One With The Whole Quotes

“Saying yes to existence means surrendering to God. It means not living the isolated life of the ego. It means becoming one with the whole. It contains in essence the whole of religion.
Meditation is saying yes to existence. And then there is no fear. When you drop your ego all fear disappears. Then whatsoever God wills you do. You are no more responsible, because you are not. Then it is all up to God.
With this trust a great revolution in your life
happens. You don't exist as a separate entity
anymore. It is like a drop slipping into the ocean.
It means losing its limited definition, it means losing its identity, but it means to gain tremendously. It becomes the ocean. So the loss is not much, but the gain is infinite.”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, The Way of the Heart

“The only way to know God is meditation. Meditation means a state of consciousness, where all thoughts have been dropped. The thoughts still remain there, but they are no more part of you. You have transcended them, and you are standing above them like a watcher on the hills. That is what meditation is. 
Meditation is not against thought. Meditation is transcendence. Transcendence is going beyond thoughts.And these are the great moments of life, when love starts showering from the beyond and one becomes a beloved of God. 
But one has to earn it, one has to be worthy of it and one has to deserve it. That earning comes through meditation. Meditation prepares you to receive love. After beginning to meditate when I was 15 years old, and after conducting satsang for 10 years in Sweden, I began to meet God every day. I meet God in the wind, and in the silence of nature, which filled me with bliss. It gave me the feeling of being one with the whole. 
God is always ready to give, but we are not ready to receiveit. We are not open, silent and empty enough to receive it. We are so full of thoughts, desires, memories and dreams that there is no room within us. This room has to be created. That is the art of meditation. And then you will start dancing with God.    ”
