< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 10 10 July 1978 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium The whole of life is a means. And the moment you start thinking of something other than god as a goal, you start going astray. Money can become the goal, then the person has gone astray. Nothing is wrong in money itself – it is perfectly good, useful – but it should remain the means; it should not become the end....

God is not a thought but the experience of thoughtlessness. It is not a content in the mind; it is the explosion when the mind is contentless. It is not an object that you can see; it is the very capacity to see....

And that’s the whole work of the seeker. We are caught up in the non-essential, the mundane, the trivial. For the moment it looks so important, and the next moment it appears as if it had not happened at all....

If one can be mad in love, then all becomes possible, because only in love are we not tethered to the earth. Suddenly the law of gravitation is replaced by the law of grace. We are not being pulled downwards, we are uplifted; hence the euphoria that love brings....

Everything else is just a part – god is the whole. God is not a person but another name for the totality of all. To live as a part against the whole is to live in misery. To live as a part with the whole, as the whole, in the whole, is to be in bliss....

God can be conceived of in two ways: with qualities or without qualities, with form or without form. The centre of existence is formless but the circumference is full of form.

One who has divine discontent is the most fortunate, because only those who are afire with a desire to know god will be able to know him.

God can be conceived of either in the form or in the formless, either as the world, the manifested, or as the seed, the unmanifested. The form arises out of no-form and falls back into the formless again. Everything comes out of nothing and goes back to nothing, so nothing is not against existence; it is the very source of it....

The right way to live is to allow god to live through you. The wrong way to live is to live through will, aggression, violence. The right way is: to be passive, receptive, in a kind of total let-go. Nimitta means to become a passage for god, to allow him expression through you, to let him live through you....
