that all that you have is borrowed, and if you have courage to decide that, "I will not carry anything borrowed; I take the decision to find out something for myself, my own truth"....
What is the point of knowing all that has been written about love and never being in love? You may collect a whole library on love -- beautiful poetries, dramas, novels -- but it is all pointless; you don't know what love is. You have never loved. A single moment of love is more valuable than your whole library.
The same is true about everything that is valuable. A single insight into yourself is more valuable than all your scriptures. A single glimpse of your consciousness and you have entered the real temple -- which is not made of bricks and marble, but which already exists in you; it is made of consciousness itself. It is a flame, an eternal flame which has been burning since eternity. It needs no fuel. It is waiting for you to see it because by seeing it, your eyes for the first time will have something -- the joy, the light, the song, the beauty, the ecstasy.
And it is not that when you enter in, your outer will be forgotten. As you enter in, your outer starts radiating the inner -- in your gestures, the way you see, the way you talk, the authority behind your words. Even your touch, even your presence, even your silence will be a message.
The inner and the outer are parts of one reality.
First you have to cleanse the outer, which has been distorted by centuries. It is fortunate that nobody can distort your inner reality; nobody can enter there except you. You cannot even invite your lover, your friend. Except you, you cannot take anyone there. It is fortunate; otherwise everything would have been spoiled in you and recovery would have been impossible.
Only the outer side is covered with dust of all kinds; a small understanding can make you free of it. But that is an essential part -- the negative part -- to know the false as false, because the moment you know it is false, it drops, it disappears.
And after that the inner journey is very light, very simple.
