have to talk nice nonsense to console them. For no reasons these tender
sweet little girls and boys will have to know early enough, how
controversy and cruel life can be. My experience and therefore my
opinion: The ones, who escape and avoid this tough, harsh, hard reality,
cultivate illusions and sweet little lies. When these tender kids never
grow up they remain retarded until the hammer comes down! But now lets
enjoy nice nonsense to bring our beautiful babies in bed to dream for
the next 1000 days, years and lifes:
Because I am so
certain about it, that's why I can play -- that's why I can say, "Look
for a living master." I AM SO CERTAIN ABOUT YOU. My trust is
absolute about you -- that's why I can say, "When I am gone, don't be
bothered with me: look for a living master."
But if you have loved me, I will live for you forever. IN YOUR LOVE I
WILL LIVE. If you have loved me, my body will disappear but I cannot die
for you. But I can assert much nonsense because I know your love: I
trust it.
WHEN A MASTER SAYS, "Don't go to anybody. Cling to me. Even when I am
gone, go on continuously with me. Don't move anywhere" -- that
simply means he does not trust you. He is afraid, he has doubts --
he knows that once he is gone, you will be gone. In fact, he knows
that even while he is alive, you will be gone. He protects; he says, "Don't
go to anybody else. I am the only one." He is very
monopolistic. He is so doubtful, that his marriage with his
disciples is a sort of monogamy. He's afraid.
HE IS AFRAID because the divorce is possible -- he is afraid of it,
and wants to protect in every way so that it is not going to happen. He
will say, "Never worship anybody, never love anybody, never revere
anybody, never listen to anybody, never go to anybody -- just look at
me, and forget the whole world. Exclusively love me."
I don't say to you that. I know: EVEN IF I AM GONE, I KNOW YOU WILL
SEARCH FOR ME. Yes, I can trust you will hunt for me in every stone and
flower, in every eye and star...
And I can promise you one thing: IF YOU HUNT FOR ME, YOU WILL FIND
ME... in every star and in every eye... because if you have really loved
a master, you have moved into eternity with him. The relationship
is not of time, it is timeless.
THERE IS GOING TO BE NO DEATH. My body will disappear, your body will
disappear -- that will not make any change. If the disappearance of the
body makes any change, that simply shows that love had not happened.
LOVE IS SOMETHING BEYOND THE BODY. Bodies come and go, love remains.
Love has eternity in it -- timelessness, deathlessness. That's why,
Seeta -- the question is from Seeta -- that's why sometimes I can
talk nonsense. I know you will find the sense even in my nonsense.
I know you will understand, you will not misunderstand -- that's
why.
