the bright one, the lightful, the luminous. Bliss is luminous. You cannot hide it. It expresses, manifests itself, in a thousand and one ways. It sings, it dances, it creates.
The blissful person cannot be lost in the crowd. You can see and find him amidst thousands, because he has a totally different vibe. When others are just dark, he is full of light. He is a lamp unto himself. His heart is no more empty: the flame from the beyond has descended into him.
Let it not only be your name, make it your existence. It simply indicates your potentiality, everybody's potentiality. There is no need to live in darkness. Everybody is born to live in light as light, and we have to claim our right.
[A sannyasin who is leaving says he feels restless but can't say why.]
Mm mm. It will be good if you can come back, mm? -- because you need some work. It is good to work now so that this restlessness can be finished.
Restlessness is just energy which is boiling within, and you have not yet been able to find the right creative channelization for it. Restlessness is only symptomatic. It simply shows that there is unused energy. All that you need is a creative direction.
So just come and be here longer, mm? -- and soon your energy will find the right direction. And once the energy starts moving in the right direction great rest arises. Not that you become inactive; in fact just the opposite happens: when you feel restful you can act tremendously, because all your energy is available for action. When you are restless, in restlessness, your energy becomes entrapped. In restlessness you dissipate energy. If it becomes a habit it is one of the most dangerous things to happen -- but it happens in the majority.
My own observation is: unless a person finds a creative manifestation for his being he remains restless. At the most he can repress restlessness, console himself, remain occupied with some nonsense; but that is not the right way. That is wasting such precious energy that we cannot regain in any other way.
[Another sannyasin who is leaving says: I wondered if we could be close in Europe.]
Mm mm. (a pause) Every night meditate
