material, that something can be pulled forth from the beyond. Then our darkness is no more darkness, then we have a light. That light is Christ, and that light has the quality of love.
[A sannyasin, leaving, who is writing his autobiography, says: Thank you! My whole life has changed.]
Yes, it has changed and I am very happy. It is really beautiful to see anybody changing so fast and so easily. Whenever any sannyasin goes through such a change I feel as happy as a gardener when he sees a new flower bloom.
But this is just the beginning: much more, much deeper, much higher, is going to happen. So don't settle with it. Be happy, thankful, grateful; but this is only the beginning, remember it, just the tip of the iceberg.
Man has unlimited potential to grow. Man is absolutely unaware of who he is, of what he can do, of what he can be.
My basic approach is to slowly slowly make you aware that you are not an island but a vast continent. There are still many dark parts of your own world where you have never penetrated, never travelled. There are peaks which have to be climbed and there are depths which have to be fathomed, and it is a non-ending process.
Religion is a pilgrimage, a non-ending pilgrimage; one is always arriving but one never arrives. The day you understand it, then the sheer beauty of it is so ecstatic that you are always arriving and never arrive, that life goes on expanding just as the universe goes on expanding....
But the seed has sprouted; protect it, help it. You have to finish your autobiography, because now your autobiography is my autobiography; now I am part of you. It will be of immense help to people in understanding me. So now it is not only your work, it will be a great help to my work, because what is happening to people here, many people would like to happen to them. But they have to be made aware that something is happening somewhere, that a door has opened somewhere, that a new hope has arisen somewhere, that god is not dead, that yet somewhere something can make you feel the existence of god, that there still exists a field of energy which is the need of everyone.
So write it, and
