thin, it is nothing. You needed real, authentic love, a flowing of the heart. You needed your husband running towards you, but then you have to become a magnetic force, a happiness. Nobody runs towards unhappiness headlong. One tries to protect oneself, moves guardedly.

BUT THE PRESIDENT KNEW HIM AND HE OBTAINED NOTHING,
AGAIN AND AGAIN HE TRIED, EVEN DISGUISING HIMSELF AS A WOMAN, BUT WITHOUT RESULT.
You cannot disguise yourself, because a higher consciousness simply means a penetrating consciousness. Not only does it penetrate clothes -- the burka of a Mohammedan woman: it penetrates your body; that too is a clothing, natural. It penetrates your mind; that too is a clothing, cultural.

Even ordinary death is not so deep, because ordinary death will not destroy much. You will remain intact in your mind; only the body will be changed. The older body will be replaced by a newer body -- but not the mind. The old mind will continue.
A Master is a great death. If you can pass through a Master and his love and his blessings, your body will die, your mind will die, your ego will die: ALL THAT CAN DIE WILL DIE -- only that which cannot die, the deathless, will remain; only the deathless you, the immortal you, the brahma.
