it energy only when you are identified with it. When you say 'I am the mind' then you can give it energy. Only when you come so close can the mind take energy from you. When you say 'I am not the mind', the mind is there, impotent. The idea of anger will be there but it will be impotent; it cannot harm anybody and it will disperse soon, like smoke!

Slowly slowly one has to learn the art of becoming aware, mindful, in each mood, in each state of mind. And once you have learned the knack of it, there is no need to go into psychoanalysis, no need to go into psychosynthesis either. By becoming separate from the mind you have dissolved all psychologies. And then Adler and Jung and Freud and Assagioli all look childish.

Once you come out of these clouds you are a Buddha. You are a Buddha even when you are in the clouds; the only difference is that you don't know it. But that knowing is such a difference, the difference that makes the difference, because in the state of sleep you live in hell, and in the state of awareness you become paradise.
Deva means god, vihara means dwelling in -- dwelling in god, being in god, living in god.
God is within, god is without, because god is all. In fact god is another name for the all. God
