-- it is ambitious!
Each human being is born with a great ambition: the ambition is to flower in love, to bloom in love. So I see each human being as a possibility, as a potentiality, as a promise. Something that has not happened has yet to happen, and unless it happens there can be no contentment, no peace; there will be agony, suffering, misery. Only when you have come to a blooming where you feel that now you are fulfilled -- that now you have become that for which you were born, that you have attained your destiny, that now there is nothing any more -- only when ambition completely disappears because it is fulfilled, is a person in bliss, never before... and then a person is in god.
So when your love flowers you become part of god. Otherwise there is a separation, a gulf, and it can be bridged only through love: only the rainbow of love can become the bridge to it.

Right... very good! To understand rubbish as rubbish is something very valuable -- then you can drop it very easily. And if a question is felt as rubbish, you have come to the answer.
Ninety-nine questions out of a hundred are rubbish, and because of these ninety-nine questions you cannot even manage to ask the really valuable question. Because these ninety-nine clamour around you, shout, are very noisy, they don't allow the real question to arise in you. The real question has a very silent, still, small voice, and these unreal ones are great pretenders. Because of these you cannot ask the right question and you cannot find the right answer.
So to know rubbish as rubbish is a great insight. Then it starts slipping out of your hands -- because you cannot hold it long if you know it is rubbish. The very understanding that it is rubbish is enough for your hands to start becoming empty, and when your hands are empty of the rubbish, only the one, the real question, is left.
And the beauty of the real question is that if only the real question is left, the answer is not far away, it is just inside the question. The very centre
