everybody crazy
they have created a great fever for perfectionism,
and perfectionism
is the fundamental source of all neurosis
once a person becomes obsessed with being perfect
he is a goner
i don't tell anybody to be perfect
perfection is not something that you have to attain
it is your nature
it has not to be attained but only discovered
and the methods of attainment and discovery
are totally different
the method of attainment is cultivation
become more perfect, become more perfect
go on improving
go on dropping flaws, errors, mistakes
go on polishing your ego
the method of discovery is not of cultivation
it is becoming silent
so that you can feel
who you are
before one tries to be perfect
one should know who am i? where do i stand?
what is my nature?
if without knowing that you are a marigold
you start trying to be a perfect rose
you will go crazy
to become perfect roses
roses have the desire to become perfect lotuses
this is how the whole world
goes on becoming more and more cuckoo
everybody is chasing something
which is not his nature
so all that happens is that the marigold
cannot become a marigold
and it cannot become a rose either
so there is simply misery
every man, every woman, every tree
every bird, every flower
has its own uniqueness
it is incomparable
but we are continuously taught to compare
this is how the society creates a hierarchy
somebody is superior to you
somebody is inferior to you
of course with the inferior you behave in one way
with the superior in another way
you are constantly trying
to rise higher in the hierarchy
and you are constantly preventing others
from rising higher than you
this is our whole unnecessary life
our whole mess, confusion, chaos
and all depends on a simple thing
the idea of comparison
comparison brings competition
comparison brings
