from the mind into the being is the way to truth.
The veeno is an Indian musical instrument like the sitar. Life is a musical instrument, but very few people try to play upon their lives. Rarely does a person learn how to create music in his own life; and only that music can take you to god. One can keep the musical instrument for lives together without playing upon it. It contains great music, but that music has to be released.
Jesus is one who has released his music; so is Buddha. These are the people who touched the strings of their inner instrument, who played on their own hearts and created great melody. Echoes of it are heard even today. Centuries come and go but something still haunts the human consciousness; those melodies were so beautiful, they cannot be forgotten.
Every man has the instrument. It is simply unbelievable how we can go on living without music.
We never look into our own being, we never use the potential; we remain the seeds. The seeds contain millions of flowers, but it all depends on you.
Initiation into sannyas is initiation into this awareness of 'I contain much more than I am aware of. Whatsoever I am is only the superficial part of whatsoever I can be.' We are less than we can be. We are only parts of that whole which we can be.

Somebody said 'You have not learned a lesson at all. You are being killed, your head is being cut only because of this statement; still, at the time of death, you are not repentant.'
He said 'What are you talking about? Even when my head is cut off, my head without the body will say the same thing three times.' And it happened that way: his head was cut, it had started rolling down
