СКАЧАТЬ like steel – clay will no longer do.

      To be a sannyasin is to be a soldier of God.

      Serve your parents – even more than before.

      Give them the joy of a sannyasin son.

      But don’t relent,

      keep your resolution firm;

      it will bring glory to your family.

      The son who compromises with a thing like sannyas

      shames his family.

      I have complete trust in you,

      that’s why I have been a witness to your sannyas.

      Laugh and go through everything.

      Listen to everything and laugh.

      This is your sadhana.

      Let the storms come and go.

      129. Love.

      In sannyas, sansara is just a drama;

      to know the world as a play is sannyas.

      Then no one is small,

      no one great,

      no Ram and no enemy, Ravan,

      and everything is a Ram-leela, God’s play.

      Whichever part you are given play it well.

      The part is not you

      and as long as we identify with our part in the play

      self-knowledge is impossible.

      And from the day that this identification is broken

      ignorance becomes impossible.

      Play your part

      but know well it isn’t you.

      130. Love.

      I have received your letter.

      There is a great difference between love and pity.

      There is pity in love

      but there is no love in pity.

      Therefore it is important to know things as they are:

      love as love, pity as pity.

      To take one for the other

      is to create unnecessary worry.

      Ordinarily, love has become impossible

      because as he is man cannot be loving:

      to be in love the mind must be completely empty

      and we love only with our minds,

      so that when our love is at its lowest it is sex

      and at its highest it is compassion,

      but love is a transcendence of both sex and compassion.

      Therefore understand what is

      and do not strive for what should be –

      what should be flows out of

      the acceptance and understanding of what is.

      131. Love.

      I received your letter.

      Now never worry about me,

      not even mistakenly for two reasons.

      First: the day I surrendered myself for God

      I transcended all anxiety –

      because trying to look after oneself

      is the only anxiety!

      Ego is anxiety.

      Beyond it: what anxiety? whose? and for whom?

      Secondly: men like me are born to be crucified.

      The cross is our throne

      and our mission is fulfilled

      only when stones are showered, not flowers.

      But on the divine path

      even stones turn into flowers,

      and on the contrary path

      even flowers turn out to be stones.

      Therefore when the stones start raining on me,

      be happy and thank God!

      Truth is always received like this.

      If you don’t agree

      ask Socrates

      ask Jesus

      ask Buddha

      ask Kabir

      ask Meera.

      My regards to all.

      132. Love.

      What does the seed know of its own potential?

      It is the same with man:

      he doesn’t know what he is nor what he can be!

      The seed, perhaps, cannot look within but man can.

      This looking in is called meditation.

      To know one’s truth

      as it is here and now is meditation.

      Dive into it, deeper and deeper;

      there, in the depths, all that is possible

      can be clearly seen.

      And once seen it begins to happen –

      the awareness of what is possible turns it into a reality,

      like a seed stirred by a vision of its potential

      beginning to sprout.

      Time, effort, energy – pour it all into meditation

      because meditation is the gateless gate through which

      the self becomes aware of itself.

      133. Love.

      Nothing in life is sure – except death,

      otherwise life is another name for insecurity.
