Cosmos is darkness
There are only 5 elements in the cosmos, the ether, air, fire, water and earth. The cosmos, space is the base material out of which all other 4 elements came out. That cosmos is nothing but darkness. The cosmos is not dead darkness. It is the darkness which is capable of giving birth to the whole cosmos, which was able to give birth to air, fire, water and earth. It means it is the motherly cosmic energy, darkness energy which is able to give birth to everything. It is the infinite potential energy out of which everything from stars, planets to things on the planets emerges as light and shadow.
Very wonderful experiences of opening up to nature will happen. Fear of whole will disappear. Many people are afraid to look into sky itself. When you look into the sky, it is like as if from a height 10th or 11th floor you are afraid to look down, because you feel someone is going to push you from behind. The moment you look down only you will feel. You know for sure there is a strong parapet wall. You feel as if somebody is going to push you from behind. Somebody is going to push you from behind. It is just fear. Fear of the openness. Always, for one moment you get a thought, why not disappear into that. Then you say no, no, no. I can't disappear. Then it becomes fear. In the same way we have the fear of whole. The wholeness is an invitation for you to come back. Then you say, no, no, no, I don't want to come back. I want to hold on to this chair. That is the fear.
