I am here, totally available... something can be done. So make that very clear in your mind, mm?
These people here are not social workers or social servants. These people are here for their absolutely selfish ends. And I teach them to be selfish, because to me that is the only way to be in the world. And if everybody is selfish, the world will be very very beautiful. These do-gooders are very dangerous people. They themselves are nowhere and they go on interfering in other people's lives.
My approach is very selfish. First, look at yourself. First let the light be there. First let love be there. First let some inner treasure be available there... and then you can share. How can you share something that you don't have? You want to be loving -- good! But do you have love? You would like to be compassionate, but do you have compassion?
Deep inside anger is boiling -- and people are trying to be compassionate. Deep down is violence -- and people are trying to be of service to others. Deep down is the murderer -- and they go on saying, 'Love your enemy.' And they kill! They say, 'We are killing you for your own sake!' They destroy -- but they destroy with a very good, happy, heart, because they are destroying you for your own good. They are sacrificing their life in destroying you... they are martyrs. I don't teach any martyrdom.
My approach is very simple, and my understanding is this -- that if everybody is selfish, the world will be very much better. If you can look into your own self, and you can look into your own happiness, if you can create a small pool of happiness within you, you will start vibrating, pulsating with happiness. Whomsoever will come in contact with you will have a little share of it, because whatsoever we are, we are constantly giving it. Life is a continuous give and take. It is a pulsation, just like breathing -- you breathe in, you breathe out.
If you are happy, happiness goes out, happiness comes in. If you are celebrating, your breathing becomes a celebration. You touch somebody's hand and you have transformed that man's being -- at least for a moment; you have given him a glimpse, a taste. And of course
