alchemy, the point where suddenly you realize you are neither -- neither happiness nor sadness. You are the watcher -- you watch peaks, you watch valleys; you are neither.
Once this point is attained, you can go on celebrating everything. You celebrate life and you celebrate death. You celebrate happiness, you celebrate unhappiness. You celebrate everything. Then you are not identified with any polarity. Both the polarities have become available to you together, and you can move from one to the other easily. You have become liquid-like, you flow. Then you can use both, and both can become a help into your growth.

I don't live in the past and I don't think of future -- that whatsoever I am saying, may I be able in the future also to say the same thing. No, there is no past and no future.
Right this moment you ask a question and whatsoever happens, happens: I respond. It is a simple response, it is not an answer. Next day you again ask
