TAKE ONE YEAR OFF
The moment seeking opens in you, the moment inspiration happens in you, that first one year is a very important year.
It is like the first one year of your marriage. This is a very important time because you set a trend of how your life is going to be, how your patterns are going to be, how you are going to respond to each other, what is your boundary, what is his boundary, everything will be defined in that one year. The first year is very important in marriage, in any relationship.
In the same way, the first year is very important when you are born, because that first year is going to decide whether you are going to live or not. Even for the house, the first year is very important. That first year only is going to decide whether the house is going to stand or not, because it is going to face the seasons, all four seasons only in the first year.
If seeking opens in you, you are feeling something new is happening in your life, if you are excited about spiritual seeking, take that one year off.
How you are going to create relationship with your seeking is going to be decided in that one year. Whether you are going to ripe and get enlightened or your seeking is going to be killed will be decided in the first one year.
The first one year the actions you perform based on the seeking, and the amount of seeking you allow to penetrate into your actions, that is going to decide whether you are going to evolve and get enlightened, or your seeking is just going to die down and it is just going to be one more breeze you experienced for few months.
That one year - if you reach that depth of spiritual experience, even by struggle, it is okay. This spiritual experience I will call it a new word spiritual cultural shock.
Every individual who comes inside the ashram and stays for more than a week goes through that - spiritual cultural shock. Because it is completely a new culture.
What you call as love will not be love. This is the place where the pure love of Kailash flows, where everybody loves your possibility, your being. A fight between two beings, two people happens when the possibility is not loved.
When the possibility is loved, there will never be a fight. There will be a lot of screaming, there will be a lot of shouting, but there will not be fighting. Screaming and shouting does not constitute fighting.
Understand, fighting constitutes ideological difference to the core. Ideological difference to the core is a basic ingredient for fight. So, what you call as fight outside you will see as if it is happening, but it will not be happening.
Same way, what you call as love outside will not be love here, what you call as fight will not be fight here, what you call as fear will not be fear here, and what you call as greed will not be a greed here. It is Kailash.
Only thing you need is somehow hang on! Don't get down from the train, that's all. Whether you are in first class or air conditioning compartment, second class or third class or third class bathroom, don't get off the train!
And I even have a fourth class - just hanging in the train bar. I have all four classes. But somehow hang on, that's all. You will reach. And all four of you will reach the goal.
The fellow who was in the air conditioning coach, for him the travel itself was little tasty, that's all. Otherwise, the goal is the same for all of you.
All four of you will reach the goal. No doubt. Nothing else. Whether you are in the air conditioning coach, first class, second class or third class or third class bathroom or fourth class hanging, hang on! That's all!
