or spiritual. People are just here, enjoying. As trees are enjoying and stars are enjoying, people are also enjoying. Be absolutely ordinary.
These ideas of awareness and this and that, are also ego trips. So no more ego trips. I would like this community just to be a community which is very ordinary, simple, natural, and enjoyable -- a hedonistic community. Let this be a garden of epicurus... and then everything will happen on its own accord.
When you are not in your own way, things happen. When you are in your own way, things don't happen. The more you try to do, the less is possible.

Then you get something of tremendous value.
If you ask the question, of course I will answer it, but that is not so important. You miss the most valuable chance -- that was just being close to me, open, receptive. And in that moment, all questions disappear. There is only silence -- and silence is the answer.
So it is absolutely the right thing. By and by it is going to happen to everybody. One day it is bound to be so. You will simply sit here, and I will sit here, and nobody will ask anything, because everybody will be receiving the answer without asking.
When you ask a question, you are a student and I have to become a teacher. When you don't ask the question, you are a disciple and then I am the master. Do you see the difference? When you ask the question, I have to teach something. When you don't ask the question, I have nothing to teach. Then only I am there and you are there,
