to the seekers of truth: part two
a question of becoming
There are barriers within us,
built in, not because of anything else,
but only because we have misled ourselves.
We have been going to various roads of seeking, whatever suited us. Wherever we
went to, we have tried to find something and we have injured ourselves. Within ourselves
sometimes, we have built up certain barriers.
Now when you become the prophet, actually you become your own master. You
become a free person. You have to be a free person. So far you are not. You cannot overcome your own weaknesses, your own temptations, infatuations, emotional problems,
mental worries. Why? Because you are still standing in the waves of this turmoil, this
troubled area where you just see the waves all the time and you are frightened of breaking
down. But if you somehow or other get out of it and get into the boat of your own being,
then you enjoy. You become a witness, a sakshi.
Even to understand the scriptures, you have to be a free person, which you are not.
You have to be your own master. For that, you cannot pay me.
To get your freedom of the spirit, you can’t pay because money is money. Money has
no value in the divine field. Nothing can bring this forth but your own ascent. And how
do we ascend? Is there anything built within us?
The knowledge of the roots
Whatever I am telling you is the knowledge of the roots. What we see is the knowledge of
the tree. We see it from outside. We see a leaf from outside. If we have to treat the leaf, we
have to go to the roots. But from outside, when we see the tree, we are still outside also.
When you have to treat the leaf, you have to go to the roots. If you block out the leaf, it
is dead. Then you put it under the microscope. You can go on seeing cells. After that, you
can see the nucleus. You can go on analyzing it and analyzing it, making it dead, dead
and dead and dead. But to treat it, you have to go to the roots. And this knowledge of the
roots we have here.
