no plan, no pattern, no expectation.
Today is enough; don't plan for tomorrow, or even for the next moment. Today ends, and then tomorrow comes fresh and innocent, and opens with no manipulator. It opens of its own accord, and without the past. This is grace.
Watch a flower opening in the morning. Just go on watching... that is grace. There is no effort at all -- it just moves according to nature. Or watch a cat awakening -- effortlessly, with a tremendous grace surrounding it. The whole of nature is full of grace, but man has lost the capacity to be graceful because of division.
So just move, and let the moment decide, don't try to manage it. This is what I call let-go -- and everything happens out of it. So give it a chance!
[A sannyasin says: But the thing that I'm experiencing with Nirakar (her lover) is like meditation but stronger than any time I've done meditation.
I feel I'm losing myself and I feel helpless, wondering if I have to do anything.]
No, there is nothing one can do, nor is there any need to do anything. The only thing to remember is to allow, and that is more like non-doing than doing. All that is beautiful happens and cannot be done, but you have to allow it to happen, because you can prevent it.
All doing is, in a certain way, creating barriers. For reality to happen there is no need to do anything. You were born, yet you didn't do anything for it. Such a tremendous phenomenon like birth has happened -- without any doing on your part. You grew up -- yet you have done nothing; rather, growth happened.
Now you have fallen in love, but have you done anything? That's why we use the expression 'falling in love', because you cannot do it, you simply fall You can resist, you can manage not to fall. You can become stubborn, hard and rigid, and then you will not fall in love. But when you fall in love you do nothing. You simply allow yourself to be possessed, to be taken over. Birth happens, growth happens, love happens, and one day death will happen. All this just happens, and you cannot do anything about it.
Simply cooperate with the process that is going on. For example, you are in love
