is no more

understanding functions like a light

you bring the light into the dark room

and darkness is no more

meditation is a bridge between you and the whole

mind is a wall between you and the whole

and the same bricks are being used

you can make a bridge

you can make a wall

sannyas means

dismantling the wall and using the same bricks

in creating a bridge

it is a simple phenomenon

it is not as difficult as people have been told

the people who have been saying that it is difficult

are basically on ego trips themselves

of course if it is difficult and you have attained it

only then can your attainment be ego-fulfilling

so the so-called saints

have been trying to say to people

that it is very arduous, that it is almost impossible

that only very rare people

after lives of effort and virtue attain to it

and that too only by god's grace

not only you and your effort are going to make it

unless god wills it so... god willing

that is a necessary condition to it

and who knows when he will will it

whether he will or not?

these so-called saints

have been trying to prove to humanity

that meditation is very difficult

that is the only way to pretend

that they are holier-than-thou

that they have attained

and you are lives away from that attainment

all that you can do is worship them

my approach is totally different

meditation is the most simple phenomenon in life

there is nothing holy about it

there is nothing special about it

it is just a small understanding

the same bricks have to be used

but arranged in a different way of course

and it becomes a bridge

thoughts have the same energy

as the state of no-thought

desires have the same energy

lust has the same energy as love

there is no fundamental difference

only the manifestation, the form, has to be changed

and that can be easily done

if i have been able to do it

then
