You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet

[Etyan: strong and stable.]

Veet Etyan. Veet means going beyond, transcending – transcending the desire to be strong and

stable. Man has always desired to be strong because he feels weak; the desire simply proves that

man feels weak. Man is weak, because the part can never be strong; only the whole is strong.

God is strong. God means the whole. How can the part be strong? The very desire simply proves

the opposite. Man wants to be stable, and life is a flux; everything is changing, nothing is stable.

Because we desire stability, we are disappointed, disillusioned, at each step.

Look at people’s faces: such disappointment. such utter hopelessness. And why is it there? – in the

first place they asked for the impossible. Nobody is at fault except themselves. Had they looked at

reality, had they accepted it as it is, there would have been no disappointment, no disillusionment.

Disillusionment follows only when you create an illusion; then disillusionment is natural, inevitable.

But you are the creator of it. Everything is moving like a river and everything is fragile, like a rose.

Only the total is strong and stable.

And the paradox is: till you leave the desire to be strong and stable you will never be one with the

total. The desire to be strong and stable keeps you separate, creates a boundary around you, gives

you an ego, which is false.

Be fragile and accept the changing flow of life. Know perfectly well that nothing is safe and nothing

is secure. This is how it is, and nothing is wrong in it; this is the way existence exists. When we start

accepting it, slowly slowly the ego dies of its own accord. Because its demands are not fulfilled, it

is not fed; and when there is no ego, one is one with the whole. Then when you are not, there is

strength, but that is not yours. And when you are not, there is stability, but that is not yours. The

waves are fragile, the ocean is strong. The waves are changing, the ocean is stable.

So go beyond the desire of the ego to be separate, to be strong, to be somebody, to be stable, to be

forever. All those are wrong beginnings and they lead you into more and more disillusionments and

make your life nothing but a long series of misery.

Life is bliss if one accepts things as they are. And that’s what sannyas is all about: a tremendous

acceptance of things as they are, with no desire for something else, for things to be otherwise. In

that acceptance something starts blooming in your being, a fragrance arises....

[Satoshi: It means heading home.]

That’s really what is happening!

Heading home? Mm! That’s a beautiful name!

I loved your name! It is really beautiful, and tremendously significant too. That’s what man is: a

search for the home. Somewhere we have lost paradise. It has to be regained. Deep down in our

hearts there is a nostalgia, some vague memories of the home, of the true land, to which we belong.

So everybody is searching in his own way, everybody is a seeker. One may be seeking wrongly, one

may be seeking in a wrong direction – that’s another matter – but as far as seeking is concerned,

everybody is seeking.

Meditation puts your direction towards god. It helps you to move towards the right centre of

existence. Meditation helps you only to drop that which is wrong. It does not teach you to renounce;

it simply helps you to see, and once you have seen the false as the false, it drops of its own accord.

To see the false as the false is the beginning of seeing the truth as truth.

So this will remain your name: Swami Deva Satoshi. Deva means god – headed towards the home

called god.

Deva Soumei. Deva means divine, soumei means intelligence. Intellect is human; intelligence

is divine. To be an intellectual is just rubbish, but to be intelligent is tremendously beautiful.

Intellectuality is a false coin, it is a pretender. It deceives because it looks like intelligence. It is just

the opposite; not only different but opposite. The so-called intellectuals are really very unintelligent

people because all that they have is borrowed, all that they have is not their own experience. It

is certainly knowledge but not wisdom. It may have happened to others, it has not happened to

them; and truth cannot be borrowed, it cannot be purchased, it cannot be sold. It is absolutely

untransferrable. It cannot even be expressed, so whatsoever one gathers remains just arbitrary

guesswork. One can gather great information and one can start having great knowledge, but all that

knowledgability will be only a cover-up of one’s inner ignorance.

Then what is intelligence? Intelligence is dropping the borrowed and searching for your own

treasure. Even a small quantity of intelligence is far more meaningful than the whole Himalayas of

intellect, because intelligence transforms you. It kindles a light in your heart, it makes you luminous.

It gives you a taste of god, and that taste is transformation. It is only possible to be intelligent through

meditation.
