Prem Rawat - Peace our Responsibility

Prem Rawat Maharaji quote- maharaji

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

Prem Rawat - 6.7 Billion Reasons

Prem Rawat Maharaji quote- nature

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.

- Prem Rawat

Maharaji - Accept this Breath

Prem Rawat Maharaji quote- maharaji

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.
- Maharaji

Prem Rawat - Accept the Gift

Prem Rawat Maharaji quote- cloud


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

Prem Rawat Maharaji - Worship

Prem Rawat Maharaji quote- maharaji


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

Prem Rawat Maharaji quote- nature

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.
- Prem Rawat

Guru Maharaji - Be Fulfilled

Prem Rawat Maharaji quote- macro


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.
- Maharaji

Prem Rawat - What is Your Reality

Prem Rawat Maharaji quote- maharaji

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.
- Prem Rawat

Maharaji - Fun of all is to be Alive

Prem Rawat Maharaji quote- maharaji

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.
- Maharaji

Guru Maharaji - You Exist

Prem Rawat Maharaji quote- flower

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.
- Maharaji

Prem Rawat - Opportunity

Prem Rawat Maharaji quote- macro


Did God create the problems in this world?
No.
We did.
It is about human beings.
If you could just know that this life is the chance to spend time with that which is the truest, unconditional love... This is the opportunity for every living being to spend time with the Beloved within, to feel gratitude for life and rejoice.
When that happens, you feel alive, and you begin to live.
And the most magnificent movement is the coming and going of the breath.
It needs no proof, no buildup.
Its blessing is obvious.
Is it obvious to you?

Maharaji - Sanity of being Alive

Prem Rawat Maharaji quote- nature


Wherever you go and whatever takes place, just remember this: Life is not just ups and downs.
They happen.
That’s our doing.
By our unconsciousness, we allow greed, anger, and fear to overtake the sanity of being alive.
If there is suffering on planet Earth, it is brought by the people, for the people.
We are the ones that set the expectation of how everything should be.
“You should be like this, live for this long, look like this, look like that.”
-Prem Rawat

Prem Rawat - Best Friend

Prem Rawat Maharaji quote- sunset


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.
-Prem Rawat

Maharaji - Infinite Joy

Prem Rawat Maharaji quote- nature


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.
- Prem Rawat

Prem Rawat - Fundamental Need

Prem Rawat Maharaji quote- nature


Being unconscious will get you hurt— no question about it.
When you don’t listen to your own fundamental needs, something will happen, and it will not be pleasant.
So what is pleasant?
Pleasant is when the priority of life is acknowledged and my heart is filled with gratitude.
When I know the friend within, when my house is built on the foundation of knowing— not beliefs, wishes, and ideas— it is very, very pleasant.
This is what life is all about— filling yourself with the pleasant, filling yourself with infinite joy.
- Prem Rawat

Prem Rawat Words of Peace - Equilibrium

Prem Rawat Maharaji quote- flower


We seek equilibrium.
The storms in our lives are not a good thing.
When a storm comes, we seek shelter.
We don’t say, “I’m going out in the storm now.
This is the perfect time.”
We need the equilibrium of feeling good.
I’m not going to define “feeling good.”
There are certain things that work for you, and certain things that don’t.
Feeling good works.
Feeling bad doesn’t.
You don’t get bored with feeling good.
When you are feeling bad, on the other hand, you want to get out of that situation.
This is your nature.
- Maharaji

Prem Rawat-Words of Peace-Life

Prem Rawat Maharaji quote- maharaji


What is this life all about?
One day, we all have to go.
You know that; it’s in the back of your mind some days.
Other days, you don’t bother thinking about it.
For most people, the subject is very unpleasant.
But the issue is your existence— you being alive.
Just what does that mean to you?
So many people say, “If we could just find a solution to this problem, everything would be fine.”
People everywhere basically know that they want to be happy.
They want to be content.
They want to feel good.
Every human being is innately like that.
This is our nature.
-Maharaji

Prem Rawat Maharaji-Words of Peace-Breath

Prem Rawat Maharaji quote- macro


When this breath comes into you— and it just did— nobody can say, “I have been breathing for 60 years, so it’s okay if I don’t breathe for six hours.”
No, it’s not okay.
Each breath is needed.
Every day joy, peace, needs to be accepted, felt, understood.
This is the dance.
This is the symphony of life.

- Prem Rawat

Prem Rawat Maharaji-Words of Peace-Wisdom

Prem Rawat Maharaji quote- maharaji

"That possibility is always there in your life.
If you have the wisdom, you will take advantage of it.
Sometimes people think wisdom is enlightenment.
They see an old painting of a saint with a light over their head and think, “Oh, that’s an enlightened person.”
But true enlightenment is when you recognize, and wisdom is deciding to choose the joy that is within you.
It is not about knowing what’s coming tomorrow.
Problems come and go.
If you have a problem, one day it will go just like it came.
Things will change— you will change— but the passion for joy, for clarity, will remain with you for the rest of your life."
- Maharaji

Prem Rawat - Peace is very personal

Prem Rawat Maharaji quote- maharaji

"Someone told me that they wanted peace so that they could give it to others.
But you can’t give your peace to anybody else, just as you can’t give anybody your time.
You cannot give a person who is dying even five more minutes.
Peace is very personal.
By having peace in your life, you can become a catalyst for others, this is true, but you cannot give them peace.
They have to find their own thirst, have their own understanding, and find that peace within."
- Prem Rawat

Prem Rawat - Turn Inside

Prem Rawat Maharaji quote- macro

"What an incredible opportunity it is to choose a gratification that is given every day when you turn inside.
It’s not about the struggles you’ve had or the list of failures, but about each success that took place.
You will still make mistakes, but the beauty is it’s not about mistakes or failures.
It’s not about the length of the night.
It’s about the rising of the sun.
The light comes, and a new day begins."
- Prem Rawat

Prem Rawat - Realise the Pulse of Life

Prem Rawat Maharaji quote- snow

"You are the vessel for the sweetest satisfaction, joy— the pure clear water of contentment.
When you are filled with this, you come alive, because that’s what life is.
You can understand.
You don’t have to be confused.
It’s that simple.
Realize the pulse of life."
- Prem Rawat

Maharaji - Words of Peace - Open your heart

Prem Rawat Maharaji quote- macro

"Reality is beautiful.
Don’t try to measure it, because contentment, joy, love, understanding cannot be measured.
There is no scale for them.
Understand.
Open your heart.
Look within and see how beautiful it is.
Feel your life filled with joy, filled with gratitude, not explanations or ideas.
This is reality; no formulas or philosophies are needed to truly receive the gift every single day."
- Prem Rawat

Words of Peace - Your Real Potential

Prem Rawat Maharaji quote- nature


"What is your real potential?
There is a power, a beauty, that resides within.
When I turn within, my heart is filled with joy, peace.
I have to choose this every single day, because in this world, the line between the virtual and the real can become too faded.
And I choose reality, because it is far more beautiful."
- Prem Rawat

What you are looking for is inside of you.

Prem Rawat Maharaji quote- sunset


"It is obvious that we make the choice.
And what should our choice be?
Well, to put it in context, there is a place you can go that is not really real.
It’s virtual.
There, you can create an alter— personality of yourself.
You can fly.
You can do all the things you’ve always wanted to do but could never do, but only virtually, not really.
In this virtual place, people buy apartments and sofas for apartments.
But when you buy the virtual apartment and the furniture, you pay for it with real money.
It’s a million— dollar— a— day business— $365,000,000 a year.
And it’s growing.
People even meet in this virtual place and get married!
I bring a message about reality, a message that says, “What you are looking for is inside of you.”

Who are you?
What are you?
What is your core?
We need to know that in this day and age more than at any other time.
Otherwise, our choices will be virtual or make— believe, but the consequences will be real.
Unfortunately, consequences are always real."
- Prem Rawat

Prem Rawat - Words of Peace - Technology

Prem Rawat Maharaji quote- maharaji


"Cell phones have saved many lives.
But the same technology that is saving so many lives is also being used in weapons and a weapons delivery system that is wiping out more lives than it is saving.
And the saving might happen over a period of a year, but the destruction happens within days."
- Prem Rawat

Prem Rawat - Words of Peace - Subject of Life

Prem Rawat Maharaji quote- macro


"It’s so important to understand the subject of this life.
I don’t think the importance of truly grasping what this means can be over— emphasized.
As human beings, we have an incredible brain, incredible talent.
We can accomplish so many things— almost too many.
Because we are alive, we can experience peace and joy.
We can go to the moon and create space stations.
We can peer into the deep, deep reaches of the universe.
And because we are alive, we can also create wars, decimate this planet, and make it impossible for everything to exist." - Prem Rawat

Prem Rawat - Words of Peace - Enjoy

Prem Rawat Maharaji quote- maharaji

"You will be set free when you understand that you do not need the support of all the ideas, that you can just stand on this bridge of life, and that it is solid, good, strong.
You can jump on it, and it won’t fall down.
You will be able to appreciate its strength.
And then your heart will fill with gratitude for all that you have been given.
And when your heart fills with gratitude, you will have the answers without needing the questions.
It gets better and better, because there is no limit to that better, and there is no limit to the ability you have been given to enjoy." - Prem Rawat

Prem Rawat Maharaji - The Keys

The Keys

The Keys - Prem Rawat Maharaji

Many people, as they hear Prem Rawat, uncover the depth behind his words and experience hope and inspiration. While some people feel satisfied just listening, others want to experience for themselves the peace within that he says is possible. For those, he offers a practical way – four techniques he calls Knowledge.

Prem Rawat Maharaji


To guide people through the preparation process of receiving Knowledge, Maharaji has produced videos called The Keys.

Before learning these techniques, there is a period of preparation that takes from three to five months. The preparation involves viewing The Keys. These videos clear your doubt and confusion, and answer most of your questions.
People listening to Prem Rawat - Maharaji


There are six Keys. Each one of them is a key point in the preparation. The first five each consist of a presentation by Maharaji and up to twelve hours of supporting video material. Watching these videos helps a person develop the necessary understanding before being taught the techniques of Knowledge.

The sixth Key is shown during a special session in which Maharaji teaches the techniques of Knowledge via a video presentation. Such sessions take place throughout the year all over the world.

As of May 2008, Key Six sessions have been held in 621 cities in 67 countries in the last eight years. The Key Six session is available in 68 languages and has been attended by 365,237 people during that period.
