beautiful. Use that energy to flow within. Move ahead, allow it to change into love. But don't get stuck at love, allow it to become prayer. But don't get stuck at prayer. Unless nothingness is achieved one should go on moving and moving. When everything is dissolved you have come to the ultimate flowering of the lotus.
That's why Hindus, who are the deepest searchers of the inner world, have said that when the energy comes to its highest peak it is a flowering of the lotus, SAHASRAR, the thousand-petalled lotus. It is the last CHAKRA in your body. The first is sex, the last is the lotus, the SAHASRAR.
Don't get stuck anywhere! That should be remembered always. If you can remember that then nothing can become a barrier to you.
It depends on you whether you use it as a barrier or as a ladder. A stone is there -- a rock is there on the way. You can think of it as a hindrance; but you can step over it, and then it becomes a step and you move higher. That's why I accept everything. I don't condemn anything.
Whatsoever you are and whatsoever you are doing, don't get stuck there. Move on. Unless you reach to total absolute silence where you have disappeared, the other has disappeared, and only love flows, without there being a lover or a beloved -- only then has it become the ultimate flowering of the lotus: love flowering, with no lover, no beloved; both the shores have disappeared, only the river remains. And when the shores disappear -- the river becomes the ocean.
Now, try to follow the very potent, pregnant sutra of Lao Tzu.
ALL THE WORLD SAYS: MY TEACHING, TAO, GREATLY RESEMBLES FOLLY.
Love always looks foolish: foolish to those who are stuck somewhere, foolish to those who have not known anything higher than their body, foolish to those who have not known anything valuable other than money, foolish to those who have not known anything paradoxical, who, in fact, have not known anything mysterious, who have lived with logic, who are Aristotelian.
It is said that Aristotle's Master, Plato, used to call Aristotle THE MIND. That was his name for Aristotle -- THE MIND. Whenever he wanted to ask, Where is Aristotle?
