you find nothing there. But you can find it. If you are mad enough you can find anything in the world. You just have to be mad enough... almost insane, crazy. Then you will win, because nobody will be able to compete with you -- unless somebody crazier than you comes to compete with you.
You can find anything in the world that you crave for. There will be a nightmare, but there is an end to it.
But nirvana is the last and the ultimate nightmare.
Once you start seeking it, it is never going to happen -- because the very nature of it is such that the very nature prevents you from reaching it.
So when I say be herenow, I am saying please help nirvana to come to you. Be at home. Just wait. Sooner or later you will see -- god has knocked.
Jesus says, 'knock, and the door shall be opened unto you.'
I say to you, 'You just wait. God will knock. You just remain alert and open the door when he knocks.'
He has been continuously, constantly knocking, but you are not there to hear, to listen. You are not there to open the door. The guest is always standing-at the door, but the host is missing.
Be a host. That's what I mean when I say be herenow. This simply means be a host to life, be a host to existence. Remain available. And everything is going to happen to you. Nothing is going to be debarred. There is nobody hindering the path except your own desire, except your own continuous running here and there. Rest a little while.
And when I say rest, I mean rest herenow. Don't postpone it -- because who can rest tomorrow?
And I will go on singing the beauties of ecstasy, but don't misunderstand me. I'm not trying to convince you that nirvana has to be achieved. It is not a goal. k cannot be made a goal. It cannot be made an object of desire. It is available. Just look. Have an alert look. Life is tremendously beautiful. It is showering on you from everywhere.
This I call meditation. This is what zen calls zazen -- just sit, in an infinite waiting... watching, alert, aware, not going anywhere... and the miracle of miracles happens -- that which you were seeking and could not find, suddenly happens.
There
