1) Every day people
say they are only working for a living, I said don't worry I will give you
shelter, I will give you food every day, no problem all you have to do is I
want to see tears of blissfulness every day that's all the requirement. You
don't have to do any work you don't have to serve me, you don't have to produce
anything, nothing just sit here blissfully will feed. You will worship, you so
the problem is not in your work, the problem is not in your life, the problem
is not in the world that you live, the problem is just that you have not done
the necessary things for this one to flow, through this effortlessly
beautifully the necessary work has not been done and we are just hoping it will
happen by accident.
2) It doesn't happen
by accident, a lot of people in the world think United States of America is
heaven but people who live here don't think so at all. Isn't it so sure a lot
of people in the world are dying to get an entry into the country, you open up
the southern borders, ten million people will enter tomorrow morning because
they think this is heaven but you are not experiencing it that way. Isn't it
you are not experiencing this as heaven because hell and heaven is not a
geographical place, hell in heaven is what you make out of your South, isn't it
too much talk about heaven has been going on because there are too many people
who made a hell out of themselves. If you had made a heaven out of yourself,
would you talk about going to heaven if you sit here and you're feeling
ecstatic right now would you ask pyre to go to heaven. I'm asking once it
happened early 20th century, Oh an Orthodox Greek Church a bishop from that
church you know art-rock Greeks have their own separate church.
3) They have their own Pope who lives in Turkey, you know this so our
Bishop from this order had heard so much about Indian mysticism. And he wanted
to go to India but he never got around to make it because he had to serve the
cloth that he wore and after 60 years of age when he semi-retired. He got the
opportunity and went to India so he came to South India near where we are and
he wanted to meet a mystic yogi. So, somebody's hand go up this mountain near a
cave there is a yogi sitting you can go so our man went clotted up the mountain
halfway up and went in front of a cave. An old man with a gentle smile upon his
face was just sitting with his eyes closed so the bishop went and prostrated he
cannot do it he is not made for that but they had told him. If you go to India
you have to crawl he prostrated like this and with all his four limbs he got up
the yogi looked at him with amusement obviously he is never prostrated anywhere
before and he smiled then the bishops head, I am like this I am a bishop I have
served in the church for so long but I have a few questions, can you answer.
4) Yogi smiled and
said yes please whatever the question then the bishop asked what is life at the
age of sixty, what is life so the yogi closed his eyes became very blissful and
sad life is like the fragrance of a jasmine on the spring breeze and tears of
blissfulness flow out of his eyes as you were saying this then the bishop said
no our Pope has told us life is like a thorn and we must renounce it and even
symbolically Jesus himself wore a crown of thorns. So, how come you say this
our Pope says otherwise the yogi looked at him smiled and said well that's his
life so what'd you make out of it is not because of where you are what you are.
It is just what you make out of it, isn't it, so have you created the necessary
mechanism, have you created the necessary system, have you created the
necessary ingredients within you to make this like the fragrance of jasmine on
a spring breeze. And not at all if it's a torn we must pluck the damn thing out
isn't it.
