enemies.
They consist in fact of one
And the name of that one enemy
Which is hidden behind all these faces
Is unconsciousness -- He has conquered it
By becoming absolutely conscious.
He is full of light
There is no darkness any more.
He is only consciousness
There is no unconscious in him
Hence inside all the enemies have disappeared.
From the outside he has dropped all enmity.
He is arihanto -- he has conquered all the enemies.
The whole existence is his friend
And he is a friend to the whole of existence.
He is a lover hand he loves unconditionally.
(To Sylvie) -- This is your name: Ma Vijayo. Vijayo
Means the victorious one.
There is only one victory worth achieving
And that is of becoming conscious
Of becoming more meditative, of becoming
More silent, calm and quiet and collected.
All other victories are false, pseudo.
They don't have any meaning.
Money, power, prestige -- they are all playthings
They are not for people
Who are really intelligent
They are for the stupid ones: Stupid ones
Also need few things to keep them occupies
Otherwise they will create more nuisance.
But the really intelligent person soon becomes
Disinterested into all that nonsense.
He starts moving inwards
He starts enquiring 'Who am I?'
He starts digging deep within his own being
To find his center.
And the day the center is found
One is victorious because one has overcome death.
Once you know who you are there is no death --
That is true victory.
(To Kirsten) -- This is your name: Ma Samudro. Samudro means the oceanic.
One should not think in terms of limits one should get rid of all ideas of limitations, that's the whole phenomenon of sannyas. Knowing that "I am not the body," is the beginning of a great pilgrimage. Then knowing that "I am not the mind either," is a further step; then finally knowing that "I am not even my feeling," is the last step. In these three steps the journey is over
