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
