and just go on doing camps and the groups, and one day suddenly you will find that it has happened. It is nothing that you can do -- it happens. But if something is happening, it is perfectly good.
There is no need to force any belief. I am not a believer in beliefs, and all belief systems are Poisonous. With a belief system all that you can do is believe in me. That is not trust -- that is a deception. When trust is missing, one can substitute a belief and one can feel that one trusts, but that's not trust. And in fact if you substitute it with belief, the real trust may not ever arise because you can go on playing with your false coin and you will stop searching for the real coin; the pseudo will satisfy you. That is the misery of many people: they are in such a hurry that they want to trust somebody -- but trust is not so easy. It arises when it arises. There is no way of predicting it.
But you can create a belief. Belief will be home-made, man-made, and that will obstruct the trust and will not allow it to come in. So don't be worried about it. Be a non-believer and go on doubting me. If there is something in me, the trust is bound to arise. If there is not, then it is good not to trust. So it is for me to do something. Mm? it is not your problem, it is my problem. While you are here enjoy these moments and one day suddenly you will find I am there in your heart. That comes out of the belief -- without even giving any information that it is coming, without notifying you.
In India we call God 'the ultimate guest', and the sanskrit word for guest is 'atithi'. That term is very beautiful: it means one who comes without giving any information, one who comes without giving any date. 'Tithi' means date and 'atithi' means one who comes suddenly without giving any date when he is coming. God is an old type of guest. New guests inform you that they will be coming and how many days they will be staying. In the old days guests would suddenly.... And in India they still do -- suddenly they are there.
God is an 'atithi', a guest who comes nobody knows when.
It will come. You just have to be joyful, silent. Belief is not a prerequisite,
