moving in different ways. It has to be so. There is no problem in it.
I have to follow my nature. This is how I see that it is more helpful to you -- if I am less available. If I give you one hour to talk to me, you will talk rubbish, because you only have rubbish. If I give you only three minutes, you have to choose from the rubbish; you have to choose whatsoever jewels you have. If you are allowed to live with me for twenty-four hours, you will completely forget me. That's how all Jesus' disciples missed him. But that was his way and nothing can be said about it, because there is no comparison, no criterion.
And there is nothing like human nature. Each individual human being has his own nature. So if you reach to a Buddha he will be totally different from Jesus. If you ask a Buddhist, he will say that Jesus must have been a little political, that he was not purely religious, otherwise why should he be crucified? Buddha was not crucified!
If you ask Jains, the followers of Mahavir, they will say that one is crucified only when he has committed many sins in a past life, otherwise not. So Jesus must have been a murderer in a past life, and he was crucified because of that karma -- because a Mahavir cannot be crucified.
Mahavir lived naked, so his followers think that everybody who has attained has to live naked, because when you become innocent, what is the use of clothes? Jesus is not realised because he is still wearing clothes. Even a Buddha is not realised -- he is still wearing clothes!
So these are different people, and they have all attained in their own ways; their expressions are unique.
And it is good that they are unique, otherwise life will be too monotonous. Think -- a row of Jesuses standing in a queue. (laughter) It will look ugly. Alone Jesus is beautiful, a precious diamond, but if there are too many just like him, he will be a pebble on the shore -- nothing of worth.
[The visitor then says: That's what I found with the sannyasins -- they all look too similar.]
You have not seen them yet. Become a sannyasin and see. You will find them each different. Their clothes are similar -- they are not.
