The mind knows only the tangible things which
are outside – running from one thing to another, looking for the eternal.
Wherever the mind is focused you are not happy. Today you want a house.
Tomorrow you will want a car. You will get the car and then so on and so on,
because nothing outside can really hold the mind. But once the mind has seen
the Light, once the mind has seen the Divine face-to-face, the mind gets
consumed into that Divine Love. For this, it doesn’t matter whether you are
here, whether you are at your place. It doesn’t matter what you are doing, but
it just needs the sincerity of your heart. Just that. Simple!
You see Yogis meditating, you see great
Sages meditating. Why? It’s because they have already come face-to-face with
that Divine and for them, seeing the world, they don’t see it the way people
see. They see it completely differently. That’s why if they have to explain
that to humans they will not understand. They prefer to run away to caves to
hide themselves. They say it’s better being in the cave and being with the Lord,
helping the world than being with people who will not understand anything. Man always wants to understand things
through the mind. Man always wants to know more and more. What will you do with
it? Do you think next life you will take it with you? Ah, forget about that!
All that you have studied in this life will be buried with you here. You will
not take it to the next life with you. The only thing that you will take is
what you are working on for your soul. That’s the only thing that you will take
with you and this, you will carry through lives. This is because when you are
spiritual in this life it’s because in the past you have already worked,
through many lives you have worked your way to be here. It’s not just that God
is saying “This one, I like his face. I will bring him on the spiritual path.”
It’s not like that. You
are here because in previous lives you have worked hard and this life you are
also working hard, but this time is different from other times, it’s a very
special time. All times are special, but at the moment we are living in a very
specific time where God is giving Himself to you, whereas in other times you
had to run towards Him. In this time He is running towards you.
