INTIMACY: THE GOAL OF LIFE IS LOVE

                                    

When two lovers are really open to each other, when they are not afraid of each other and not hiding anything from each other, that is intimacy. When they can say each and everything without any fear that the other will be offended or hurt… If the lover thinks the other will be offended, then the intimacy is not yet deep enough. Then it is a kind of arrangement, which can be broken by anything. But when two lovers start feeling that there I nothing to hide and everything can be said, and the trust has come to such a depth where even if you don’t say it the other is going to know, then they start becoming one.

Life is a pilgrimage, and unless love is attained, it remains a pilgrimage, never reaching anywhere. It goes on moving in circles, and the moment of fulfillment never comes when one can say, “I have arrived. I have become that for which I had come. The seed is fulfilled in the flowers.” Love is the goal, life is the journey without a goal is bound to be neurotic, haphazard; it will not have any direction. One day you are going north, and another day you are going south; it will remain accidental, anything can lead you anywhere. You will remain driftwood unless the goal is clear. It may be a very distant star – that doesn’t make any difference – but it should be clear. If it is distant, it is okay, but it should be there.

The word intimacy comes from the Latin root intimum, which means your interiority, your innermost core. Unless you have something there, you can’t be intimate with anybody. You cannot allow intimum, intimacy, because they will see the hole, the wound, and the pus oozing out of it. They will see that you don’t know who you are, that you are a madman, that you don’t know where you are going. That you have not even heard your own song that your life is a chaos, not a cosmos. Hence, the fear of intimacy.

Even lovers rarely become intimate. And just to be sexually related to somebody is not intimacy – the genital orgasm is not all that is there in intimacy, it is just the periphery of it. Intimacy can be with it or it can be without it. Intimacy is a totally different dimension. It is allowing the other to come into you, to see you as you see yourself – to allow the other to see you from your inside, to invite somebody to that deepest core of your being. In the modern world intimacy is disappearing. Even lovers are not intimate. Friendship is only a word now; it has disappeared. And the reason? The reason is that there is nothing to share. Who wants to show one’s inner poverty? One wants to pretend, “O am rich, I have arrived, I know what I am doing, I know where I am going.”

One is not ready and courageous to open up, to show one’s inner chaos and be vulnerable. The other may exploit it; that fear is there. The other may become too dominant, seeing that you are chaos. Seeing that you need a master, that you are not a master of your own being, the other may become the master. Hence, everybody tries own being, the other may become the master. Hence, everybody tries to protect themselves so that nobody knows their inner helplessness; otherwise they can be exploited. This world consists of much exploitation.

Love is a goal. And once goal is clear, you start growing an inner richness. The wound disappears and becomes a lotus; the wound is transformed into a lotus. That is the miracle of love, the magic of love. Love is the greatest alchemical force in the world. Those who know how to use it can reach the highest peak called God. Those who know not how to use it remain crawling in the dark recesses of existence; they never come to the sunlit peaks of life.

Love is state is your consciousness when you are joyous, when there is a dance in your being. Something starts vibrating, radiating, from your center; something starts pulsating around you. It starts reaching people: it can reach women, it can reach men, it can reach rocks and trees and stars.

When I am talking about love, I am talking about this love: a love that is not a relationship but a state of being. Always remember: whenever I use the word love, I use it as a state of being, not as a relationship. Relationship is only a very minor aspect of it. But your idea of love is basically that of relationship, as if that is all.

Relationship is needed only because you can’t be alone, because you are not yet capable of meditation. Hence, meditation is a must before you can really love. One should be capable of being alone, utterly alone, and yet tremendously blissful. Then you can love. Then your love is no longer a need but a sharing, no longer a necessity,. You will not become dependent on the people you love. You will share – and sharing is beautiful.

But what ordinarily happens in the world is: You don’t have love; the person you think you love has no love in his being, either, and both are asking for love from each other. Two beggars begging each other! Hence, the fight, the conflict, the continuous quarrel between the lovers – over trivia, over immaterial things, over stupid things! – but they go on quarrelling.

The basic quarrel is that the husband thinks he is not getting what is his right to get; the wife thinks she is not getting what is her right to get. The wife thinks she has been deceived, and the husband also thinks that he has been deceived. Where is love? Nobody bothers to give, everybody wants to get. And when everybody is after getting, nobody gets it and everybody feels at a loss, empty, tense.

The basic foundation is missing, and you have started making the temple without the foundation. It is going to fall and collapse any moment. And you know how many times your love has collapsed, and still you go on doing the same thing again and again.

You live in such unawareness! You don’t see what you have been doing to your life and to others’ lives. You go on mechanically, robot like, repeating the old pattern, knowing perfectly well you have done this before. And you know what has always been the outcome, and deep down you are also alert that it is going to happen the same way again – because there is no difference. You are preparing the same conclusion, the same collapse.

If you can learn anything from the failure of love, it is to become more aware, become more meditative. And by meditation I mean the capacity to be joyous alone. Very rare people are capable of being blissful for no reason at all – just sitting silently and blissfully! Others will think them mad because the idea of happiness is that it has to come from somebody else. You meet a beautiful woman and you are happy, or you meet a beautiful man and you are happy. But sitting silently in your room and being so blissful, so blessed out? You must be crazy or something! People will suspect that you are on a drug, stoned.

Yes, meditation is the ultimate LSD! It is releasing your own psychedelic powers. It is releasing your own imprisoned splendor. And you become so joyous, such a celebration arises in your being, that you need not have any relationship. Still you can relate with people… and that’s the difference between relating and relationship.

Relationship is a thing: You cling to it. Relating is a flow, a movement, a process. You meet a person, you are loving because you have so much love to give – and the more you give, the more you have. Once you have understood this strange arithmetic of love – that the more you give, the more you have…This is just against the economic laws that operate in the outside world. Once you have known that, if you want to have more love and joy, you give and share, then you simply share. And whosoever allows you to share your joy with him or with her, you feel grateful to him or her. But it is not relationship; it is a riverlike flow.

The river passes by the side of a tree, saying hello, nourishing the tree, giving water to the tree….and it moves on, and dances on. It does not cling to the tree. And the tree does not say. “Where are you going ? We are married! And before you can leave me you will need a divorce – atleast a separation! Where are you going? And if you were going to leave me, why did you dance so beautifully around me? Why did you nourish me in the first place?” No, the tree showers its flowers onto the river in deep gratefulness, and the river moves on. The wind comes and dances around the tree and moves on. And the tree gives its fragrance to the wind.

This is relating. If the humanity is ever going to become grown up, mature, this will be the way of love: people meeting, sharing, moving, a non possessive quality, non dominating quality. Otherwise love becomes a power trip.

Alexander the Great

Over the centuries, soldiers had been dying in wars away from their homes. At first it was Gold then it became dollars and still we are killing each other for property, money, power, position and nations. How much more soldiers meet to sacrifice over political issues of borders and supremacy. When we will learn from our mistakes. When we will learn why History subject is taught to us in schools. When will we understand that love is above all?

It is said about Alexander the Great that the day he became the world conqueror, he closed the doors of his room and started weeping. His generals were very disturbed:

What had happened? They had never seen Alexander weeping. He was not that type of man; he was a great warrior. They had seen him in great difficulties, in situations where life was very much in danger, where death was very imminent, and they had not seen even a tear coming out of his eyes. They had never seen him in desperate, hopeless moment. What has happened to him now….when he has succeeded, when he is the world conqueror?

They knocked the door, they went in, and asked, “What has happened to you? Why are you crying like a child?”

Alexander said, “Now that I have succeeded, I know it has been a failure. Now I know that I stand exactly at the same place as I used to be when I started this nonsense of conquering the world. And the point has become clear to me now because there is no other world to conquer; otherwise, I could have remained on the journey, I could have started conquering another world. Now there is no other world to conquer, now there is nothing else to do – and suddenly I am thrown to myself.”

Instead of conquering the outer world we should focus on conquering our inner world. The heaven lies in our heart. Heaven is no other geographical place, it is our heart filled with pure love.

FLIGHT OF AN EAGLE

I am an Eagle. I am sitting on a very high cliff. I jumped from the cliff’s edge. I am flying. I love flying high. I believe that I am born to fly higher and higher. I like to do experiments in flying. I can fly for hours and hours. I love to dive in air. I love to float in air. I love to enjoy freedom. In air, I am free from worries, hunger, tension and I enjoy each moment in air because I feel like God. I don’t think. I just feel that I am air. There is no difference between me and air. I just let myself go with the air. I am free from fear of dying. I love myself and I am in peace with the universe. I know that I am a limitless being. I believe that I can reach anywhere on the earth and in sky. No place is beyond my reach. I have all the power within me. I believe my intuition is greater than my intellect. I am always in commune with the winds and the sun – the two most powerful forces of nature. They guide me with my flight.

For me flying is meditation and I become more closure to God while flying. However, I love my life but when I see below. I find a different world of humans. I want to know more about them, so that I can learn more about them. I have this desire of being human.

However, I believe in living in present moment rather than thinking present moment rather than thinking about future. My life deals only in present. There is no past and no future in my life. There is only “Present”. ‘Present’ is a gift that’s why it is called present. Every day is a new day and again I am going to fly.

Find Your Happiness

GOING WITH THE FLOW MAKES YOU FEEL HAPPY. And you cannot allow happiness. Happiness has become associated’ with guilt. Go back,  to your childhood – you will find causes there. Just remember, go backwards; try to find out when it happened.

A small child knows nothing of guilt; he is wild and primitive. That’s why to see a small child is such a joy. He is as yet uncrippled, he is as yet uncivilized. He has not been introduced to the disease called civilization – that’s why he has so much energy, so much flow. The child is streaming, vibrating; he is a great dynamo; he is all dance. He cannot contain himself – he has so much that he is overflowing.

You cannot make a child sit silently. Why? Because the energy is so much, uncontainable.

The child wants to enjoy everything, and the parents are guilt-ridden. The child wants to shout

and he enjoys shouting; that is his expression, that is his creativity. That shout, if helped and not

destroyed, will become his song – that is the beginning of the song. But we stop him. We say, ”Don’t shout! This is ugly, this is bad, this is unmannerly. This is not done in the society. You belong to a famous family, you belong to a great, respectable family – you should not do this. This is okay for the urchins, but not for you. You represent us: look how serious we are. We never shout – and you are shouting?”

And the child was enjoying the shouting so much. In fact, when you stop him shouting you have

condemned his joy – that’s what he will understand deep down, existentially. What will happen to him? He cannot understand why shouting is wrong; he has as yet no mind to understand that kind of rubbishness. He was enjoying – that he understands; that shouting brings such joy, such flow. He feels so high, he feels so turned on. Just by shouting, his energy starts moving, he becomes a riverlike flow, he becomes a roaring phenomenon, a tidal wave.

Now you say, ”Don’t shout – this is bad.” What are you saying actually? How will the child translate it? The child will think, ”My joy is not accepted.” The child does not want to go to sleep; he is feeling so alive and you force him and you drag him to the bed. He is trying to get away from you and he is saying, ”I am NOT feeling like sleep. I DON’T want to go to sleep. I want to play a little more!” But you don’t listen. You say, ”It is time and you have to go to sleep.”

Now what are you doing to the child? You are rejecting – you are rejecting his instinctive

understandings. He does not feel like going to sleep right now – how can he be made to sleep?

There is no way! You can force him; he will lie there underneath the blanket and will weep and cry and will feel rejected, will feel unaccepted by the family, will feel guilty about why he cannot go to sleep when the mother wants him to. Now, what can he do? The sleep is not coming. And in the morning when he is feeling sleepy, you drag him out and you say, ”Get out! It is time to get up.” And he wants to sleep a little more.

Now you interfere – wherever he feels joy, you interfere. Naturally, you make him feel again and

again that his joy is wrong. That gets deep into your bloodstream. That’s what has happened to you, . So whenever you are going with the flow it means something is wrong. You are feeling happy? you immediately hear

your mother’s voice: ”, what are you doing? Feeling happy? Betraying me? Betraying your

dad, betraying your family? Look how serious we are – and is it good to betray your mother? Look at what long faces we have – and what are you doing? flowing with the flow? going with the flow? Never has it happened in our family! And it should not happen. ”

You start feeling guilty. Just watch when you start feeling guilty, listen silently... you will find your

parental voices, your mother, your father, your teacher, saying, ”This is not right.”

While you make love to a man, you will feel guilty, because your mother has told you that this is

wrong, this is the greatest sin. When you start making love to a man, something in you feels it is not right – -the mother is standing there, the father is standing there, and it looks so embarrassing with the parents standing... and you are making love to a man?! What are you doing? Stop it! You may not stop, but you will not go totally into it – which is far worse than stopping. It is better to stop! You cannot stop either, because then your whole nature feels discontented. And you cannot go totally in it because your mind says this is wrong. So you go half-heartedly, half way, and you exist in a limbo.

You never go to the totality of it – SO YOU NEVER FEEL SATISFIED. Out of it you only gather more frustration; you again find you have failed once more, that’s all. It has not happened this time again. And you start wondering whether this orgasm is just an invention, whether some masochistic people have invented it, or some sadistic people have invented it, just to make people feel tortured – because it is not happening to me!

You will be surprised: this is the first century after at least five thousand years that a few women

are feeling orgasm. For five thousand years, women have NOT felt orgasm. That too is happening only in the Western hemisphere. I have not come across a single Indian woman who feels orgasm – she has not even heard about the word. In Indian languages we don’t have any word for orgasm – because the thing has not existed so the word was never needed. Even in the West, only ten, twelve percent of women are feeling orgasm. This is ugly! and what to say about men? Do you think men feel orgasm? Ejaculation is not orgasm. Orgasm

is a very very different phenomenon. So man can deceive himself easily because he can feel

ejaculation, so he thinks he has orgasm – that is not so. Ejaculation is a very local phenomenon,

Orgasm is ecstasy. Orgasm is getting lost into timelessness. Orgasm is when your whole body

vibrates with some unknown energy that you have never come across. Orgasm is when you are

very close to God. The word orgasm comes from ORGIA – it was a religious ceremony, a pagan ceremony, when people became ecstatic, so ecstatic, that their whole body was full of divine energy, and they were bursting with energy, and they were lost in that energy – that was called ORGIA. It was a religious pagan ceremony; it was something like Tantra. It was Dionysian. The word ’orgasm’ comes from that ceremony. Men also rarely feel it. When your whole body throbs, not only your sexual organ but your whole body throbs, from toe to head you become a sexual orgasm, you become a sexual organ.... That is the symbol of Shiva; you must have seen in India the Shiva-linga. You may sometimes be wondering, ”Where are the eyes and where is the nose and where is the mouth and where are the legs? And what kind of image is this?”

This is the symbol of orgasm: when the whole body turns into a sexual organ. From eyes, mouth, body, mind – all disappear into sexuality, into sensuality, into a kind of immense sensitivity. That is the meaning of Shiva-linga. Orgasm has become impossible because you cannot go totally with the flow. And with orgasm becoming impossible, a thousand and one diseases have become prevalent in man. Wilhelm Reich is right that if we can bring orgasm back to humanity, almost ninety percent of mental diseases will IMMEDIATELY disappear – like dewdrops in the morning when the sun comes.

Ninety percent of mental diseases exist because man has forgotten how to be rejuvenated with

God, how to fall into divine energy, and come back again resurrected. Those blocked energies are creating problems. But now... first the priest created the guilt, now the psychoanalyst is against Wilhelm Reich – because, the psychoanalyst, where will he go if ninety percent of mental diseases disappear? If Reich is right, then what about the Freudians and the Adlerians and the Jungians and others – what will happen to them? Reich was condemned as mad, was forced into imprisonment – and he was one of the greatest geniuses of this age, who had a real insight. But this is what we always do: we crucify! He died condemned as a madman in a prison.

Man has not changed much Two thousand years have passed, but we go on doing the same as

w e did with Jesus. Now, this man was releasing a very very significant truth – that man’s mental illnesses will continue and will go on becoming bigger and bigger, and soon it will be impossible to treat man. Out of four, three persons are already abnormal, and the fourth is just on the way, any moment.... This is not a good situation!

Reich is right that something has to be done. First the priest was involved, now the modern priest is the psychoanalyst. First the priest had the investment in making people feel guilty; he created guilt. Because of guilt, he stopped people’s being orgasmic. And now the psychoanalyst is enjoying the results – his profession is flourishing like anything. His is the most needed profession, and the most respected.

Physicians are no more needed as much as the psychoanalyst is needed, because the body is

getting better and better every day and mind is getting worse and worse every day. Guilt has created human pathology. In the future, the priest is not needed, neither is the psychoanalyst needed. Both those professions are anti-human; they should go. But they can go only if man is freed of guilt, otherwise they cannot go.

So, , even if you feel guilty, go with the flow. Ignore the guilt. Let the guilt be there; in spite of

it, go with the flow! The more you go with the flow, the more you will become able to catch yourself and avoid getting caught into the trap of guilt you will be able to catch yourself in time. You will be able to slip out of that guilt prison.

One has to get out of it, otherwise life will be a long, sad, meaningless anguish

Seriousness vs Playfullness

http://freegiftsforyou.in/

THERE CANNOT BE ANY MAP TO THE LAND OF PLAYFULNESS. All maps lead to

seriousness. Playfulness is when all maps have been burnt down. There is no way to playfulness, because playfulness is not a goal and cannot be a goal. When you forget about goals, when you are not going anywhere, when the very idea of going is dropped, then herenow playfulness starts growing in you, happening in you.

Playfulness is not then and there: it is herenow. So how can there be a road-map? You are not to go: you are just to be.

Seriousness is goal-oriented. And even when a serious person starts playing, he transforms the

quality of the play – it becomes a game; it is no more play. That is the difference between a game and a play. When a play becomes serious, it becomes a game. People go to see wrestling, people go to see bull-fights or American football – ugly, violent, inhuman. The people who are going to see these things are immature, a little perverted too. The spectators are as ungrown as the gladiators. And both are in some way catharting; in the name of the game,

they are throwing their rubbish, they are simply vomiting their violence. This is a very violent, violent world! That’s why love cannot exist here. When human beings will really be human beings, things like bullfighting and wrestling will be unheard of, they will become part of history. Just to imagine that thousands of people have come to see a bullfight looks so ugly, disgusting. But people are serious. They change the play also into seriousness. A play is something in which a goal is not at all concerned. The very being together is beautiful! for the sheer joy of it! In a better world, with more understanding, games will disappear – there will only be plays. There will be nobody as a winner, nobody as the defeated – because the very idea of defeating and winning is inhuman. There is no NEED for it! Why can’t we enjoy the sheer togetherness? There should be no counting, no marking. There should not be any result out of it. If you are in love with playing football, play football! Just play it! Don’t look for the result. If the result comes in, you become serious, the play is destroyed; it has become almost businesslike. Enjoy the

sheer outpour of energy. Enjoy the moment – don’t sacrifice it for anything else.

That’s what LEELA IS, playfulness is. But you are in love and it becomes serious, and you start

thinking of marriage and you start thinking of having children and you start thinking of having a

family – and the whole thing has gone ugly! If these things happen, let them happen as by-products, not as results. Yes, if you love a woman, you would like to be with her – this is marriage! There should be no other marriage. There should not even be the idea, because the VERY idea makes things down-to-earth; the poetry is destroyed. It becomes mundane; the romance is destroyed. But the moment you are in love, immediately your mind starts weaving and spinning... about family, how to have a family of one’s own. Why should you need ’a family of one’s own’? People possess things and people possess people too. If you possess things, it can be forgiven, but how can it be forgiven when you start possessing people? You say ’my wife’, ’my husband’, ’my child’ – what have you DONE to call this child yours? Who are you? How do you come in? Can you create a child? Can you create the child according to your own desire? A child comes from the unknown, is a gift. You are not the creator, how can you be the possessor? It IS NOT according to you that the child takes shape and form and being. You were longing for a beautiful child and you are hit with a lulu and still you call it ’my child’. You have been just a passage in the great play of existence.

Just as there are liberation movements, women’s lib movement, so a new movement should

be mounted: children’s liberation movement. Nobody should be allowed to possess children.

Possessiveness should not be allowed! Nobody should say ’my child’. All children are of God.

You can only be a caretaker, not more than that. And you should be grateful that you have been

chosen to be a caretaker of a new life evolving. That is more than enough! Enjoy the game of it! Of being a caretaker of an evolving life, but don’t start possessing.

But our mind is possessive. The possessiveness has gone to the very roots, and that has been the greatest hindrance in human growth.

When love is possessive it becomes exclusive. Then ’this woman is mine, and exclusively mine!’ – then she cannot laugh with anybody else, then she cannot hold hands with anybody else, then she cannot look into the eyes of somebody else. What nonsense! Why? Who am I to possess? And how can love be possessive?

Love is always inclusive; it can never be exclusive. If I love the woman, I will love to see her happy in a thousand and one ways, with a thousand and one people. I would like her to be happy. That will be my joy. If she is happy dancing with somebody, I should not feel jealous – I love her! How can I feel jealous? I should be thrilled that she is happy. But when you claim that she is your wife, then you cannot allow this. You start crippling her. She starts paralyzing you in revenge. You both become destructive to each other.

Love is the greatest creative energy, but up to now it has been a misfortune, the greatest misfortune. People have not been killed because of hatred: people have been killed because of love. Life has become so bitter, not because of anger: it has become so bitter because of love.

You fight for the love of a woman or a man; you fight for the love of your family or clan. You fight for the love of your ideology or religion; you fight for the love of your mother-country or father-country, father-land, motherland. You go on fighting for your love! All murders, all killings – all kinds of sufferings exist because of your so-called love.

Something is basically wrong with your love – your love is a fixated love; it is not a flowing play. It is serious, it is exclusive, it is possessive. It is full of stupidity.

One should be able to see all this – and just SEEING it, you start relaxing. You see the point of it and you start relaxing, and a new awareness arises in you.

Just.... I am surprised when I come across a man whose wife has died – and he is still crying and in anguish: his beloved has died. Why be so monopolistic? There are so many beautiful women still alive! This makes no sense. Your husband has died and for your whole life you will remain in a nightmare – because you cannot love anybody else? Your love is so tiny? so fixated? it was a kind of obsession? It was neurotic, it was not healthy. Otherwise, when the husband is dead, yes, there will be sadness, but you will say goodbye and you will move. You will not sacrifice your life – because sacrificing your life is dangerous. If you sacrifice your life and you become a martyr, you will take revenge on life; you will create guilt in your children, you will create guilt all around. And you WILL suffer! And when a person suffers, he creates vibes of suffering all around. No, this makes no sense! The world is full of so many people, why should you be so fixated? But the fixation comes from the very beginning: the moment a child says ’my mother’, and the mother feels very happy, the fixation has started. Now the child will remain obsessed his whole life. And when the child is small, he is naturally dependent on the mother – and mothers and fathers have exploited that dependence immensely. He is helpless, he cannot survive on his or her own; he HAS to look up to the mother and the father. His helplessness is exploited. He knows if the mother is gone, he will be dead. If the mother is no more available, he will be dead, he will not be able to survive. This idea goes on and on getting deeper and deeper.... And the mother helps it, because the mother enjoys the ego trip that ”You cannot survive without me.” She threatens manytimes, ”Listen to me, otherwise I will leave and go forever, or I will die – and THEN YOU will know!” And the child is shaken to the very roots – he cannot survive without the mother. This becomes, by and by, a conditioning. Later on it will be reflected in all his relationships. He will think the same about his wife: if the wife is no more, he will not be able to survive. This will become unconscious. He will think the same again and again about everything: ”If this job is gone, then I am finished. If this house is no more with me, then where will I be? If this bank balance is no more with me, then where will I be?” His whole life he will think in terms of fixation, and his whole life will be a long long, unnecessary suffering. He is no more a child, but he remains childish because of the conditioning.

Love, and immediately you turn it into bitterness because you become serious about it. You start thinking of the future. Think of the future – marriage, children, security – and you have destroyed

the play and it has become a game, and a very dangerous game. And you will be a loser – nobody is ever a winner. With play, everybody is a winner. With seriousness, nobody is ever a winner – all are losers. You come to meditate here and you become serious about it. And I go on insisting: Don’t become serious. Meditation can happen only in playfulness, in utter playfulness, when you are not searching and seeking for anything, when you are simply dancing or singing or chanting; when you are not asking, when the activity is all and all in itself, no future is provoked, no future is involved in it... then it happens. Meditation is a happening. You cannot snatch it from God’s hands. You cannot desire it and you cannot have it. You can only do one thing: you can become an empty receiving end – and that’s what happens when you are playful.

Meditation is fun! Even the word looks absurd with meditation – meditation and fun? Down the ages, you have been taught that this is the seriousmost thing: go into the church and become serious – even if you don’t have one, create a long face, then you will look as if you are in the church. Don’t laugh, don’t dance, don’t be playful! – it is a serious affair. You are facing God.

This God seems to be somehow very strange! He cannot allow laughter, He cannot allow dance, He cannot allow love, He cannot allow joy. The Gods of the past were very revengeful, jealous Gods, violent Gods; ready to crush you and destroy you, ready to throw you into hell-fire. Even the idea of God was ugly.

Here with me, you will have to learn a new language: meditation is fun, prayer is love and laughter; and the temple, the church, the mosque, is the place to enjoy, the place to be drunk with life; the place to dance and hold hands, the place to share what God has given to you, the place to be absorbed utterly into the moment. That is the meaning of fun, that is the meaning of laughter, that is the meaning of joy: to be utterly absorbed in the moment as if no other moment exists. So how can you ask for a result? Result needs another moment in the future.

Become like small children – dancing, singing, shouting – and God will come to you unawares.

Suddenly one moment, you will find He is surrounding you; suddenly you will find you are not

holding the hands of a woman – God is holding your hands; you are not holding the hands of a man – it is God. Looking into the eyes of the other, playfully, joyously, suddenly you will fall into a depth unknown to you, unknown to your mind. You will start disappearing into a deep abyss. That’s what God is! God is not in the scriptures – it is in the eyes of people, and in the flowers and in the rivers and in the moons. God is written all over the place! Don’t go to the scriptures. And if you cannot find God in alive trees, green and red and gold, if you cannot find God there, you will not find Him in the Bible, the Koran and the Vedas. How can you find Him there if you cannot find Him here? Once you have found it here, you will find it anywhere... then He is everywhere. Once found, God is everywhere – but you will have to find Him in life, in playfulness. Playfulness makes you alive to the maximum. Seriousness cripples you. You become shrunken, frozen. You become closed, you become isolated. You become egoistic. That’s why seriousness has been so much cherished by people because seriousness gives you the ego, and playfulness takes the ego away.

LAW OF REFLECTION

Whatever we get in life is a result of Law of Reflection.

Law of reflection works on the thoughts we release into the universe. Whatever thought we release in universe will be reflected back to us. Suppose we want to have a car. We have to release the thought of having a car. This thought will depend upon how much you love that particular car. The next thought that now comes in your mind is how to get that car. Say, for example, you will fix the price of the car you want. Then, another thought that will enter your mind is that how you will be paying for that car. And finally your whole excitement gets killed because you feel that you don’t have so much money to buy that car and car doesn't come to you.

This is the main problem. We don’t know what we are doing un consciously. When we release one thought of having a car, we should stick to that thought. We should not go in details of how to own the car. Our job is to bounce the thought in universe and our next job is to feel that our thought will bounce back to us in form of car we wanted. We have to be very specific in not releasing the thought of how to obtain that car. Suppose, our next thought is that how we will pay for the car. Then, we will get thought of paying by cash or loan. Then approach bank for loan or cash to pay for delivery of the car.

But if I tell you that you can get the car without paying from your packet then, what you think.

Is it possible?

99% people will say that it is a foolish thought. But 1% people will say “yes” and will do what I will tell them to do.

Do -

1.       Before going to sleep or just after getting up in the morning go to a natural place. For example a mountain, hill, sea beach, orchard, grassland, city park, river or your terrace.

2.       Shout loudly 3 times with full energy and feelings of already having your dream car.

3.       Try to keep your sentence of just 3 words like:

I own Ferrari.

I own Duster.

I own Mercedes.

I own Beetle.

I own Bentley.

4.       Repeat a particular sentence thrice with your hands open.

5.       Shout as if you are thanking the universe that what you wanted since long had been delivered to you.

6.       Thank universe for the joy you are having with this brand new car.

7.       Feel yourself as an owner of that car.

8.       Whenever you see that car on road feels happy that you owe that car.

9.       Write gratitude in your diary of having the car.

10.   Discuss among friends about the features of the car.

11.   Take a cutting of that car and paste it with your own photo on the door of your room.

12.   Everyday write THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU on the cutting of the car.

13.   Ask your friend who own that car to take you for a ride.

14.   Go to the showroom of the car and a test drive.

15.   Even when you are travelling in bus, taxi or bike feel that you are in your dream car.

Just do this every time you think about owning a car.

I promise that the car of your dreams will be delivered to you very soon.

Your BLIND FAITH and THANKFULNESS to the universe will bring you the car of your dreams.

Asking thrice from universe is important. You are arrowing your thoughts thrice in universe and universe will deliver you the same. 3 is the number of creation. So saying 3 times involves the creation process to begin.

The Law of Reflection always works. Whatever you release the universe will reflect back to you. It’s like a huge plate hanging in the atmosphere. Any thought which strikes the plate is reflected back. The more intensely a thought is ejected in universe the faster will be the result. It’s all about your communication with the universe.

A person who does meditation and affirmations daily get the rewards early and always. Be in 1% population which has everything with them rather than in 99% population. So, bounce your thoughts now.

The universe is ready to reflect it back.

NEW ALWAYS CREATES GREAT FEAR

Sometimes it will be frightening, scary, because you will be going into spaces you are not acquainted with. You will be moving beyond yourself. You will be entering into the unknown. And the unknown is always frightening. The new always creates great fear. With the old, one feels perfectly comfortable.

The old always feels cozy, snug. With the new, you have to learn again. With the new you have to become a child again. The new happens only to those who are ready to become children again and again and again – because the old knowledge, the old experience, the old life, will have no meaning in the new. It will be irrelevant. You will suddenly feel ignorant facing the unknown. Hence the fear! Hence the clinging to the past. Remember: the journey to truth is a journey from the old to the new, from the known to the unknown, from the closed to the open. And I can happen to you only in the pauses.

Words are used to create the pauses – not vice versa. I am saying things and talking to you just

to give you an experience of silence. Those pauses are the most significant thing that is being

delivered to you, being transferred to you. Be available in those pauses.

They will tear you apart. They will destroy you. That’s why I say I have come to destroy, not to fulfill. But remember: the ONLY way to fulfillment is through destruction. If you are destroyed utterly, only then will you be utterly new. Through crucifixion is resurrection. Let me first become your crucifixion. Let me first become your cross. And then the second thing follows naturally... nothing has to be done about it. To die is to be reborn. Die in those pauses, in those silences, in those gaps! In those gaps, MY meditativeness is flowing towards you – receive it. Receive it with great joy. Receive it as you would receive a guest, a cherished guest. Open the doors of your heart. And, yes, there will be great chaos with it – I will bring chaos in you – but that is the only way stars are born: out of chaos. I will bring great upheavals in your being, I will uproot you from where you are, because that is the only way to transform, to transplant you onto higher plenitudes of being.

And there are higher and higher plenitudes, there is no end to it. This is an eternal pilgrimage.

I know fear is natural! But don’t get caught by it. Leave it aside. Move in spite of it.

Always remember: the difference between a courageous man and a coward is not that the

courageous man has no fear and the coward has fear – no. That is not the difference. BOTH have fear! in the SAME proportion. Then where is the difference? The difference is that the courageous man goes in spite of the fear, and the coward stops because of the fear. Both have fears! If you can find a courageous man who has no fear, then how will you call him courageous? He will be a machine, not a man. Only machines don’t have fear. But you don’t call machines courageous. How can you call a machine courageous? Courage simply means that something is happening in spite of the fear. The fear is there, the trembling is there, but it is not stopping you, you are not being blocked by it. You use it as a stepping-stone. Shaking, trembling, but still you go into the unknown.

To be a sannyasin is to choose courage.

Both possibilities exist in every human being! fear and courage. All will depend on which you choose between the two. Never choose fear. It cripples. It paralyzes. It destroys you without giving you a chance of resurrection. Courage will ALSO destroy you, but that destruction is very creative – it will give you rebirth.

Fear and courage, both destroy – but fear simply destroys. The seed simply goes rotten. When you sow the seed of courage in the soil, then too it dies – but it doesn’t go rotten. It dies... it dies into a new phenomenon. A sprout comes up.

Courage will kill you as much as fear, but fear will simply kill you without giving you a new life.

Courage will give you a new life. Choose courage – always choose courage. Arduous it is, but it is adventurous too. Difficult it is, uncomfortable, inconvenient it is, but it brings

great ecstasies too. One has to pay the price for those ecstasies.
