Love happens only when you are not there.
Love happens only when you are surrendered to existence.
Then there is a great orgasmic experience.
Then you reach to the very peak of your being, and you look at existence from the top-most peak of the Himalayas; you look from the GOURISHANKAR.
Then a totally different vision arises, and that vision transforms your life.
So when you come to me, be ready to lose control, be ready to lose yourself.
That is the whole purpose of coming; otherwise, don't come.
Even if you ask something, don't ask out of your knowledge.
Your asking should also be out of your love.
Your asking should also be how to go deeper in the mystery — not how to demystify it, not how to explain it, but how to move deeper and deeper into the eternally unexplained — because that's what God is.
So have a little taste of God with me. Allow me to be a door.
It will be difficult for you to face God directly, the Whole, because it will be too much, too dazzling.
You cannot look at the sun directly; it will destroy your eyes.
That's the meaning of a Master: he gives you God in quantities that you can bear.
He gives you God in homeopathic doses, and he goes on increasing the dosage, by and by.
The more you become capable of absorbing, the more he gives to you.
One day, when you are ready to face the sun directly, he simply disappears.
He is no longer between you and God.
It is just as you start learning swimming: first you learn in shallow water, just on the bank.
It's natural, it is intelligible, it is practical. Then as you are becoming more and more capable, you start moving towards the deeper parts of the river. One day you are ready to go into the ocean.
When you come to me, allow me to be there rather than insisting for your own presence.
You dissolve; let me be there. You open your doors and windows and allow me to pass through you. Much will happen that way.
Nothing is going to happen through your questions because they are nothing of worth — irritations in the mind. But I always see that whenever people feel full of awe, they start defending themselves. Then they undo the whole purpose.
Don't defend. If you defend, then how am I going to help you? — there is no way. I cannot help you against you; I can help you only with your deep cooperation. If you participate, only then can the journey start.
But many times I have felt it — many people would like to go on the journey, but when it starts, they start clinging to the place where they are standing. They don't want to lose their ground; but then, how can the journey start? You have to go on losing that which you have to attain that which you don't have.
