of friendship, of joy
so my message is contained in the word bliss
because it is bliss that will make you sweet
not only you
but it will spread sweetness all around you
be blissful and you are religious
be blissful and you are a sannyasin
the experience of ecstasy
is the only truth worth seeking and searching for
when i talk about the truth
i don't talk in a philosophical way
not the way immanuel kant will talk about it
or bertrand russell, or wittgenstein
they talk about truth as a concept
not as an experience
they talk about truth as a conclusion of the mind
i talk about truth as joy in the heart
it has nothing to do with logic
nothing to do with philosophy
it has something to do with a transformation
of your innermost core
when your very being starts throbbing, pulsating
in tune with existence
when there is no discord between you and the whole
when you are so synchronised with the whole
that you are no more but only the whole is
that is the moment
when truth has been experienced
but the taste of truth is that of bliss
when you drink truth your whole being is full
of the taste of bliss and ecstasy
and that taste never leaves you
it is eternal
it comes, it never goes
it is forever
so i talk about truth
the way jesus talked, buddha talked, lao t~u talked
but not like aristotle
not like the long tradition
of the so-called philosophers
kierkegaard, sartre, buber
they are all talking about it philosophically
it is like a hungry person
philosophically thinking about food
he can go on thinking and he will go on dying
because while he is thinking he is starving
he may think beautiful thoughts about food
he will have tremendous fantasies about food
all kinds of dishes
chinese and japanese and italian
but that is not going to help
what he needs is some real nourishment
but it happens only when you enter
