go to israel
they cannot go to the moon
they cannot go to everest
they are possessed by their women
they won't allow them to
so they also have to be just very close
near the kitchen, the bathroom
maybe the woman looks at the mirror
and they clean the mirror
but they are not very far either
millions of people
simply live at the physiological, the biological
the chemical level of life
closer than that is another concentric circle
that of the mind: thoughts, ideas
philosophers, theologians, thinkers, scientists
these people live there
closer than that
is the concentric circle of the heart
the poets, the painters
the musicians, the dancers
the aesthetic people live there
but all are outside your real being
one has to transcend all these four boundaries
only then does one encounter oneself
then for the first time
one stands face-to-face to oneself
and that is the moment of great illumination
when you see your centre
you have seen all that is worth seeing
you have seen god himself
you have seen the truth
there is nothing higher than that
nothing deeper than that
nothing more valuable than that
sannyas is the transcendence
of all boundaries so that one day
you can simply relax in your very centre
that centre is consciousness
awareness
godliness
life is one energy
but out of that one energy
we can either create love or attachment
love is heaven, attachment is hell
we can create out of that energy
bondage or freedom
it all depends on us
on how we work upon our energy
the lower is cheaper and easier
to create hell does not need much intelligence
it does not even need courage
all that it needs is imitation
because millions of people
are doing the same thing all around you
you can just imitate them
your parents, your teachers, your leaders
it is simple
you will become a carbon
