may be very beautiful
And bay be utterly empty, with no soul at all.
This will happen many times in your life
You will come across beautiful people
Who have no souls at all
And you will come across people who are very homely
But have tremendous qualities.
Never be deceived by appearances.
Always look deeper, search deeper.
Look at the centre, not at the circumferences.
And the same is true about yourself too:
Don't be too concerned
About the circumference and its decorations.
Think of the centre
Of whether there is a centre or not.
If there is not then create it
Because to live without a centre
Is not to live at all.
Life begins only when a centre has arisen.
And not everybody has got a centre, remember.
A centre has to be created by tremendous effort.
That's what sannyas is all about.
Man is not mortal, he only appears to be.
The appearance is because of the body.
The body is born and one day dies.
Whatsoever begins ends
But there is something within you
Which never begins and never ends.
That's your reality, that's your being.
It is immortal.
There is no way for it to die.
It can't commit suicide.
Death does not exist for it
Just as darkness does not exist for light.
The moment you know yourself
You know that there is no death.
And in knowing it one is freed from all fear
One is freed from all agony, anguish, anxiety.
Knowing this one knows 'I am part of god.'
And that is the ultimate realisation.
Without it there is no fulfilment, no flowering.
Life remains empty.
Be as wide as god himself.
Believe in no limitations, in no boundaries
In no adjectives:
Christian, Hindu, Mohammedan
Jewish, Indian, Chinese, Japanese.
Drop all limitations.
Feel more and more just a pure consciousness
And your horizons will become wider and wider.
A moment comes when you are as big as god himself
Because you are pure consciousness.
Pure
