AND A MAN CAN BE KNOWN BY HIS AURA. The ordinary man has only nearabout a
one-inch aura all around his body... but as your meditation deepens your
aura becomes bigger -- two inches, three inches, four inches, five inches.
AS YOUR MEDITATION DEEPENS, you are surrounded with more and more light
coming from your inner being.
You have seen the pictures of Buddha or Jesus with A CIRCLE OF LIGHT AROUND
THEIR HEAD, AN AURA, and people think that it is simply mythology. Now
Kirlian photography proves it -- it is not mythology. Kirlian photography
says that that kind of round aura happens only when somebody has reached to
his very innermost core, when somebody is awakened -- a Gautam Buddha. Then
his whole head radiates something of the eternal.
But when things start happening for the first time, one feels afraid. When a
young boy, fourteen years old, becomes for the first time aware of his
sexuality, he feels afraid, embarrassed, becomes very uptight, is worried:
"What is happening? If somebody comes to know... And what am I supposed to
do with it?" A new energy has become available of which he was not aware at
all up to now. AND WHEN SPIRITUAL ENERGY BECOMES AVAILABLE TO YOU, it is a
million-times-
bigger phenomenon... You feel joy, you feel blissfulness, and
at the same time a trembling, a fear -- but this fear will disappear.
It is a natural process. As you become more and more accustomed to the new
state of joyfulness, fear will be reduced. SOON YOU WILL FIND THERE IS NO
FEAR AT ALL. And to be fearless is a tremendously great achievement...
because fear is part of your death. If you become fearless, you have tasted
something which is deathless.
In your joy, you have come close to the deathless; in your joy, you have
come to your immortality....
GIVE ALL YOUR ENERGY TO JOY: fear will disappear. Ignore fear, don't pay any
attention to fear... because the more attention you pay to it, the longer it
will linger on. Pour yourself totally in the direction from where joy is
arising: fear will disappear just as darkness disappears when you bring
light in.
JOY IS LIGHT. And joy is the beginning of a great pilgrimage which ends in
finding God.
So go on -- without any fear, because EXISTENCE ALWAYS PROTECTS THOSE WHO
TRUST IT. Relax, give yourself to existence, and allow the joy to overwhelm
you. Let it become your wings, so that you can reach to the stars.
A joyful heart is very close to the stars. IT IS ONLY THE SAD AND THE
SORROWFUL AND THE MISERABLE WHO ARE GOING TOWARDS HELL. They are creating
their hell. The joyful and the singing and the dancing and the celebrating
are creating their paradise by each of their songs, by each of their dances.
IT IS IN YOUR HANDS whether to create paradise or to fall into a darkness,
into hellfire. These are not outside you; these both are within you. It all
depends what you choose to be.
CHOOSE TO BE DIVINE, choose to be more and more a celebrant, choose to be
festive... so more and more flowers can blossom in your being, and more and
more fragrance can become available to you.
And this way will not only help you, Chitbodhi, it will help all those with
whom you come in contact. JOY IS AS INFECTIOUS AS ANY DISEASE.
When you see a few people dancing, suddenly you feel your feet are ready.
You may try to control them, because control has been taught to you... but
your body wants to join the dance. Whenever you have an opportunity to
laugh, join; whenever you have an opportunity to dance, join; whenever you
have an opportunity to sing, sing -- AND ONE DAY YOU WILL FIND YOU HAVE
CREATED YOUR PARADISE.
It is not that one goes to paradise; PARADISE IS NOT SOMEWHERE IN THE SKY --
it is something that one creates around himself.
It is a good beginning. With all my blessings, go deeper, in spite of any
fear. NEVER LISTEN TO NEGATIVE THINGS. If you listen to them they can poison
you, they can destroy your joy -- keep it pure, unpolluted. And here are
people who will dance with you, who will celebrate... because you have taken
the first step towards God.
And I want to remind you that THE FIRST STEP IS ALMOST HALF THE JOURNEY.
