< Previous | Contents | Next > ‌CHAPTER 19 19 April 1977 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Bodhi means consciousness, awareness, and dhara means a river: a river of awareness. And awareness is a river – it is a stream, it is a flow. It lives only when it flows; when it is not flowing it is dead. So whenever the consciousness is not flowing, a person lives a dead life....

The love has yet to happen, it is not yet born; it is there, hankering to be born, it is still in the womb. Every man is love unborn, hence the misery, the anguish....

And there is only one victory in life, and that is with god, with the divine. Alone we are defeated, with him we are winners. Man alone cannot win, there is no possibility. Man alone is doomed, man alone is simply helpless. To be with god is to be victorious, because the total wins finally, not the part – and god means the total or the whole....

Prem means love and saraha means one who has attained the target – one who has attained the target of love. It is still a possibility, but it can become actual; I give the name with a great hope. It is not yet actual but it can become actual, with just a little effort and a little awareness....

And that is the true reality of everyone: the glorious one is sitting inside you, waiting for your knock. It is not far away, it is very close by – just a slight turn and the meeting happens....

Basically it is sound – the existence consists of sound, eternal sound. And whenever we are close to that sound we are happy, whenever we fall in tune with that song we are happy and blissful. Whenever we are out of step we are unhappy....

Shraddhan means trust. And that is the most significant quality for a seeker, to be able to trust – because the whole movement is into the unknown. Unless you trust you cannot go into it. It needs tremendous courage to trust....

Was this just me? I don’t know.] It must have been you. You must have some resistance, you must be afraid of me, so you projected it. Otherwise why should I be angry with you?...
