no name, no definition. God is indefinable, indescribable, inexpressible. Hence whatsoever has been said about god is all wrong. The moment it is said, it becomes wrong.
One can be right about god only if one remains silent. Utter a single word and you have missed the point. Nothing can be said about god, but god can be experienced. There is no proof, no logical certainty, but there is something existential. You have to move into a new space. It is a new space, it is a new life style, it is a new vision of the world. It is a new way of looking at things The whole remains the same, it is just that you start looking is a new way and immediately everything changes.
Sannyas is a new way of looking at things. It is a way of looking at things in such a way that slowly slowly god starts emerging from everywhere. Although he has no form, he starts expressing himself in all forms possible. Or you start feeling him in all forms.
In one sense no wave is the ocean; in another sense every wave is the ocean. In one sense no form is god; in another sense every form is divine.
Mind cannot know because mind can only catch hold of forms. To know the formless you will have to go beyond the mind, you will have to drop the mind at least for a few moments every day, so that you can be bathed with god. And those few moments are the real moments. These are the only moments that you have lived, all other moments will go down the drain; they will not be saved. Only those moments that you have lived with god, with the presence of god, are saved.
(To Donna) -- This is your new name: Ma Satori. Satori is a Japanese name; it means a state of no-mind.
Mind is only a mechanism, but it is so close that we have become identified with it. We have completely forgotten that we are separate. It is as if man was born sitting in a car... from the very beginning he is just sitting in a car, driving a car, and there is no time, no opportunity for him to get out of the car. Slowly slowly he will become identified with the car. Naturally, because he has no time, no opportunity to see the separation. That's exactly the case with the mind: we are born in it, with it,
