more and more silent;
Less and less noisy so that you can hear
The whisper of god within you.
That's the beginning of a new life
Of a life that is eternal.
It is tenderness that makes you vulnerable
That makes you open, that makes you sensitive
To the mysterious that surrounds us.
People who are not tender
Who are hard like rock, go on missing life.
Life passes by: it cannot penetrate them
They are impenetrable.
One should be like a rose flower, very tender:
The one comes to know
The mysterious and the miraculous.
Life is full of surprises
But only for those who have a tender heart.
But we all have been brought up in such a way
That we become hard, because we have been told
That life is a struggle, it is a conflict
It is a constant struggle for survival
So one has to be hard.
If you are not hard you will not be able to compete.
And that is true: You will not be able to compete
But competition leads nowhere.
It is a sheer wastage.
One should live a non-competitive life
Then only does one know what god is.
Jesus says:
Those who are the last in this world
Will be the first in my kingdom of god.
Now he is teaching non-competitiveness:
Those who are the last in this world
Will be the first in my kingdom of god.
But remember
Don't be the last in order to be the first
Otherwise you miss the whole point.
Enjoy being the last.
And to be the first in the kingdom of god
Is a consequence, it is not a goal.
Life is such a joy for those who are tender
Soft, loving, compassionate, sensitive.
That life itself is proof
In thousands of ways it proves that god is.
But to the hard, to the rocklike person,
There is no proof for god.
God cannot be proved for him
Because he has no sensitivity to feel.
He has lost all feeling
He lives only in the thinking.
He has lost his heart, he is just a head.
And the head is just rubbish!
