You missed again!

The moment you ask how, you miss. There is a point, not to be realized but only to be recognized. And there is no “how” to it because it is already there; you have just to look, you have just to be in a silent space so that you can look.

You have to be just in a moment when you are not doing anything, not going anywhere, not trying to improve upon things – relaxed. In that pause, in that relaxation, it is there. It is a recognition; not a realization but a recognition, because deep down you are already that and you have always been that.

Ask how, and you miss again, because how means something has to be done about it. No method is needed, no path is needed, no technique is needed. All techniques and all paths and all methods have to be dropped.

You have to be in a state of utter silence so that you can hear the still small voice within you. It has been there all along, but you are so noisy with your desires that you cannot listen to your own music.

Don’t ask how, and drop all the methods that you have accumulated through asking how. Just fall into a silent space. It is a knack, not a technique. Looking at the morning sun rising, just sit silently and look; what is there to be done?

The moon is in the sky, just lie down on the grass and be there with the moon; and the white clouds floating…just be with them. And the birds are singing and the children playing…and you don’t do anything.

Be passive. In your passivity, God comes. Be feminine. In your femininity, God comes.

Have you not watched it? Buddha looks very feminine, Krishna looks very feminine. Why? – because it is simply a metaphor. They have been depicted as feminine, graceful, to show that that is their inner quality – receptivity.

When you are doing something you are being aggressive. When you are not doing anything you are non-aggressive. And God cannot be conquered; you can only allow him to conquer you.
