Tears are one of the most beautiful things in the world, so enjoy them and remain fragile, because
if you are fragile then you are available to god. You are soft, you are porous. You function like a
sponge and god is soaked in.
When you are hard, nothing enters – and we have been taught to be
hard so that nothing enters. The hardness is part of our defense. We are afraid: that’s why we are
hard. So when you start feeling not afraid, you become fragile.
It is fear that has made people like rocks – very stiff, hard, non-vulnerable – because they are afraid
that somebody may enter, somebody’s love, and some tenderness may surface. They have been
taught not to allow anything to enter, because if something enters, you are no more in control, so you protect yourself.
