Wim) -- This is your name: Swami Dhyan Wim.
Dhyan means meditation. Wim means resolution,
Unwavering, absolute determination.
Meditation is possible only
When one takes a jump into absolute commitment.
It is not possible
If you are only curious about it.
It is possible only
If you risk everything, if you risk all.
The curious person cannot risk anything.
He simply wants to know
But he does not want to get involved.
He wants to know from the outside.
He does not want to become a participant
Because to become a participant is risky.
First he wants to become sure.
One cannot move into the world of meditation
in a lukewarm way.
One has to boil at the hundred degree heat
Only then there is evaporation.
And meditation is a kind of evaporation.
You evaporate. What is left is totally
Something new that you had never known before
That it ever existed
You had not even suspected about it.
The old is gone, completely gone
And something absolutely new has arrived.
There is a discontinuity.
It is not continuous with the old that's why I call
Meditation is the only revolution.
All other revolutions are only called revolutions,
They are reformations.
They are just renovating the old building.
Meditation is dismantling the whole old building
And creating a totally new house, totally new
Which has no connection with the old.
It does not even resemble with the old.
For that certainly, great resolution is needed.
When the intensity is total
Meditation can happen in a single moment.
Sannyas means you are becoming committed
Your are becoming involved
You are no more a spectator now,
Your are becoming a participant
In a tremendous journey of the unknown.
Even the courage to become a sannyasin
Is something very precious because it is
The most significant decision of one's life.
It is an effort to change the mundane into sacred.
