We try to imitate them.
If we respect them, they become our ideals.
Somehow we would like to live
Their way of life one day.
And whatsoever we can do in our own small way
We try to do.
My sannyasin has to drop,
Not the world, but conflict itself.
He has to transform his energy
From conflict into harmony
From dispute into trust.
Life is too short to waste it in dispute
It is too short to waste it in fighting
This small bit of energy what we have got
Has to be transformed into a celebration because
Theirs is the kingdom of god.
But celebration is possible
Only when all conflict has been dropped.
So don't fight with others
And don't fight with yourself -- stop fighting!
Start loving! Love is my message.
(To Diethelm) -- This is your name: Swami Deva Diethelm.
Deva means god or more exactly, godliness. Diethelm
Means protector.
Or if ;you really want
to be very close to the truth
Then godliness is our protection.
We are continuously protected by divine energy
In every possible way, because we are part of it.
No man is an island -- separate, apart.
We are part of the whole,
Intrinsic part of the whole.
The whole takes every care
Just we have to learn to trust.
The more we trust
The more care flows from the whole.
The more we distrust
We stop the care that was flowing towards us.
Our distrust closes us, our trust opens us.
If we distrust we live in fear
And we live in darkness and we live in misery.
If we trust we live in joy, we live in bliss
We live in light; life becomes
A non-serious affair, it becomes laughter.
Then it has a beauty and tremendous grandeur
And utter splendor, indescribable in words
Inexpressible in language --
It can only be experienced.
And the whole secret is in a single word 'trust'.
Trust existence and you will be able
To taste the greatest joys of your life
The ultimate peaks
