know that now nothing is there, but out of security, finance, this and that -- and there are a thousand and one things which have to be considered.... For those considerations people go on clinging -- prestige, society, what people will say. My people are becoming more true, so when they see that it is no more there, they simply say 'It is no more there so it is better that we should part.'
This is far more compassionate, because they are not deceiving each other and they are making the other free again. Otherwise, in that deception you will not be free and you will not be able to find another friend again. You will be carrying a corpse. And it will stink! Remember: love is very very fragrant when it is alive, and when it dies, then just the other extreme happens: it stinks, as bad as anything can. It is really foul! It moves from one extreme to the other extreme.
It is good to be honest, and you have to understand it, because love is a contract between two people. Love needs two people to agree; divorce needs only one person to disagree. So if one person is not agreeing any more, then there is no need to waste your time.
Just get out of it. If you are thinking to go to the West for a few weeks, go, mm? -- it will help you to get out. If you can get out here, get out here, but if you feel like going you can go and then come back.
Hallelujah!

It is not a journey, it is already the case: we are in god, god is in us. And god is not a person -- you cannot worship him; there is nobody to be worshipped. The worshipper is the worshipped. The arrow has to turn inwards.
We are focussed outwards, so god has fallen in the shadow,
