Words from the Master

Just encounter every moment with openness. Don’t have any preconceived notions. If you live like this, nothing will be mundane to you. You will then see that even your own wife whom you have been living with everyday is so fresh and enjoyable.

When this becomes your attitude, there is every possibility that the other person feels the openness in you and opens out to you in more enjoyable ways. It then becomes a positive cycle where you move from freshness to freshness every moment. Then there is only freshness everywhere; nothing is stale!

When you live with ego, you need some paraphernalia, some support, some people around you all the time. This support is what gives you your identity. Without that, you are nobody. A king is a king only when he has his kingdom. On the other hand, a Paramahamsa is a man, who needs nothing and sleeps when he stretches his leg and eats when he stretches his hand! He simply follows the flow of Existence. He is a realized soul and is a king unto himself. He needs no kingdom!

But when you become a Paramahamsa, a great kingdom will automatically form around you, but you will be neither touched nor tainted by it. Only the weak ones create a kingdom for themselves and derive their support and strength from it. Only the weak need the status to support them, their ego to support them. For a Paramahamsa, his ‘state’ will do everything for him; he will be untouched by the status that surrounds him.
