Life Is a Mystery to Be Lived
The Goose Is Out # 9
I am saying things and taking to you just to give you an experience of silence.
Those pauses are the most Significant thing that is being delivered to you, being transferred to you.
Be available to those pauses.
Is it important
to have some kind of attitude towards life?
The best way to miss life
is to have a certain attitude towards it.
The attitudes originate in the mind,
and life is beyond mind.
The attitudes
are our fabrications,
our prejudices,
our inventions.
Life
is not our fabrication;
on the contrary,
we are just ripples in the lake of life.
What an attitude
a ripple in the ocean can have towards the ocean?
What an attitude
a grass leaf can have
towards the earth,
the moon,
the sun,
the stars?
All attitudes are egoistic,
all attitudes are stupid.
Life is not a philosophy,
it is not a problem;
it is a mystery.
You have to live it
not according to a certain pattern,
not according to a conditioning
not what you have been told about it
you have to start afresh,
from the very scratch.
Each human individual should think
as if he is the first on the earth;
he is the Adam or the Eve.
Then you can open,
you can open to infinite possibilities;
then you will be vulnerable,
available.
And the more vulnerable you are,
the more available you are,
the more is the possibility of life happening to you.
Your attitudes function like barriers;
then life never reaches to you as it is
it has to fit
to your
philosophy,
religion,
ideology,
and in that very fitting,
something dies in it.
What you get out
is a corpse:
it may look like life but it is not.
