to the seekers of truth: part nine

the religion within

When you start expanding yourself

you start feeling your own mind

– the peace, the bliss of your own mind.

Many times you will find there is no thought, but the joy is just bursting in and you
just think why has it happened. “Suddenly, how did I get this?” Gradually the state of joy
starts increasing in its frequency and you become joy. That is what one has to achieve. To
become the joy is important. And once you become that joy, it is not a duality. It is not a
thing in which you feel the happiness and unhappiness, but you feel the joy.
Joy is a witness. It is a kind of a power of a witness which sees a drama. By seeing
the drama, whether tragedy or comedy, it is at a point where you are just a witness and
enjoying it.
In the same way, you will see so-called the comedies and tragedies of your life and the
futility of your nonsensical endeavours and you will laugh at it, “Oh, that’s it, that’s me.”
There is a higher being who sees all this and is giving you a drama of yourself, projecting
it through you that this is what you are. “See yourself.”

The power of wisdom

The capacity to see the drama, that is what we develop. That is the mental capacity to
which we rise with Self Realization. You start seeing, through and through, the mockery
of all this kind of seriousness and the hypocrisy and the way people who are stupid try to
give you stupid ideas. And once you are realized, you laugh at yourself, “Oh God, I was
so stupid.” That is what should happen. If that does not happen, your Self Realization has
no meaning.
The righteousness and the virtues become part and parcel of your being. It is not that
you have to be told anything – you just should not do it. It is beyond your self-respect
because you respect your Self, you respect your spirit. How can you do such a thing? You
cannot despise yourself, can you? You just become virtuous. You may be kind to others.
Even if they are not virtuous, you can be nice to them. You can forgive them, but as far as
you are concerned, there is no compromise. And you enjoy your virtues. You enjoy your

You become religious.

You become the guru yourself.

As Lao-Tse said, when a wise man sees the way, he respects it and says this is the way.
That is the sign of a wise man. And a mediocre, who is half this way and that way, when
he sees the way, he waits for others to go into it. And when the stupid sees the way, he
laughs. But when the wise sees the stupid in himself, he laughs.
So that power of wisdom starts shining through you. You become a wise, righteous,
virtuous man. Such a balanced and integrated person you become that whatever you do
is good for your spirit and for the spirit of others.

That which is good for the spirit
