Let it be as it is. Simply remain in deep acceptance that whatsoever is, is good, and through that acceptance a transformation happens and a real mastery arises. Nobody is defeated and yet you are victorious. That is the real art.
Controlling, repressing, fighting is simply stupid. It leads nowhere. It only leads into neurosis, into schizophrenia -- beware of it. The very idea has to be dropped.
[A sannyasin who is leaving says: I know I love you so much but I don't feel it is very deep.]
Mm mm. I understand. Don't be worried these are the good signs of a deepening love.
It always happens: when you love much you will always feel that it is not deep enough. Only shallow lovers think that their love is very deep. The deeper you go, the shallower you will feel, because each new depth makes you aware of deeper realms that are ahead. The more you know, the less you know, because you become aware of the infinity. And that's how it happens in love.
Don't be worried at all. Your love is deepen-ing and it is going to deepen more and more. Don't make it a desire, because desire is always shallow. Forget all about it. It is already happening -- enjoy it, celebrate it!
[A sannyasin says: I feel sad about leaving.]
Think of coming back -- that will make you happy! Never think of going; always think of coming. Going is just a way to come back. (laughter) Feel happy: you will be back soon.
And distance sometimes creates great longing and great love, so it is not going to be a loss: you are going to be benefited by it.
Help my people there!
[A sannyasin says he wants to open his heart.]
It will open -- nothing to worry about. Just be here with no desire, not even the desire of opening the heart. Just be here with no motive, because every motive becomes a hindrance -- even the motive to open. Just be here and enjoy. Dance, sing, meditate and forget the whole world. For these few days that you will be here this is your whole world, and then the opening happens on its own. It is going to happen!
