Prem Rawat - Be Fulfilled
 |
Aren’t you curious which part of you dictates your life?
Both are parts of you, no question about it.
Which is the part that makes decisions for you?
It’s a very simple question, but it has incredibly profound consequences.
I’m not talking about decisions of what to eat, what movie to see, what clothes to buy, or even who to marry.
I’m talking about the decisions that really matter to you.
The heart is incapable of making decisions in an illusive world.
It does not understand it.
The mind is quite capable of making decisions in this world.
It does understand it, because it created it.
“We need this, we need this, we need this...”
The mind has made the world situation confusing.
But in the realm of the heart, there is no confusion.
There never was and never will be.
In the realm of the heart, there is only one thing: To be fulfilled.
To find that joy, to find that feeling— not a description of the feeling.

Words of Peace - Realm of the Heart
 |
There is something in you that, just by reading a description of food, can say, “That’s good.”
But your nature is that only after food has touched the tongue and the aroma has reached the nose can you say, “Wow! This is good!” So for one part of you, description is good enough.
For another part of you, something has to be real.
Then, and only then, is it accepted.
In that part of you that belongs to the realm of the real, there is something very beautiful called the heart.
In the realm of the heart, description means nothing.

Prem Rawat - Hans Yog Sadhna
 |
Your strength lies in understanding your thirst, your need to be in that joy, to be in that happiness.
There is a dimension inside of you that is greater than all that you see on the outside.
You are more than the sum of all the bad that happens in your life.
Peace is inside of you even in turmoil, and you can experience that peace.
It begins with understanding your thirst for it.
- Guru Maharaji

Prem Rawat - One step at a Time

I am saying, “Let us know the dream of our heart to have that crystal clear water.”
Everybody can not only drink from it but bathe in it.
This is the dream; this is the possibility.
One step at a time.

Prem Rawat - Find your Peace
 |
Some people say, “If all the children were taken care of, there would be peace.”
God takes care of that child for nine months in the womb.
That’s not where the problem begins.
It’s when the child comes into our world.
Nine months— food, water, sleep— everything is perfectly taken care of.
I am not here to give you peace.
I am here to put the idea in your head that peace exists inside of you.
Start thinking, that’s all.
The thirsty will find the water, because they have the thirst.
But if there is no thirst, they could be standing next to a lake, and it won’t make any difference whatsoever.

Prem Rawat - Kindness
There is a saying: “If you are strong, you should be kind.
If you are smart, you should be simple.
If you are wealthy, you should be humble.”
I agree.
The kindness that needs to exist is in the heart of people, but skepticism hides that kindness.
If you are smart, you should be simple.
If you are wealthy, you should be humble.”
I agree.
The kindness that needs to exist is in the heart of people, but skepticism hides that kindness.
Prem Rawat - Kindness
 |
Peace and the quest for peace will persevere.
You are the little seeds that, when they germinate, carry on the cause of peace in this world.
What is peace?
People think, “If everybody had food, then we would have peace.”
Excuse me.
Who creates food?
Do people create food?
No.
We can sow the seeds.
Nature does the work.
Nature grows the trees and the fruit.
Is nature partial to what language you speak?
Is nature partial to any of the divisions that we have created?
No.
Can the people of this world be fed?
Yes.
What does it take?
Kindness.

Prem Rawat - Peace our Responsibility
 |
We have relied on institutions long enough.
Institutions can bring us prosperity— ways to flourish on the outside.
But when it comes to feeling the peace on the inside, this remains our responsibility.
I have gone from village to village.
I have seen the poor, and I have seen the rich.
These are society’s differences, the glasses they give us that say, “Look at me.
I am rich; I am poor.
I am tall; I am short.
I am a woman; I am a man.
I am educated; I am not educated.”
These divisions have pushed people further away from each other, not brought them together.
Look at the condition of this world.
There are more educated people today than there have ever been.
And look what that has brought.
If the solution lies anywhere, it is, and has always been, inside of us.
It is incumbent upon human beings to bring peace, to bring kindness to each other.

Prem Rawat - 6.7 Billion Reasons
 |
I have traveled the world many times speaking about peace.
And people ask me, “How is peace going to be possible?” I tell them, “Maybe you have ten reasons why peace is not possible: There is too much greed.
There are too many people who are hungry.
I have 6.7 billion reasons why there should be peace on this earth— 6.7 billion being the population of this earth, approximately.”
I have the same interest you do, the same quest as you, the same dream as you.
And we, the people, can make the difference for peace on this earth.

Maharaji - Accept this Breath
 |
This breath, accept it.
The day you do, that will be the most incredible act of worship you will have ever done.
Your heart will instantly fill with gratitude.
And when your heart is filled with gratitude, there is no greater heaven on the face of this earth.
Time stops; worries are gone.
The heart is filled with gratitude.
The heart is the best.
It will bring you back home.

Prem Rawat - Accept the Gift
 |
What do you want?
Look at your heart.
It hasn’t changed.
You may have gotten older, but your heart has not changed.
What you desired when you were very little, you still want today.
And it’s not the toys.
It’s the joy of being alive— to wake up, to want it, to grab it, to accept it in earnest.
I want you in your life to feel that feeling of fulfillment.
That’s all.
I’m not here to confuse you or tell you that everything you know is junk.
I’m not here to say you should follow a religion or not follow one.
Do whatever you have to do.
But of all the things you do in your life, do this one, too: feel fulfilled.
And of all the things you do, do this one also: accept the gift that has been given to you so abundantly.

Prem Rawat Maharaji - Worship
 |
Do you know what the greatest form of worship is?
Acceptance.
In that acceptance, in that understanding, clarity begins to come, not confusion.
What comes with joy is clarity.
These things are paired.
Clarity is paired with joy, not with confusion.
Confusion comes with doubt, anger, fear— all the things we don’t like and don’t know how to get rid of.
What is being offered is not just to feel that joy for one moment— which would be enough— but to feel it whenever you want to.
There is no question that whenever you turn within— be it your last breath or not— you will be rewarded with joy, with peace.
- Maharaji

Prem Rawat - Pure Joy
 |
It’s not about the beginning or the end of life.
It is that one day, one minute, one second you are touched by the pure joy, the pure reality, that resides in you 24/7, that never abandons you.
Wherever you go, whoever you are, the gift keeps coming.
All you have to do to put your world right is to accept it.
That’s all.
You don’t have to ferment it, reshape it, cut it, wash it, frame it.

Guru Maharaji - Be Fulfilled
 |
When the call from within comes, when the heart says, “Be fulfilled,” we ignore it.
We think it is not significant enough, or we say, “I don’t have time for this stuff.”
We think that, as this breath has been coming and going, it will continue to come and go, and that there will be no end to it.
Excuse me, there is.
And the humility that it evokes is so amazing.
It’s not like a hammer falling down.
It’s a fine line.
One day, I have to go.
And when that becomes certain, the value of this time, this life, this breath becomes clear.

Prem Rawat - What is Your Reality
 |
People say, “Life is terrible.
If you think life is fun, if you think life is about joy, then you need a reality check.”
What is your reality?
My conviction, my understanding is that of all the days you have in this life, if just one day you are fulfilled, then this life was worth it.
If it was just six hours, three hours, one hour, one moment, one second of being able to realize what you have been given— this life was worth it.
You cannot realize what you have been given until you have accepted it from your heart.
Look at what you have been given in its entirety.
Even if it is for one second, it is so beautiful, so precious, that it is indeed enough.

Maharaji - Fun of all is to be Alive
We all want to have fun, to enjoy.
The most fun of all is to be alive.
Not everybody understands that, because we get caught up in what “fun” is, what life is, and how that should be defined.
And all of a sudden, we find ourselves coping with what is happening around us rather than enjoying.
Coping is totally different from enjoying in the truest sense.
I’m not talking about parties and balloons, but about something so essential to a human being— the fun of the heart.

Guru Maharaji - You Exist
 |
You exist.
You are alive.
Gather your strengths, not your weaknesses.
What are your strengths?
Your strengths are consciousness, kindness, understanding, acknowledging, rejoicing, loving.
And when you walk with these, the outcome is beautiful.
Every second you spend with the beauty inside of you, you are liberated.
You are free.

Prem Rawat - Best Friend
 |
Think of life like this: It is your opportunity to spend time with the best friend you ever had.
It is your chance to be with the ultimate clarity, the ultimate kindness, the ultimate joy.
That’s what a life is.
It’s not promised to be forever.
But the possibility exists that you get to spend time with that which is the most beautiful.
And that resides in your heart.

Maharaji - Infinite Joy

Can life really be filled with infinite joy?
Is that possible?
If you doubt this, you don’t understand the nature of what resides within you, because what resides within you is complete joy, complete clarity.
