Dear Friends,

In a world where mankind feels threatened by social upheavals, over population, wars, terrifying violence, callousness, each human being is more than ever concerned with his own survival.

Survival has implied living sanely, happily without great pressure or strain. Each one of us translates survival according to his own particular concept. The idealist projects a way of life which is not the actual; the theoreticians, whether Marxist, religious, or of any other particular persuasion have laid down patterns for survival; the nationalists consider survival possible only in a particular group or community. These ideologic differences, ideals and faiths are the roots of a division that is preventing human survival.

But unless you really speak the truth, you cannot develop this inner integrity to a great extent. What you say is easy, it lacks depth. But only when you start speaking the truth, you will really know what’s going inside, not otherwise. You will get to the depths of it, then the miracle happens. The miracle is, it will take you to the roots, and you will find: everything is empty. And therefore you will become free of it.

The joy that you would discover cannot be described. It does not matter what is there – can you see what is there? What is authenticity? – Seeing what is there. Understand, basically, inner integrity is seeing what is there, truth is speaking what you see. Not exactly being factual, that is only up to point. Truth becomes authenticity, external authenticity. First you see, then you speak about it. Seeing is one thing, speaking is an external thing. And if you speak, you will find the effect is unimaginable. Nothing you need, it’s all automatic thereafter. Try it out.

Every moment will be a joyous moment in your life. That’s enough, you will not ache for anything else in life. You won’t say: I want this, I want that – such joy in just seeing what is going on inside. That’s all there is to life. What is life? – See what is going on inside. Tell me how it is. Because you are not seeing it, you feel bored, you find life is meaningless, purposeless. Therefore you want this, you want that, so many desires you are creating. But if you were to actually see what is going on, there is such joy, you will not want anything else in life. You could be a beggar, you could be a leper, you could be sitting in the gutter, nothing will happen. You will just be enjoying every moment of your life. You don’t need money, no name, no fame, nothing, not even security. You wouldn’t be afraid of even dying also. And strangely, life would take care of you. All authentic people, they are taken care of by life or by God, whatever you want to call it. Inauthentic people will die.

If you are authentic and you don’t have food, food will come to you. Somehow it will happen. Somehow you will get a lift, and you will go where you want to go and life becomes miraculous. Because you are inauthentic, these things don’t happen to you in life. But again, don’t try to be authentic. Just really be authentic, only then miracles will happen, only then you will become a great being. Then the benediction comes on you, the blessing. All that we have spoken becomes truth.

Why is it that you people are stuck up? – Because you are untruthful, therefore inauthentic, therefore you have never really seen what is going on inside yourself, therefore you do external things to keep going.

 

Life is movement; an oscillation between order and disorder, light and shadow, the arising and the ceasing. In the natural course of things, order as it moves towards disorder would move you away from oneness towards division. As conscious beings you could use the power of the blessing to cause this flow to move back from division into oneness. In the human body, whenever there is an information disconnect between the various cells, it strays away from oneness. A return to oneness between the various systems of the human body is a return to health. In a family, whenever there is hurt and mistrust, it is a movement away from oneness. A healing of the heart and a flowering of love is the way to return to oneness. Within yourself, in moments of conflict between the right and the wrong, the right and the more – right there is inner disorder. There is a part of you, you deny; whose desires and voices you chose to ignore. This is inevitable and is part of life’s drama. Be that as it may, these splintered parts of yourself need to be healed; need to be accepted.

A return to oneness within is possible through the acceptance of life and the experience of oneself without resistance. As the universal forces bring about disorder, in the body, between the various personalities, in the family, in the comity of nations and the varied forms of life; there is an opportunity to raise life to a greater level of order and oneness. Remember therefore that every challenge that comes in the form of disorder and division is beckoning you towards a grater level of order and oneness. This oscillation is but a never-ending dance of creation. Therefore, let the blessing be received today with the intent of being aware of the patterns of order moving into disorder in every arena of life. A total and non-resistant awareness of these patterns is oneness.

Let me repeat. A total and non-resistant awareness of these patterns is oneness.
