YOUR POT
Imagine you have a clay pot. Its not antique or anything
special. It is what it is: a relatively inexpensive clay pot.
If you ll the pot with diamonds, its value will go up.
Conversely, if it is lled with garbage, its value will go
down. And when that which is in it is taken out of it, it will
return to its base value.
Our human body is like that clay pot. Its value is what
it is. And when something incredible is placed inside it,
its value increases a hundredfold. When the human pot
is lled with valuables like clarity, understanding, love,
peace, sincerity, fulllment, it becomes priceless.

What you admire in a person is not their
clay pot, but the value of what is in it.
And if you want to increase the value of
your own being, then you must ll your
pot with precious items.
Are you interested in increasing the value
of the time that you have on earth? I dont
want to ll your head with whats going
to happen to you after you die, because
I dont think you can aford to speculate
about that. What you have to do, you have
to do now.
THE VALUE OF TIME
What if heaven is inside you right now?
What if heaven has always been inside
you, a heaven that can make your life
so sweet? From bitternessthe venom
of misunderstandingto incredible
sweetness? When you are in love, love
bestows on you a nectar. When you are
clear, clarity bestows on you a nectar.
And when you are unclear, when you
are in doubt, when you are questioning,
confusion bestows on you a venom. And its
puzzling, because you know the confusion
doesnt feel good. You dont know how to
get out of it, but you know its not good.
In pain and sufering, you know its not
good. But you should also know that the
solution lies within you.
You have to ll your pot with something
precious. Not once. Again and again and
again until it is full. Anything less is a
compromise. Every moment that goes by
without fulllment is a moment wasted.
You try to understand the value of time.
You shouldnt be worrying about time
because theres nothing you can do about
it. The only way you can do something
about time is to take of from earth in a
spaceship and travel at the speed of light
for an eon. Then you might be able to do
something about time.
But on this planet Earth, time is the
wrong thing to be worried about. What
you should worry about is what you are
going to do in the time that you have. Do
you not know that your time is limited?
How quickly you forget that.

The very thing that is so fragile has
forgotten its fragility. The very thing that
is destined to go one dayas it has come
one dayhas forgotten about leaving.
PEACE OR CONFUSION?
There are a lot of people who say: I am
not under any illusion. Really? I think
youve fallen for a pretty big illusion if
you dont understand that one day youll
have to goand you had better shape up
and do what you need to do while you can
do it. Im just stating a fact. You can run
around confused in this world, or be in
peace. Pick one.
Is there something inside you that favors
peace over confusion? If you nd that
there is, then congratulations: you are a
human being. You have just reached out
and felt your most fundamental want.
You have had many things in your life,
and I hope everything is kind to you and
you have many more. But unless you
have that one thing called peace, life is
going to feel empty to you.
Unless you have
peace, life is
going to feel
empty to you.
I didnt make that rule. And I didnt
put the idea into your head so that you
might begin favoring peaceyou did that
yourself. All I did was ask, Which one do
you favor: confusion or peace? And you
instantly knew the answer.
The issue is: Can you be fullled every
day? To me, this is not a question, because
I know the answer. And the answer is,
Yes, you can. Every single day.
When I feel hungry, I need food. Can I
say to myself, I had food yesterday, the
day before that and the day before thatI
dont need to eat today? It doesnt work
like that. You are hungry; you need food.
When you feel sleepy, you need to sleep.
You cannot deduce, I slept yesterday, the
day before that and the day before that
so tonight I dont have to sleep. You have
to eat and you have to sleep, every day.
What is your necessity? Many of your
necessities are dictated by your body,
by your thoughts, by your ideas, by
your responsibilities. You understand
those and thats good. But what about
the necessities that are dictated by your
heartfrom inside of you?
It is not about explanations: it is about
feeling. Love is not about explanations.
Truth is not about explanations. Those
things can only be felt, not written down.
God is not about explanations. If there is
one thing that is most misunderstood, it is
God. That is why there is so much trouble
in the world in the name of God.
TO BE RICH
When I feel the closeness inside me to
my God, I smell a perfume. The perfume
of God is peace. No more dualities. No
more confusion. Just understanding. No
questions. Just answers. I feel gratitude
because truly I have been gratied.
Fullled. And then I walk this earth
knowing and understanding, even through
all the bumps. Life is not about the bumps.
Life is not about the storms. Life is about
being a human being.
Pain is pain. Sufering is sufering.
And peace is peace. Regardless of
your age. Regardless of your money.
Regardless of your stature. Regardless
of your accomplishments, peace is peace.
Regardless of your failures, peace is
peace. The heart wants that peace and
thats it. The only way to be fullled is to
feel peace. To feel joy.
It takes two things to be rich. One, you
have to have something very precious.
Two, you have to have a lot of it. If you
have some gold thats just the size of a
pin, its not going to make you rich. You
have to have a lot of it. Do you know
that your breath is not only precious, but
you have a lot of it? If you could nd the
preciousness of the breath, you would be
rich. Very, very rich.
Can you be
fullled?
Yes, every day!
