And this is the greatest block -- that you want to improve, you want to become better, and you want to become more powerful. Drop all this!
In the name of spirituality much nonsense goes on. In the name of spirituality there is hidden politics, and the ego continues in subtle ways.
What I am saying is very simple, and yet very difficult. Simple, if you understand it directly -- difficult if you start thinking about it, if you start brooding on it. What I am saying is so simple that if you listen rightly and you don t bring your ideas to interfere in it, you can become enlightened this very moment! Because enlighten-ment is not something that you have to achieve somewhere in the future. It is just a lightning, a sudden lightning... just a vision that, yes, this is so!
Can't you see the point? The point is simple! Intellectually it is not simple; existentially it is very simple. The point is that you stop all efforts to improve yourself and simply say, 'This is how I am -- sometimes very sincere, and sometimes very cunning, and sometimes tike a child, and sometimes like a devil -- this is how I am.'
And I am not saying that you brag about it, because why brag? When you say that you are both there is nothing to brag about. You simply open your heart -- 'This is how I am.' Tell to your friends, your lovers, your students, that's the way you are and start being yourself with no idea of any improvement. One year you give to me. One year be just the way you are. And whatsoever happens, let it happen! What can you lose? What have you got to lose?
One year simply be whatsoever is. If you are contradictory, be contradictory. Be true moment to moment -- don't worry about being consistent, because our devotion should be towards truth, not towards consistency. If you are consistent, you become a liar, mm? Because you say to a woman that you love, you love her tremendously, and you will love her your whole life -- but remained her that this is the moment's assertion... this moment this is how you feel. If this moment is going to be your last moment, then there is no problem. But the next moment is coming; you don't know -- nobody knows -- how
