forget everything else, including yourself!
Only then will you come to know
the music that has no sound.
When the morning sun rises, bow down to the earth
and lose yourself in homage to it.
Only then will you know of the music
that is not made by man.
When the trees burst into flowers, like a flower dance with them
in the breeze.
Only then will you hear the music
that lives in one’s innermost self.
He who knows this music knows life too – its song
is another word for God.
95. Love.
Don’t float with the current of thoughts,
just be aware of them.
Know that you are separate from them, distinct, distant, just an
observer.
Just watch the flow of thoughts like traffic,
watch them as you watch the dry leaves
flying everywhere in the fall.
Don’t be the one who makes them happen,
don’t be the one to whom they happen.
Then the rest takes place by itself.
This rest is what I call meditation.
96. Love.
This is a good beginning to the struggle
and I am glad to have pushed you into it.
Sannyas is a challenge to the world, a fundamental declaration
of freedom.
To live in freedom every moment is sannyas.
Now, insecurity will always be with you,
but that is a fact of life.
The only certainty is death; life is insecurity,
and that is its joy and its beauty.
To be locked in security is suicide,
a living death effected by one’s own hand.
Such living-dead are everywhere.
They have turned the world into a graveyard, and they number
amongst them many celebrated corpses.
They all have to be awakened, though for their part
they are trying to put back to sleep even those who are awake.
Now the struggle will go on and on.
In it your total resolution will be born.
Far off I see your destination – the other shore.
97. Love.
I was traveling, then on my return, there was your letter.
You can meet friends of Jeevan Jagruti Kendra and begin working
for Yuvak Kranti Dal (Revolutionary Youth Force).
There are no rules about it – there can never be rules in revolution.
There needs to be an awakening of understanding among the youth,
with scientific studies replacing blind faith – this is all I wish for.
Do meet me this time when I come to Indore.
Everything is fine.
My regards to everyone there.
98. Love.
My work is only God’s work;
apart from this there is neither me nor mine.
No other work exists apart from his.
