You have traveled long;
not only in physical space but also in the inner space
you have traveled long.
Many, many lives you have been traveling towards this point;
you have desired it
and now when the point has come nearer
you become afraid.
The fear is natural.
Understand it, don't let it overpower you.
Take a jump,
and that jump will not only be a death
it will be a rebirth.
OSHO
When you come to a master you cannot dominate him, you cannot fight with him.
So fear is deeper because of that, because you cannot create any politics. Either you have to escape or merge, no other alternative is there.
If you escape, from your very deep source of being you hear you are doing wrong; if you escape you will have to come back. If you come closer, the mind says: Where are you going? If you go closer still you may be burned.
And it is right, the ego is right: The flame is there and if you come closer you will be burned. Conflict will be created; inner tension, anguish will be created.
You can delay, that's all, sooner or later you will have to merge; no river can escape the ocean. Once you have come closer you have come, and there is no way to go back. No way exists for going back.
You are here. You have traveled long; not only in physical space but also in the inner space you have traveled long. Many, many lives you have been traveling towards this point; you have desired it and now when the point has come nearer you become afraid.
The fear is natural. Understand it, don't let it overpower you. Take a jump, and that jump will not only be a death it will be a rebirth.
