stop it -- then again you have started it. If you strive to stop it, then you have missed the point. You have just to see the point of it, that striving will take you away from you, that striving will create more and more tension. Seeing the fact -- IHI PASSIKA. Seeing this, striving disappears and there is suddenly a stillness. In that stillness the first glimpse will come of bliss. You will enter into your second body. And when you have entered into the second body then it will be more and more easy, very lucid, to slip into the central most core -- the essential body, the body of truth.
Once you have tasted something of your inner bliss then you have the vision where to really search for, where to go now. Disappear into your innermost being and you will find it. Seek, and you will miss. Don't seek, and find.
NOT KNOWING IT IS NEAR, THEY SEEK IT AFAR. WHAT A PITY
IT IS LIKE ONE IN THE WATER WHO CRIES OUT FOR THIRST;
IT IS LIKE THE CHILD OF A RICH HOUSE
WHO HAS STRAYED AWAY AMONG THE POOR.
And has forgotten that he is rich -- may have become a beggar. You ARE rich, infinitely rich. You are all emperors and empresses, gods and godesses. Just recognize. Don't get too much into begging -- and desire creates the beggar. Even a man like Alexander is a beggar, because the desire is there. A man like Napoleon is a beggar, because the desire is there. See the richest people of this earth and you will see just beggars and nothing else. And sometimes it happens, you come across a beggar and you see the emperor sitting there under the tree -- having nothing, trot possessing anything.
Just possess yourself and you have possessed all. Be the master of yourself and you have become the master of all. Possessing things, you will remain a beggar. And people go on changing but not really transforming. You possess one thing, then you start possessing another thing, then you possess a third thing. Sometimes you start possessing other-worldly things, but nothing changes. Just form changes. Somebody possesses money and somebody starts possessing virtue. Now it is the same, not much difference.
