• Be less of a judge and you will be surprised that when you become a witness and you don’t judge yourself, you stop judging others too. And that makes you more human, more compassionate, more understanding.

Godliness

 

 

All is divine. In fact there is no God, only godliness. God is not a person but a quality, not a person but a presence.

 

The idea of God as a person is anthropomorphic: we have made hat image in our own image. It is nothing but man-projected; it is not the true God. That's why Buddha is silent about God. He talks about godliness but never about God.

 

My own experience is exactly the same: there is no God but here is godliness, the whole existence is overflowing with godliness. There is no division between God and the world; existence is divine.

 

Start looking at existence with this vision, with these eyes, and you will be surprised because you will start seeing things you had never sen before. You have been passing the same things every day: the same trees and the same birds and the same people. But once you have this vision, that all is divine, you start looking at things in a new light. Then the world is no more a puzzle, no more a problem, no more a question - not a question to be solved but a mystery to be lived.
