become alexanders
rather than helping mankind
they start destroying mankind
a miserable person
with all the good intentions in the world
cannot help anybody
we can give only that which we have already got
helping somebody means
you have got a nourishing energy in you
a benevolent, compassionate love in you
that you are radiating bliss
that your presence is a healing force
only then can you help
otherwise you will become a do-gooder
and they are
the most dangerous people in the world
the most mischievous
humanity has suffered much from the do-gooders
missionaries, reformists, public servants
these are the enemies
and i don't suspect their intentions
their intentions are good, but they are not good
it is like darkness trying to enlighten people
it is like a dead man trying to give life to others
it is like an unlit lamp gathering people around itself
so that they can be enkindled
it is absolutely, fundamentally wrong
hence i don't teach public service
and i don't teach you to become missionaries
reformists, great servants of the people
i teach only one thing
be blissful
then everything else follows of its own accord
a blissful person cannot contain his bliss
that is not possible in the very nature of things
a blissful person
intrinsically radiates his source of joy
just as light radiates rays
and the flowers radiate their perfume
the blissful person radiates
compassion, love, benediction
hence the first duty is not towards anybody else
but towards yourself
help yourself
remember the ancient proverb
physician, first heal thyself
and then you can become a healing force
and without any effort, without any ego
simply, naturally, spontaneously
so learn to dance, sing, celebrate
learn to enjoy life in its multi-dimensionality
and that will make you an alex
and prevent you from becoming an alexander
god is
