Freedom is the blossom.

Love is the perfume.

Once you have tasted the nectar of silence

then whether your eyes are open or closed does not matter.

Once you have tasted the nectar of that dimension, then it does not matter whether you are sitting in a room or working in an office or the kitchen or talking to people.

The quality of aloneness, the quality of motionlessness, the quality of thought-freeness does not get affected by physical or verbal movement.

To realize that one is really alone gives new courage to the person.

Discovery of truth is a journey, a voyage on which one has to launch alone.

You cannot impose the inquiry of truth in the heart of your partner.

You cannot compel your partner to have the same intensity or the same depth of inquiry.

So irrespective of where you are, the voyage has to be launched upon alone.

Taking the inward journey and arriving at silence is the voyage in solitude.

Meditation is meeting eternity in the present moment.

It is resolving every problem as it comes.

It is resolving every tension as it creeps in.

It is facing the challenges of life in a non-fearful way.

When the state of observation is sustained, it changes the quality of your biological structure.

The nerves are steady.

The chemical system has an equilibrium.

And there is relaxation.
