just absorb as much as you can -- even if sometimes it is too much and you become frightened, and sometimes it takes you to such strange spaces where you have never been and you want to shrink back and cling to the familiar. But god is the unknown. That which is known is the world, and that which is unknown and which remains unknown is god. So the jump is from the known to the unknown, the jump is from the familiar to the unfamiliar. It is an adventure into the unmeasured, unmapped, uncharted.
But the time has come -- before death knocks at the door one has to know what life is. If one dies without knowing what life is, one lived in vain. So you cannot afford to waste your life. Use each single opportunity that is available here to the utmost, to the maximum, and receive as much as is humanly possible.
Trust. And don't argue. Those arguments just become barriers. Put aside all your knowledge. That knowledge is not going to help. Only being helps, not knowledge; knowledge pretends, promises, but never delivers the goods. So put all knowledge aside. That means to put the whole mind aside, to let the heart function at the optimum. And you will not go empty-handed I would not like you to go empty-handed. I am ready -- you be ready!
[A sannyasin says: I just feel like coming closer to you... ]
Things are perfectly good, mm? -- you are getting closer and closer to me every day, and as you come closer, the desire to be more close will arise. That is a good indication.
It has nothing to do with physical closeness; it is something inward. The physical closeness is just one of the most superficial ways of being close -- the mundane way to be close, the worldly way to be close. There are higher and more superior ways of being close, and those are happening. The energy is flowing towards me, the distance is becoming less and less. Just remember me more....
[A sannyasin says he cannot hear with his left ear; and that he was born left-handed and forced to write with his right hand -- he writes from right to left.]
Yes, the problem is there. There was no need to change you from the left to the right, but that happens to every left-handed
