Awareness is enough to bring this about, but that awareness is not enough in you. Awareness is enough to bring it about. If it is not coming that means that awareness is not enough in you, and what you call awareness may be nothing but thinking about it, otherwise the explosion will come.

You go on thinking about things, and when you think, you think it is the real thing. There are people who think they love, there are people who think they are aware, there are people who think that they are in meditation – but these are all thinking, not lived experiences. Then the explosion will not happen. Otherwise it has to happen. If it is not happening know well you are not aware – you are simply thinking you are aware.

And why be so anxious about the explosion? You have moved into the future. Only thinking moves into the future, awareness never. Awareness is always herenow. I use the word herenow as one word, they are one. Awareness is herenow. The moment you have started thinking about the future, are anxious about the future, worried about the result, you are not aware. Only thinking is worried about the result. Life is totally unworried about the result. The result is not the point at all.

You love a person and you think about the result, what is going to happen out of it? If you think, you have not loved; if you love, you never think of the result. It is enough unto itself, there is no going anywhere.

If you meditate, meditation is so beautiful, who bothers about the result? And if you bother about the result, meditation is not possible. This result-oriented mind is the only barrier, the only block. There are not many blocks; the only block is that of the result-oriented mind. Never herenow, always somewhere else thinking of the result: while making love, thinking about the result.

In the West, they have destroyed even the beautiful phenomenon of love, because now there are books that are giving you clues and concepts about results. While making love, people are thinking whether an orgasm is going to happen or not. You have stopped it, it cannot happen now because with this mind, orgasm is impossible. Orgasm is a no-mind state. It happens when the mind is not there, it happens when you are totally in the moment.

Because of so many people in the West thinking about orgasm, more and more books are published on how to attain it. The more books are published, the less possible it becomes to attain. Then more books are needed. This is how supply and demand go on in a vicious circle. It seems within twenty-five years, this century – we will all be there to see it. When this century ends, the West will have become completely incapable of orgasm because when you think, thinking functions as a barrier. And then you start manipulating. I have come across books titled, How to Make Love. Can you think of anything more foolish? Love is being transformed into a technique; then love also becomes a know-how.

Love or God are not techniques. They are not things to do; they are ways of being, not ways of doing. And the way of being insists on only one condition to be fulfilled, and that is that you be totally there. Why think about the results?What is wrong in the present moment? Right now what is lacking? I am here, you are there, the trees are happy, the sky is beautiful, what is lacking? How can there be more perfection than there is right this moment? Everything is perfect as it is.

But your mind says no, many things have to be done, then you can become perfect. This is the disease, the cancerous growth in the mind about the result, about improving things, about doing better. Everything is perfect, you need not be perfectionists. You will only mess things up more, you cannot improve upon them. Just try to be in the present, relax in the present and let the future take its own course.

Don’t be end-oriented. Let the means be the end. Let the way be the goal.
