anybody
standing between you and existence
when you encounter existence
in its tremendous beauty
bliss starts showering and it goes on showering
it knows no end
there is only one marriage worthwhile
and that is being wedded to bliss directly
sannyas can be defined as a marriage to bliss
avoiding all other husbands and wives
and when you have avoided all in between
the philosophies, the religions, the dogmas
it is so close
that there is not even a single inch's difference
the difference is created by the indirect approach
the distance is created by people
who are standing between you and the whole
there is no need for anybody
no messenger, no prophet is needed
god is yours
existence is yours as much as anybody else's
one should take an immediate plunge
yes
one hesitates a little before one plunges
into the ultimate depths of life
that hesitation is natural
but one has to put that hesitation aside
one has to be courageous
and it is a single moment's courage
that does the magic
it is just like jumping into cold water
if you go on standing on the bank
you can go on standing for lives
it is only a question
of a single moment of courage and risk
throw off your clothes and jump in
yes it is cold... but only for a moment
and then it has tremendous beauty
and tremendous freshness
aliveness
the false aristocrat is an aristocrat because of birth
which is not much, which has no significance
birth is the same
whether you are born in an emperor's home
or in a beggar's home
the womb is the same
the queen's womb or the beggar woman's womb
it makes no difference at all
the real aristocracy comes from a second birth
that is the meaning of sujato
when you become blissful
when you become silent
when you become loving
when you become aware
when a second birth happens
which is the birth of your consciousness
