of many, many minds inside but has become a master who can direct his body, mind, soul, into a particular rhythm, in a particular harmony, who can start moving as a togetherness, not like a multiplicity, not like a crowd, but like a unity, who has created inside a cosmos instead of a chaos -- then one has become a real king. And that's what sannyas is all about.
The kingdom is within and the king is asleep: the king has to be awakened!
Prem means love, ken means beautiful. Love is beautiful, and not only that, love beautifies too. Without love beauty is artificial, formal; with love it becomes substantial, central, essential. Without love a man can only pretend that he is beautiful, because deep down lovelessness creates ugliness. One can hide one's ugliness in many ways: the body can have a beautiful form, the body can be proportionate, but that doesn't matter ultimately. What matters is your inner core, whether it is beautiful or not. A body which is beautiful and without the light of love is a beautiful house with no light.
Once love arises a kind of luminosity starts happening. The body becomes transparent. The eyes are no more one way: they don't only take something from the outside in, they start pouring out also; they become two-way. And all the senses change in the same way. The beautiful person is one who is pouring out his heart into the world in all possible ways, so whatsoever he touches turns into gold and wherever he moves the place becomes sacred.
To be beautiful with the arousing of love gives tremendous contentment. If one can share one's life and love with people, with existence, then all is attained; there is nothing more!
Peter means rock, divyo means divine -- become a rock for the divine. People are living in dreams. And to live in dreams is to make your house in the air. At the most it can be a sandcastle. It is perfectly okay if you are just playing on the beach for the sheer joy of it, but people are very seriously playing the game, too seriously in fact. They are ready to kill, they are ready to die for it; and it is just a sandcastle!
Unless a man starts moving beyond dreams and desires and thoughts.
