The easiest way to eternal bliss

IF I asked you, ’what did you eat for breakfast,’ some of you might be able to mention a few things that you ate. But if I asked you how each dish really tasted, you would have no answer.

The truth is that you are always in a hurry. Your tongue never tastes when you eat. Your eyes never see when you look. Your ears never listen when you hear. Your body never feels when you touch.

Consider the simplest of things you do. Shaking hands with people or visitors. How many times you shake your hands in a dead way? For you it has become a mechanical action. Your hand is practically a dead man’s hand. Your handshake is a dead man’s handshake. Remember, that all you do is to stretch your hands but never your being. Never has your inner being penetrated through it.

How does one do anything from one’s being? The answer is simple. Be in truth. When you live in truth, if you are truthful, there is no need to prepare a script, hold a mental rehearsal, or decide how to say something to another person. Consider the many ways in which you lie everyday. When there is no truth in you, it will reflect in your actions. That is the simple reason why love affairs often end in failure. How long can you continue to act out? How long can you keep on preparing? How many times? How many days? How many times can you remember what you said the previous time? Not more than once, certainly.

You see the truth comes out eventually. A woman says you have cheated her. And you say she has cheated you. Both feel cheated by the other. In reality, nobody is cheating. It is just that your true nature or reality has emerged. Love affair is like a dye and powder. When you go in the rain, colour changes as the dye runs. Black comes here, and white goes there. How long can you maintain the pretence? Naturally the truth has to come out. The truth is out when you relax. When that happens you are in big trouble.

People ask me how I can speak for hours without any script, without any notes and certainly no Power Point presentations. I can because I speak from my being. I have no mind that filters what arises within.

When you fall in tune with the truth there is no need to remember anything. What you said before is irrelevant. There will be no problem of discordance. Then there will be no fear of having to create the script. You can continue to live as you are.

Live in truth. That is the easiest way to eternal bliss.
