DON’T WASTE TIME IN DOUBTS AND ARGUMENTS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS.
ONE THING, ALL THINGS: MOVE AMONG AND INTERMINGLE, WITHOUT DISTINCTION.
TO LIVE IN THIS REALIZATION IS TO BE WITHOUT ANXIETY ABOUT NON-PERFECTION.
TO LIVE IN THIS FAITH IS THE ROAD TO NON-DUALITY, BECAUSE THE NON-DUAL IS ONE
WITH THE TRUSTING MIND.
VERY VERY SIGNIFICANT WORDS, and more significant if you can look beyond the words.
ONE THING, ALL THINGS: MOVE AMONG AND INTERMINGLE...
Life is an organic unity. Nothing is divided, everything is one. If you think it is divided, divisions are
mind enforced. Otherwise everything intermingles, melts, merges into the other. It is happening all
the time. You don’t see it because you have become completely blind with words.
You eat a fruit; the fruit becomes your blood. The tree has mingled in you, the boundary is lost.
And this fruit may have remained in many people’s blood before, many animals, many plants, many
rocks. This energy that is the fruit has been there always in existence – melting, merging, emerging,
moving from this to that, passing all boundaries.
Just watch any phenomenon. The fruit on the tree, what is it doing? Scientists say that the fruit is
doing a miracle. It is transforming the earth, it is transforming the sunrays, it is transforming water.
It is a miracle, because you cannot eat earth, you cannot eat sunrays directly. This fruit, an apple, is
doing a miracle. It is transforming everything and making it so that you can absorb it and it becomes
your blood.
And this energy has been moving because it has always been there. The whole of the energy
remains the same, because there is nowhere else to go, so the energy cannot be less OR more.
Nothing is added to the universe, and nothing can be deleted. Where will you take it away? The
whole remains the same.
One day the fruit was just in the earth, you could not have eaten it. The fruit was in the sun, the D
vitamin was in the sun. Now the fruit has absorbed it, now the earth has transformed – a miracle
is happening! Why go to a magician to see a miracle? It is happening: the dirt has changed into a
delicious food.
And you eat it, it becomes your blood. Your blood is churning continuously, it creates semen. Now a
seed is born, it becomes a small child. Now the fruit, the apple, has moved to the child. Where are
the boundaries? The tree moves in you, the sun moves in the tree, the ocean moves into the tree,
you move in the child and this goes on...
Everything is moving. The breath that is within you will be in me a little later. And the breath is life,
so your life and my life cannot be different, because the same breath you breathe I breathe. I exhale,
you inhale it; you exhale, I inhale it.
Your heart and my heart cannot be very different. They are breathing and beating the same ocean
of vitality around. I call this my breath, but by the time I have called it, it is no more mine – it has
moved, it has changed the house, now it is somebody else’s breath. What you call your life is not
yours. It is nobody’s – or it is everybody’s.
When somebody looks at reality, then he sees that the whole is an organic unity. The sun is working
for you, the ocean is working for you, the stars are working for you. The people milling around the
world are working for you and you are working for them. You will die and worms will eat your body,
you will become their food.
You are getting ready, ripe, to die, to become food for somebody else. And this has to be so –
because you have made so many things your food, finally you have to become their food. Everything
is food for somebody else. It is a chain... and you want to cling to life. And the apple, it also wants
to cling to the life; and the wheat, the wheat also wants to remain itself. Then life will cease.
Life lives through death. You die here, somebody becomes alive there; I exhale, somebody inhales.
Just like a rhythmic exhalation, inhalation, is life and death. Life is inhalation, death is exhalation.
When you are ripe you will fall down on the earth. Then the worms will eat you and the birds of
prey will come and they will enjoy you. You enjoyed many foods, now you will be enjoyed in turn.
Everything melts, meets, merges. So why be worried? This is going to happen, this is already
happening. Only the whole lives, individuals are false. Only the ultimate lives – all else are just
waves in it, they come and they go.
When one sees reality just in front of the nose, suddenly there is no problem, no anxiety, because
the whole goes on living whether you live or not. Your death is not a problem then, your life is also
not a problem then. You will live in the whole in many many millions of ways.
Sometimes you will be a fruit... that is the meaning of the Hindu concept of millions of YONIS.
Sometimes you were an animal and sometimes you were an insect and sometimes you were a tree
and sometimes you were a rock – and life goes on.
So you are nobody, in a sense, and you are everybody in another sense. You are empty in one
sense and you are full in another sense. You are not in one sense, and you are the all in another
sense – because you are not separate.
Separation brings anxiety. If you are anxious, in anguish, that means you are thinking you are
separate – you are unnecessarily creating problems for yourself. There is no need, because the
whole goes on living; the whole never dies, it cannot die. Only parts die – but that death is not really
a death, it is a rebirth. Here you die, there you are born.
