Words from the Master

When you move on with complete trust, you cannot worry. This is real prayer. Prayer is not pouring out all your worries and asking for a solution. Prayer is placing complete trust upon Existence and feeling it work for you.

So don’t listen with your intellect. Learn to listen with deep meditation. Whatever may be your emotion or path at that point in time, just go deep into it and listen to me. That is enough. You will automatically be filled with energy and made stronger. These are all the basic secrets that I am giving you.

When you cling to my words, you will be worried that you might forget them. You will start jotting them down. I tell you, the moment you start jotting down, you will miss the whole thing. You will neither have absorbed the energy behind my words nor would you have completely taken down my words. You will go home with the scribbled notes and a few days later, even that will be lying in some corner of your house. Sometime later, even if you find them, you will not be able to make head or tail out of them.

It is something like this: Let us say you read a book and retained only the last two pages of it in your hand. With just those two pages, can you recompile the whole book? No! In the same way, don’t try to jot down a few of my words and try to recollect the whole thing. Just be present completely when I am talking. That is enough.

Stop worrying about forgetting my words. My words will penetrate you and do their work if you give me your whole presence. The transformation is what is important, not my words. Listen with your Being, not with your mind. When you understand and the transformation happens, you will never forget. If you have forgotten, it means that you have not understood.

Not just my words, don’t cling on to anything. Every moment is going past; then what is there to cling? Clinging will bring misery upon misery. There is no point in thinking about the future also. It is yet to come. What are you thinking about? The future will also come in the form of present only. So focus on the present.

You see, when you are in the present, you don’t choose at all. Worry basically arises because you are choosing all the time. When you decide not to choose at all and just totally accept and drink in the whole experience, all worries will simply disappear. You choose because you identify yourself as something solid. You feel compelled to choose all the time. It is nothing but a play of your ego. Understand that.
