is so simple. All that is needed then is just calling you forth, just as Jesus called Lazarus out of his grave 'Lazarus, come out!' And man asleep is in a grave; every man is a Lazarus. Until you are spiritually born you are dead.
Veet means beyond, tamaso. means darkness. The time has come to go beyond darkness. The morning is very very close... just a little effort.... The barrier between you and reality is not very thick, it is just a thin screen. It can be easily removed. It is made not of stone; it is made only of thoughts, the same stuff dreams are made of.
It exists only because we don't know how to be in a state of no-thought. We don't know how to stop this constant chattering inside. And all the religions of the world simply teach one thing: how to get rid of the mind. And it is simple, the method is not difficult at all, but people don't even try it. Maybe they are afraid that they may succeed in stopping the mind.
That's my observation: that people are really afraid of meditative states. They have become so accustomed to living with the mind and its madness, they have become so efficient and clever, they have become so adjusted to all the neurosis of the mind that they are afraid 'If the mind suddenly disappears then what am I going to do? Then how will I live?'... because then there will be no desire and no future, then there will be no ambition and no aspiration. There will be no past, no memories of the past, no nostalgia for the past. You will be simply herenow, just this moment will be all; and it seems very dangerous just to be in the moment. We have never lived in the moment. It is so unknown, and anything unknown creates fear.
And meditation is the most unknown thing in the world. The mind is the most known; meditation is just absence of the mind. All our joys and all our miseries are part of our mind. In meditation all your miseries and all your happinesses will disappear; you will be in a totally new state, in a new dimension. In that dimension you will have to learn everything from ABC, and nobody wants to.
That's why people are not getting into meditation. They talk about meditation, they make a few half-hearted
