WE BUILD A HOUSE
WE GO INSIDE
We have evolved from amoeba to this stage. We are human beings.
Our evolution has come through our attention fixed outside. The
happening has to go inside, but the evolution so far has been by
going outside just as some fish felt the land and tried to crawl out and
so they became the reptiles. The reptiles wanted to run fast, so they
developed four legs as a tortoise. As animals they could not eat, so
they raised their heads. Things at a height they could not see, so they
raised their body more.
So all the evolution so far has come only through the urge of seeking,
but it has been outside. We have been seeking food. As human beings
we are seeking power. We have been seeking money, possessions,
comfort. But now the seeking has to go within.
For example, when we are building a house, we build all the outside
and everything properly. When it is all done outside then, you go inside
and start decorating. In the same way, you have to go inside to achieve
ABC
the last breakthrough. We have made a fortress for ourselves and we
have to enter inside the fortress to enjoy it. We have to penetrate inside
the house to enjoy it. But our attention is outside. We cannot go inside.
