So you have started listening to me

The second question:
I don't understand what you say, but while sitting alone or in discourse something happens to me and tears start coming out of my eyes. What is this all, oh my master?
So you have started listening to me. That is the way to listen to me: through tears. That is the way to listen to me: through love, through the heart. Pulsate with me, let my words be drowned in your tears. You will not be at a loss, because what I am saying is not important. Far more important is some other energy surrounding those words that reach you.
Don’t pay too much attention to the words. If your heart is open, the energy will be released into the heart. My words are just carriers, they are containers. The content is utterly different; the content is diametrically opposite. The container is the word, but the content is a wordless silence. It is my love.
The word is just a capsule. The capsule is not the medicine; the medicine is inside it. Forget about the capsule, drink me. And the best way to drink is to be with tears, because then you participate, then you come very, very close.
Those tears are indicative that your heart starts pulsating with me, that there are moments when you start breathing just in tune with me – then suddenly those tears will arise. Those tears are symbolic; they are like flowers.
Rejoice!
