you. Everybody has to find his own door. Different people go through different doors. They arrive at the same goal, they reach the same reality, the same nothingness or the same God, but the approaches are different because personalities are different, types are different.
So mercy is going to be the key word for you. Feel more and more compassion. Flow into compassion... for no reason at all, because compassion can't have any reason, it is its own joy. If you do it for some reason it is no more compassion. It has to be spontaneous, on the spot, with no idea, with no motive. Then it brings great joy.
[A sannyasin, leaving, says that if everything goes well, he will be back by fall.]
By fall ? Everything will go well -- cross out that 'if'! Never get hooked by 'ifs' and 'buts'. Make life simple, and without 'ifs' and 'buts' life is very simple. 'Ifs' and 'buts' create great complexity. Because we create our life through our thinking: if you say 'if' then there will be an 'if'; you are projecting it. Don't project hesitations. Just say 'Everything will be well and I will be here by fall'... and everything will be well; there is no problem in it.
Man creates his own world by thinking about it continuously.

Hasiba. It means: one who satisfies. Without God there is no satisfaction possible. One can go on searching and one will find many things in life but nothing is going to satisfy. Just a moment's illusion that one feels satisfaction, one has not even felt it and it is gone. Just a dewdrop slipping on the grass leaf: you have not even seen it correctly and it has disappeared, fallen. That's how we come across satisfaction: one desire is satisfied -- for a moment one feels good, but only for a moment, and again the whole turmoil starts, again the whole trip. As one desire disappears, ten desires arise in its place, and it is a non-ending process.
Only with God does that process stop, that wheel moves no
