seen reality
Into true perspective of eternity
They say something totally different.
Let softness be the gift.
A soldier needs to be hard
An sannyasin needs to be soft.
A soldier needs to be aggressive
Violent, destructive.
A sannyasin needs to be just the opposite:
Receptive, loving.
A sannyasin basically lives in a kind of let-go.
So go beyond your old name.
It is good, so I am keeping the old
So it will remind you that
You have to go beyond it.
And I am adding the new too
That you have to go beyond.
Your name has both, your past and your future.
Not only your past but the past of humanity
And not only your future
But the future of humanity.
We have to absorb feminine qualities.
The woman has to be accepted.
Without the woman man is half
Just as woman is half without the man.
And when both energies meet and mingle
They are not opposites, they are complementaries.
And they help and a higher synthesis arises.
The effort to live in a man-oriented world
Has failed, utterly failed.
Our whole history is a history of failure.
Now we have to try something else.
It is time we should try -- if we don't try
Then humanity's future is doomed.
We have come to a cul-de-sac.
Man and woman have to merge their energies
Into one so that we can have a human world
Neither male-oriented nor female-oriented
Neither a patriarchy nor a matriarchy --
Simple human.
And that's my effort here.
My sannyasins have to become
Heralds of a new age, of a new man.
(To Sylvie) -- This is your name: Ma Subhadro.
Subhadro means grace.
Grace is beauty of the inner.
It filters out too but it originates
At the very centre of your being.
And slowly slowly it starts radiating
Through your mind, through your body
But it is not of the body
It comes from somewhere deeper than the body.
It is not of the mind either.
There are physically beautiful
