Your deepest responsibility….
“Your deepest responsibility is towards your own being. Everybody is dragged and manipulated., so nobody knows what is one’s destiny; what really you always wanted to do; you have forgotten. ……Everybody is displaced. Everybody is doing something that he never wanted to do. Hence unhappiness. Happiness happens when you fit with your life. When you fit so harmoniously that whatsoever you are doing is your joy. Then suddenly you will come to know meditation follows you…if you love the work that you are doing, if you love the way you are living, then you are meditative, then nothing distracts you…a real person takes the courage to moves with things that make him happy. If he remains poor, he remains poor, he has no complaint about it…. ….you forget intrinsic values of your life, your happiness, your joy, you delight…you always choose something of the outside and you bargain with something of the inside; you loose the within and gain the without…. …..if you can learn one thing with me, is to be alert, aware about your own inner motifs, about your own inner destiny, never lose sight of it, otherwise, you will be unhappy. … Be happy and meditation will follow, be happy and religion will follow. ……you have to decide for yourself, you have to take your life in your own hands, otherwise, life goes on knocking at your door and you are never there, you are always somewhere else. If you were going to be a dancer, life comes from that door, because life thinks you must be a dancer by now. It knocks there, but you are not there you are a banker. And how life is supposed to know that you will be a banker. God comes to you the way he wanted you to be. He knows only that address. But you are never there, hiding in somebody else mask,….how you expect God to find you, he goes on searching for you, he knows your name, but you have forgotten that name, he knows your address but you never lived at that address, you allowed the world to distract you. God can find you only in one way, and that is your inner flowering….. ..unless you find your spontaneity, unless you find your element, you can not be happy, and if you can not happy you can not be meditative…..”
