a false faith.
Nothing real can be gained and lost. It is gained and then it is.... Why, why this mystery? Because the real is really not an attainment; rather, it is a discovery. An attainment can be lost, but a discovery cannot be lost. It is something that was with you, without you knowing it -- now you know it. It was with you when you did not know it; it is with you when you know it. How can you lose it? No real state is ever lost. And no real state ever needs any maintenance on your part. It is maintained intrinsically, by swabhav: by your inner nature it is maintained.
And never try to maintain anything. Really just be a floating man, a floating mind. Don't maintain it. Just be a floating mind. Let everything come that comes, let everything go that goes. Never cling to it, never welcome it, never try to catch it; let it come and let it go; you be just at ease. The darkness comes: welcome. It goes: welcome. The light comes: welcome. It goes: welcome. Misery comes, happiness comes; everything comes and goes, you just be a witness and watch. And let them come and go. This letgo will make you attain to something that is not an attainment, but a discovery.
Truth is a discovery. It is neither invention... because invention can never be true. Invention means the untrue: you have invented it. The family is an invention; the husband is an invention; the wife is an invention. It is not there, you have invented it. All our relationships are an invention. Your wife becomes such a bondage; such a bondage because invented by man. Anything that you have not invented... Love is not an invention, but to be a husband is an invention. To be a lover is discovery; you have discovered something which has been there always.
So go on discovering yourself, what you are. Not in a cave... but in moment-to-moment communication, in moment-to-moment relationship: the inter-relationship. Go on seeing the trembling, watching...
