Craving clouds your mind. Anything you crave -- your mind will not be clear; clarity in the mind is lost. Feverishness makes you lose your wisdom
-- From Bhakti Sutras #1, Types of Love

The mind plays so many tricks. The mind is charmed always by a distance. We are not charmed by God because he is very close to us; he is the nearest. So the mind tries to keep God at a very great distance
-- From Bhakti Sutras #14, The Concept of God

Something which is simple, the mind cannot accept. The ego wants very complicated and difficult things
-- From Bhakti Sutras #14, The Concept of God

You think you love somebody, [but] you really do not love that person, you are just wanting to have pleasure from that person. Your mind is on the pleasure; after a while that dies out. When the attraction dies out, your love disappears. That type of love is rajasic love...it is an animalistic love
-- From Bhakti Sutras #14 cont., Guru Purnima, 1990

Guru Purnima is the day of full moon. The full moon reminds one of the fullness of life, how full our life has become
-- From Bhakti Sutras #14 cont., Guru Purnima, 1990

Similarly, you might not like climbing a mountain, but for some it is a big joy. They climb big mountains for joy, isn't it? In case of Ram, he was full of joy from within.

Satsang

11 Oct 2012 - Satsang Transription: We will do some movement and then meditate.  Sri Sri conducting a Meditation!  If you see the mythological picture, you find that Mahavir is sitting and there is a 5 headed cobra behind him. It is a subtle thing. You are sitting in meditation and your consciousness is getting alert, awake, as thought in the back ground there is a thousand headed cobra!  How many of you felt alterness?  That is the symbol of alertness. It is a symbol of wakefulness in a deep state of rest.  That is meditation, wanting nothing, doing nothing, and no effort.  There are two types of descriptions.
