is continuously in that mood -- a poet, sometimes; a mystic, always -- a painter, sometimes; a saint, always -- a singer, sometimes; a buddha, always -- a dancer sometimes. That's why I have great respect for arts -- maybe painting, dancing, music. I have great respect for them, because they come closest to religion.
Science is farthest... the arts are very close. And arts like music and dancing come very close. Dancing comes to the very threshold. A dancer is almost a saint... just on the threshold. A little jump, a little push, and he will be totally floating in a different world.
'Abha' means that light which comes around the face and the body of a man when he is in tremendous poetry, when he is a harmony, when all his parts have fallen together into a whole, when there is no conflict and no friction and everything is fused into oneness, when all your energies, inner energies, have fallen into one whole and you are not a crowd and not falling in all directions. Then you will feel a light arising around you, surrounding you -- that is 'abha'. It is a very diffused, subtle light; a spiritual light you. can call it.
So let the quality of singing and poetry and painting and dancing be your climate. And whenever you see somebody in that moment, look for the light. Soon you will start having the eye, because it comes to be seen only when we start looking for it -- it is very subtle. Unless you are really looking for it, you will miss it. While listening to me every day, look for it -- that is more important than what I say. The day you are able to see it there will be a great transformation... and that day will come soon.
Whenever you can see it surrounding me tremendously -- almost as if I have disappeared and there is only light -- that day you have to come immediately... That day you will enter into a different world. This name will function as a key, so go on looking for this light.
And sometimes when you are in that poetic mood yourself, just close your eyes and feel the light around you. Soon you will feel the warmth of it. It becomes so real one can almost touch it....
