big as god himself
Because you are pure consciousness.
Pure consciousness is another name for god.
But we cling to narrow limits
We cling to our prison cells.
We think that these walls that surround us
Are very secure.
Outside the walls there seems to be insecurity
So we don't go out, we remain in our black holes.
Small black holes...
That's what our life has become.
And we go on crawling and fighting
And quarrelling with each other for small things
While the infinite waits to receive us.
God waits to welcome us.
He is ready to take you into his very heart.
But you don't listen to the message of the vast
Of the oceanic
You remain with your small holes
Clinging out of fear
Afraid of insecurity and safety
And believing that these are not prison cells
That these are beautiful palaces.
And you have decorated the walls.
You have painted the walls
You have made it a little bit comfortable there.
But howsoever comfortable it is
A prison is a prison.
It may even be luxurious
But a prison is a prison.
One has to know the unlimited sky
Only then does one know what truth is.
Everybody is born only semi-precious.
But by becoming a sannyasin
You are moving towards becoming really precious!
Just a few things which have gathered
Around the real jewel will have to be dropped.
They are clinging to the real jewel
And we think that they are part of it.
They are not part of it; they may be just mud.
They may have been with the jewel for centuries
They have become almost a part of it.
My work here is to make you aware
Of what is real in you and what is unreal in you
What is essential in you
And what is accidental in you.
Once you are aware
Of the essential and the non-essential
Then the non-essential can be dropped easily.
There is no problem.
In fact the moment you know
That it is non-essential
It drops of its own accord.
