every ocean is full of godliness, so who is to worship whom!

What a great trip! We have so much laughter and jokes.
Laughter came whenever I swam. And the laughter so great. This is despite me not meditating for 3 days. The joy is in me.
We enjoyed each other company. So much joy. Father, thanks to you.

Osho
Once something starts happening, then there is trouble, once something starts growing in ur life that is not growing in the hearts of the crowd that surrounds you, you will be a stranger, you will be an outsider. The crowd never forgives stranger nor outsiders. It has to destroy them just for its own peace of mind.

My laughter that's come on its own. I just feel joyful and stomach starts rumbling and laughter came. There is no reason to laugh. But I jus laugh involuntarily. Later when the laughter has manifested, I start to feel joyful and laughter increased.

Today I saw a handsome Englishman and then I saw his wife. First tot was slight envious and tot d gal was below him. Immediately alternative tot. Be happy that eventhough she seem under him, she still have him. My awareness is getting stronger.
But I do wonder what's next for me.

Osho
Never be greedy and never be concerned with trivia, and your movement towards greater silences of the heart will become easier everyday.
Be loving, be joyous, and be always thankful for whatever is happening to you.
Life is giving you so much that your thankfulness is always going to fall short. But the thankful heart grows easily, with gratitude, you are nourished.
You become stronger in moving towards the unknown.
Except gratitude, there is no other prayer.
