Bliss is a vision of beauty. It is seeing the tremendous grace that surrounds existence. It is seeing the dance of the universe, the song of the universe, it is penetrating into the harmony. The whole existence is harmonious, it is an orchestra: everything is in tune with everything else, except for man. Man falls out of step and then he suffers, becomes miserable. Fall in step again and then there is bliss.

To be a sannyasin means falling in step again, becoming part of the harmony of the whole.

Man's well-being is with God. If we become rooted in God we are whole and healthy. If we remain without God we remain without roots, without nourishment. God is more a mother than a father, more a she than a he. It is just the male chauvinist attitude that has made him a he.

God is the earth, our nourishment, our well-being. And the whole of life is nothing but an exploration --

an exploration of the source of our well-being.

Reinhard.

The pure heart is a basic condition for bliss to happen, but by purity I don't mean something moral; by purity I mean innocence. A moralist is never innocent, he is very calculating. His morality is nothing but his calculation. He is bargaining with God, he is earning virtue so that he can achieve paradise and the joys and the pleasures of paradise. He is really cunning, his morality is rooted in his arithmetic. He is not innocent; no moralist is ever innocent.

It sometimes happens that an immoral person may be more innocent than the so- called moral. The immoral may be immoral only because he has not calculated about his life. He is simply living, with no idea of the consequences. He may be simple, but the moralist is never simple, he is very complex. The so-called saints are the most complex, cunning, calculative people. You will not find the innocence of a child in their being -- and that's what purity is.

Query:-

A child is neither aware of the good nor the bad, that is his innocence. To become transcendental to good and bad again is purity, purity of the heart. The transcendence of duality is purity. The moralist chooses; the pure heart lives spontaneously without choosing. He lives in a choiceless way: fully alert, aware, but absolutely choiceless; available to the situation, responsible, responding -- but not out of calculation. And that is the basic space in which bliss starts pouring in.

Love is the most precious diamond there is. All kohinoors are worthless compared to love. me man of love is the richest. And everybody can be rich, everybody can be an emperor through the door of love. But people are afraid to enter it.

They are afraid because at the very entrance one thing is demanded: leave yourself out, then come in.

The demand is paradoxical but it can be fulfilled because you are two: the real you and the unreal you. The unreal you has to be left outside the gate and then the real you can enter the temple, the kingdom of god. But we have become so identified with the unreal that we think, "How can it be made possible? The demand seems to be impossible, How can one leave oneself behind?" Yes, it can be done. It has to be done.

That's what sannyas is all about. It is entering into the world of love. It is becoming committed to the ultimate adventure -- the adventure of dropping the ego and becoming utterly egoless, The moment you are no more an ego the whole benediction of god is yours.

That is the only way to be rich, otherwise everybody lives a beggar's life., Jagannatha Das means servant of god, or it is even better to say, a slave of god.

But in English the word

"slave" has wrong connotations. It has no positive meaning to it; only the negative. Servant is a little milder, but that too has only negative connotations.

In Eastern languages each word has a double meaning, at least, the negative and the positive. A slave is an ugly phenomenon if the slavery has been imposed upon you -- that is its negative meaning. But if you have surrendered out of love and become a slave voluntarily, of your own accord, then it has a positive meaning. It has a tremendous beauty about it, because by becoming a slave of your own accord you are simply dropping your ego. You are not really becoming a slave; on the contrary you are becoming a master for the first time, because once the ego is dropped you are part of god. It is the ego that keeps you away from god, It is the ego that goes on dominating you, it is the ego that really makes you a slave, So on the surface dropping the ego looks like surrendering to god. But what are you surrendering? --

You are simply surrendering your disease. And by surrendering it you become whole, you become holy.

Nirakar, the formless.

God has no form, although all forms are his. This paradox becomes possible only because he has no form. If he had any particular form then he could not have all the forms. He is liquid, utterly liquid. Because he is formless he can move into all forms, he can take on all forms, and yet he is not exhausted by the

forms.

He is inexhaustible energy.

Matter has form, energy has no form -- and God is energy. In fact matter is an illusion. It exists not, it is only an appearance. This has been said by the mystics for centuries but now scientists have agreed to it, on scientific grounds too, that matter does not exist. It is only energy moving with such speed that you can't see the movement; hence you feel as if nothing is moving. It is like an electric fan going at full speed: you can't see its blades. But that is nothing. The speed with which the energy is moving is tremendous. It is the speed of light: one-hundred- and-eighty-six-thousand miles per second. With such tremendous speed, disappearance of matter arises. You can see the wall because you can't see the movement of the atoms, but in fact there is no matter.

Friedrich Nietzsche has declared "God is dead," hoping that science would prove that there is no God.

But within one hundred years, just the opposite has happened: God is not dead, but matter is dead. Matter is not even dead, it is no more. From modern science the concept of matter has disappeared, and God is fully alive, more alive than ever.

Nirakar means look into forms for the formless, seek and search for the formless

-- both outside and inside. You also don't have any form; look within and search for the formless. The day you contact the formless is the greatest day of your life. After that experience, after that impact, one is never the same again; then all values change, all visions change. You start living on a totally different plane: the plane of deathlessness, the plane of timelessness. You enter into eternity. And to be part of eternity is the enquiry, the intrinsic enquiry of every being. Unless it is fulfilled one remains in a deep anguish, in deep discontent.

Query:-

And this can be fulfilled -- it is our birthright -- because we are it. Darshano means a vision.

God is not a belief but a vision. To believe in God is absolutely nonsensical. It is like a blind man believing in light or a deaf person believing in music: they can't conceive what they are believing in, they can't even imagine it. Their beliefs are deceptions to themselves, they are self-deceptions. All believers are deceivers. They are deceiving others, but that is not so important: they are deceiving themselves too, which is far more important.

God has to be an experience. and my whole effort is not to give you a doctrine but to help you to wake up. to help you so that you can open your eyes and see on your own.

Pritamo.

God has not to be approached through logic but through love. To approach him through logic is to miss him. The sure way to miss God is logic. It prohibits, it hinders; God cannot be caught in a logical net. The logical net is too crude -- and God is so subtle. He is not like a fish, he is more like water. You can catch the fish in the net but not the water, the water will escape.

The only way to know God is through love, and remember I say: the only way. Because it is only love that opens your heart to the beauty of existence, to the grandeur of all that is. and that grandeur is God. The glory of existence is God.

There is a constant celebration going on: it is dance -- beginningless, endless. But are hearts are closed, and we go on thinking about God through the head. The head is the wrong place. As far as God is concerned, be headless! That's what sannyas is all about: dropping your head. and you can see here so many headless people running all around.

-- How long will you be here?

-- Till the end of December.

-- That's good. We will do our best to destroy, to cut your head off! Next time... come again, because if surgery remains half completed it is dangerous. If only half your head is cut off and then you go away, you will be neither there nor

here! Next time come for a longer period. Scriptures in Silence and Sermons in Stones Chapter #25
