सहज स्वीकार ही जीवन जीने का सर्वश्रेष्ठ तरीक़ा है। सहज स्वीकार , यानि परमात्मा का स्वीकार , परमात्मा यानि जीवन , जीवन का स्वीकार , जैसा भी है, वैसा ही। जीवन के स्वीकार में ही आनन्द है, जीवन का विरोध यानि विषाद, महादुख, नर्क ।

The Real Thing that Matters Is Love

 

“As I see it, out of a hundred marriages ninety-nine marriages are just licensed prostitution. They are not marriages. A marriage is only a real marriage when it grows out of love. Legal, illegal, does not matter. The real thing that matters is love.

 

“If love exists between two persons, it is blessed. If love does not exist between two persons, then all your laws put together cannot bridge them. Then they exist separate, then they exist apart, then they exist in conflict, then they exist always in war. And they create all kinds of trouble for each other. They are nasty to each other, nagging to each other, possessive of each other, violent, oppressive, dominating, dictatorial.”

अस्तित्व के सभी आयाम स्त्रैण और पुरुष में बांटे जा सकते हैं। स्त्री और पुरुष का विभाजन केवल यौन-विभाजन, सेक्स डिवीजन नहीं है। लाओत्से के हिसाब से स्त्री और पुरुष का विभाजन जीवन की डाइलेक्टिक्स है, जीवन का जो द्वंद्वात्मक विकास है, जो डाइलेक्टिकल एवोल्यूशन है, उसका अनिवार्य हिस्सा है।

शरीर के तल पर ही नहीं, स्त्री और पुरुष मन के तल पर भी भिन्न हैं। अस्तित्व जिन-जिन अभिव्यक्तियों में प्रकट होता है, वहां-वहां स्त्री और पुरुष का भेद होगा। लेकिन जो बात ध्यान रखने जैसी है लाओत्से को समझते समय, वह यह है कि पुरुष अस्तित्व का क्षणिक रूप है और स्त्री अस्तित्व का शाश्वत रूप है। जैसे सागर में लहर उठती है। लहर का उठना क्षणिक है। लहर नहीं थी, तब भी सागर था; और लहर नहीं होगी, तब भी सागर होगा। स्त्रैणता अस्तित्व का सागर है। पुरुष का अस्तित्व क्षणिक है।मन के संबंध में भी, जैसे शरीर के संबंध में स्त्री और पुरुष के बुनियादी भेद हैं, वैसे ही मन के संबंध में भी हैं। पुरुष के चिंतन का ढंग तर्क है। इसे ठीक से समझ लेना जरूरी होगा, क्योंकि लाओत्से के सारे विचार का आधार इस पर है। पुरुष के सोचने का ढंग तर्क है, उसका मेथड तर्क है। स्त्री के सोचने का ढंग तर्क नहीं है। उसके सोचने का ढंग बहुत इल्लॉजिकल है, बहुत अतार्किक है। उसे हम अंतर्दृष्टि कहें, इंटयूशन कहें, कोई और नाम दें, लेकिन स्त्री के सोचने के ढंग को तर्क नहीं कहा जा सकता। तर्क की अपनी व्यवस्था है। इसलिए जहां भी पुरुष सोचेगा, वहां गणित, तर्क और नियम होगा। और जहां भी स्त्री सोचेगी, वहां न गणित होगा, न तर्क होगा; सीधे निष्कर्ष होंगे, कनक्लूजंस होंगे। इसलिए स्त्री और पुरुष के बीच बातचीत नहीं हो पाती।।

"When you are ready, the whole universe begins to help you. There is no need to ask for any astral help, there is no need to go anywhere, help is always being given - a need is always fulfilled. But one has to be ready, one has to be in a state of mind where universal forces can help you. So it is not a positive search, because you cannot seek astral help; help depends on your receptivity, your readiness.

Higher forces are present everywhere, every moment. This very moment you are surrounded by both higher forces and lower forces, but you are receptive only to the lower.

You can either be open to higher forces or you can be open to lower forces; you cannot be open to both. The very mechanism of consciousness is such that if you are open to the lower you will be closed to the higher, and if you are open to the higher you will automatically become closed to the lower. We have only one opening, so it is your choice in which direction to move.

The first thing to be understood is how to be closed to lower forces and how to be open to higher forces. Higher forces are always there, but they cannot work unless you cooperate with them, unless you give yourself to them. The moment you are open to them the work begins - when the doors are open, the sun can come in. Your doors are closed. The sun is there, this very moment it is knocking on the door, but you are in darkness. You will remain in darkness not because the sun is not there but because your doors are closed. You have not invited the sun, you are not receptive to it. You are still not prepared to be a host - the invitation has not been sent.

How can one become closed to the lower forces and open to the higher forces? We are not even aware that we are open to the lower forces and yet we are in search of higher forces that can work on us....

For example, when someone loves you, you are always suspicious, always doubtful of it. Is the love true or not? Are you really loved or not? Is the person being authentic or deceptive? When someone is angry you never doubt whether he is really angry or just being deceptive, whether he is playing a role or is authentic. There is no doubt. It is always taken for granted that anger is authentic, but love is never taken for granted. You always believe the lower; you have a deep-rooted faith in the lower.

Remember, faith is the opening. Faith means trust, and whatever you believe in, you are open to.

An untrusting mind is closed because it is afraid. But unless you trust you will remain closed." ~

 WHEN PEOPLE GIVE IMPORTANCE TO YOU, watch how the ego arises, how it starts taking possession of you.

They are giving you an opportunity, use it as a meditation device. Sometimes they will not give you importance,they may even insult you; so then too, watch it how your ego feels hurt.

The feeling of being hurt or the feeling of being fulfilled in the ego is the same, it is the

same wound! The only thing that is needed is to be watchful, to be alert about it. The more watchful you are, the less ego there will be. And when the alertness is almost like a light inside you, then whether people insult you or praise you makes no difference.In being watchful the ego becomes ridiculous.
