just repeat their life
although they have been miserable
so i don't suspect their intentions
but intentions don't mean anything at all
all that has significance is consciousness
not unconscious good intentions --
and there are very few people who are conscious
to be in tune with a conscious person
is to be a disciple
to be a sannyasin
a conscious person can help you
to discover yourself
he does not impose anything upon you
he does not programme you
he simply deprogrammes you
and leaves you open, available, a clean slate
so you can make your own signature
you can write your own song
and you can dance your own dance
and the greatest experience in life is
the experience of one's uniqueness
meditation is not something serious
it is a very very long tradition
that says meditation is very serious --
it is not
it is very playful
it is closer to song than to anything else
closer to dance than anything else
closer to love than anything else
meditation cannot be serious by its very nature
seriousness is part of the mind
playfulness is part of the heart.
and meditation means slipping out of the head
and entering into the heart
it is getting out of the serious affairs of life
into an attitude of playfulness
the head is old
the heart is always new, fresh
like dewdrops in the early morning sun
as fresh as new roses opening
as fresh as the stars in the night
it is not old like the old testament
it is not old like the ancient vedas
it is very young like a just-born baby
with fresh eyes
unburdened, uncluttered, with no dust
a mirror
so that has to be remembered
being here with me simply means being
playful
non-serious
joyous
i don't teach renunciation
i teach rejoicing
and the more you rejoice
the more you become capable of receiving
new gifts from the divine
the more you are playful
