behind it, and a mask, a dead mask, will remain the same. That's what husbands are doing, wives are doing. A dead mask, a face to show, a pretension, a hypocrisy. And inside the mask, everything is changing. And you carry the mask because you ask for assurance.
That is one of the most wrong questions to ask, mm? because that shows a very wrong attitude towards life....
Why bring these words in -- karmic patterns, karma, past? There is no need. That's again an effort of the mind to explain things which are not explainable, which don't come within any explanation.
For example, karmic.... You don't know what you are talking about -- what karmas? But in life you may find many things that you cannot explain. For example, you see a woman for the first time and you feel suddenly in love. Now the problem arises: where does this love come from? The mind raises a question because it is constantly trying to convert the unknown into the known; the unexplainable has to be reduced to some explanation. The mystery has to be dissolved and analysed, dissected. Maybe in dissection you kill it, but still the mind feels satisfied. Now you know that this is a karma relationship -- in the past you have been together, and now you have to fulfill the remaining karma. The mind is at ease. What have you done?
You have simply reduced something unknown. Falling in love is a mysterious phenomenon. It has nothing to do with karma... it has nothing to do with the past. It is happening right now, herenow! Why bring the past to explain it? What has the past to do with it?
Life is bumping into you, new every moment. But because of the tendency and the constant hankering of the mind to explain everything, you bring explanations which are all hocus-pocus abracadabra... magic formulas which explain nothing really, but give you a sense of assurance. Perfectly okay. So this [your woman is in your life because of karma. You are in her life because of karma, and you have to complete it, so carry on. Why destroy such beautiful life by such nonsense terms?
Can't you remain with the unknown? Can't you say 'I don't know but love is there'? Can't you say 'I am ignorant
