Buddhas Quotes and Sayings

• Meditation is nothing but your mind in a silent state. Just as a lake is silent, not even ripples on it... thoughts are ripples. Meditation is mind relaxed -- don't make things very complex -- mind in a state of not doing anything, just at ease. And the moment you are relaxed, silent, peaceful, there is great insight and understanding of things that you have never understood before. Nobody is explaining anything to you. Just your clarity of vision makes things clear. - Osho
   

• Just as a man would dive in order to get something that had fallen into the water, so one should dive into oneself, with a keen one-pointed mind, controlling speech and breath, and find the place whence the 'I' originates. - Ramana Maharshi
   

• Mind means the turmoil, the illness, the disease; mind means the tense, the anguished state. The mind cannot be silent; when there is silence there is no mind. When silence comes, mind disappears; when mind is there, silence is no more. So there cannot be any silent mind, just as there cannot be any healthy disease. - Osho
   

• Any lifetime that is spent without seeing the master
  Is either death in disguise or a deep sleep.
  The water that pollutes you is poison;
  The poison that purifies you is water. - Jelaluddin Rumi
   

• When a beloved one dies, there is sorrow and loneli-ness; but this feeling of missing someone, whom one has often seen, is rooted in attachment to the form independently of the soul. It is the form which has vanished, not the soul. The soul is not dead; in its true nature, it has not even passed away; for it is everywhere. But through attachment to the body, the form was considered as important; all longings, desires, emotions, thoughts were centred upon the form: and when, through death, the form disappears, there is a vacuum which expresses through missing the departed one. - Meher Baba
   

• Remove duality and do away with all disputes;
  The Hindus and Muslims are not other than He.
  Deem everyone virtuous, there are no thieves.
  For, within every body He himself resides.
  How the Trickster has put on a mask! - Bulle Shah
