Different Kinds of Tears

Devotion is very beautiful. A student comes to a master, a teacher, a guru, with tears in his eyes, there is so much problems. And when he leaves he carries the same tears, but the quality of the tear is different; it's of gratitude. Still tears flow, but they are of gratitude, of love.

 

The Big Mind

There is no mind in the enlightened person, but still the enlightened Mind also does feel. He is sensitive. He is sensitive to everyone's feelings. If one person, one devotee, one person in the satsang is not feeling well, immediately it is reflected in the big Mind, also. Because the big Mind is the sum total of all the small minds.

 

The Best Form of Worship

The best "puja," the best form of worship, is to be happy, to be grateful.

 

Go Deep into Sadness

If some sadness arises---"oh, I feel a little sad"---go deep into the sadness, and you will see that very sadness is nothing but longing, and that very longing---the tears of longing---is nothing but love, and love is nothing but gratefulness, and gratefulness is nothing but your very Being.
