Spiritual Discipline and Devotion
- Remembrance: Wherever you are, remember yourself, that you are; this consciousness that you are should become a continuity.
- Through this remembrance, this mindfulness, comes the authentic religion, comes the authentic morality.
- Self-remembering is the beginning, witnessing is the end.
- In witnessing, the ego cannot enter. But in self-remembering, there is every possibility of the ego pretending to be yourself.
- Meditation is Remembrance. Wherever you are remember yourself, that you are: this consciousness that you are should become a continuity.
- Self-Discipline: Control is manipulating yourself, discipline is to understand yourself. Discipline is a natural phenomenon, control is unnatural.
- Be disciplined according to your own awareness. Follow your own awareness, be a light unto yourself.
- Discipline never becomes meditation. But meditation always brings a discipline, an inner discipline.
- Anything that helps you to go through this process of meditation is discipline.
- Watching is the key of meditation: Watch your mind.
- Spiritual Discipline and Devotion: The path of discipline is quite different from that of devotion.
- Spiritual Discipline means learning about yourself.
- Spiritual Discipline means to live and discover your own code of life. Once you become aware of your own code of life, you will see that it is not a fixed thing. It is as dynamic as life itself.
- Devotion means that you are beginning to experience the divine in matter, that you are beginning to perceive the unmanifest in the manifest, that the formless has begun to glimpsed shimmering in form. Devotion is a way of merging and melting into existence.
- Devotion knows only one thing, remembrance.
