is not somewhere outside you
god is your interiority, your innermost core
hence the search is not for a god somewhere else
god is nothing but a name for your own centre
and the search for god
is nothing but a self-discovery
and the moment you discover yourself
you also discover blissfulness
because that is the nature of the self
so both things happen simultaneously
they are two sides of the same coin
either meditate and discover your innermost core
that is one way
or dance and sing to abandonment
lose yourself in joy
so totally that you are no more there
only the dance is, the song is
that is another way of discovering
you will discover the same coin
but from different aspects
buuddha discovered through meditation
meera discovered through dance
these are the two fundamental roots
because these are the two sides of your inner being
and one is as valid as the other
i have no special preference for either
so i leave my sannyasins to choose
it is not very difficult to choose either
one has just to ponder over one's likings
if you love silence
if you love aloneness
if you love just to be within yourself
if you want and desire to forget the whole
and all its worries
if you feel the world is too much with you
then meditation is your way
if you enjoy people, relationship, love
company, friends, music, dance, celebration
if you enjoy the vast universe around you
and it makes you rejoice; it is not tiring
it is not exhausting, but rejuvenatinq
then bliss is your way
and each person has to decide for himself
i don't impose anything on anybody
i simply give you the whole perspective
so you can choose
and both are valid means
one is not higher than the other
both reach the same goal
so it is only a question of individual liking
before one starts the journey
one should decide which is one's way
because sometimes it can
