are accepted and the first is rejected. You have found the very secret of meditation. Live always aware of this witness and God will become available to you. He is available.'
Zahira. That too is a sufi name for God. It means: the manifest one. Shahido means the hidden one who is looking from inside, Zahira means the manifest one who is manifest everywhere -- in the trees, in the rivers, in the mountains, in people, in animals. God is both, the hidden and the unhidden. He is not only the inside, He is the outside too because He is all.
So this is going to be your meditation: looking at a tree, forget the tree -- remember God. Seeing a flower, forget the flower and see God. Talking to a friend, forget the friend -- start talking to God. It is a knack, it comes slowly. It is a great art. Once you know the art you have magic with you: you can transform everything into God. Then wherever you are you are surrounded by gods and gods in millions of forms.
So this is going to be your work: see God in everything....
Just being available to me things start happening, things which on your own you may never be able to begin.
The presence of the master functions as a catalytic agent -- it triggers. Then there is a chain reaction: one thing leads to another and then it goes on and on. Once the process has started you can be on your own. But the first triggering is of immense value. And that happens to anybody who is ready to trust. I can see great trust in you, so there is no problem. The problem arises with people who want something to happen but won't allow it to happen. Then they are in a contradiction. They would like it to happen but they won't open their doors. They would like the sun to come in but they won't open the doors. The sun goes on waiting outside and they remain behind their doors in darkness, just dreaming about light but doing nothing.
And much is not needed to be done in fact -- just opening the door is enough. Just give way to me. You can give way and you can give way so easily that it is not going to be a task, it is going to be just a play.
Sabur. It is a name for God; it means 'the patient one.' God is infinite
