Evolution of love

*** Keep Quiet ***

When I speak about quietness -
when I tell you to keep quiet -
it is not easy for everyone to follow.

Most people here are from different
backgrounds, practices, sadhanas;
and therefore feel they need to do something,
to put something into practice.

When I say, "Keep quiet." it is not a practice.
There is nothing to be done and nothing to be undone.
This cannot be followed.
There is nothing to think about,
no need to make any kind of effort.
This is an indication of the quietness I am speaking about.
Truth always exists. Existence alone is.
It is called satyam.

We speak about enlightenment,
but first we have created bondage.
Bondage does not exist.

How can you remove that which does not exist?

First, teachers impose a concept of bondage
and then various practices are prescribed.

There may be millions of books in the world,
thousands more are published every day.
Nowhere does it say, "Be quiet".
When you simply say "Keep quiet,"
what is the rest of the book to be about?

There is no ignorance at all;
there is only existence - there is only satyam.
If you simply keep quiet you will know that only this exists.

Before the sun rises early in the morning
it does not first try to remove the darkness of the night.
The sun does not say, "Let me brush away the darkness
and only then, in the daytime, I will rise."

For the sun there is no night,
there is no darkness to be removed.
The sun does not even know that such a thing as night exists. What practice is needed to remove darkness,
where is this darkness?

All practices imply the reality of darkness, of ignorance,
when in fact they do not exist.
The river in the sand is a mirage;
it does not exist, it never existed.
If you go closer and closer the sand not even is wet;
it is only a belief that makes us run after a mirage, nothing else.

There is only satyam; there is only Truth.
What need is there of practice?
It is only practice which is concealing the truth.
