Поля
you are right at the brink of the lake.
You only have to open your eyes,
and I can see that the lids are about to lift.
I shall be with you then,
always with you,
so don’t worry.
Be patient and wait;
the seed takes its own time to break and bloom.
Give my regards to all.
More when we meet.
51. Love.
I have received your letter and your questions.
About death I have remained quiet on purpose,
because I want to awaken inquiry about life.
Those who ponder over death reach nowhere.
Because, in fact, how can death be known without dying?
Hence, the total outcome of such thinking
is either a belief that the soul is immortal or
that the end of one’s life is a total end, nothing remains after that.
They are both mere beliefs.
One belief is based on the fear of death,
the other on the end of the body.
I want man not to get entangled in beliefs and opinions,
because that is not the direction to experiencing, to knowing.
And what else can be found by thinking about death
but belief systems and dogmas?
Thought never takes one beyond the known.
And death is unknown.
Hence, it cannot be known through thinking.
I want to turn your attention towards life.
Life is – here and now.
One can enter it.
Death is never here and now –
either it is in the future or in the past.
Death is never in the present.
Has this fact ever come to your attention,
that death is never in the present?
But life is always in the present – neither in the past
nor in the future.
If it is, it is now; otherwise it never is.
Hence it can be known, because it can be lived,
there is no need to think about it.
In fact, those who would think about it will miss it.
Because the movement of thought is also only of the past
or in the future;
thought is not in the present.
Thought too is a companion of death.
In other words, thought is dead,
there is no element of life in it.
Aliveness is always in the present – it is the present.
You only have to open your eyes,
and I can see that the lids are about to lift.
I shall be with you then,
always with you,
so don’t worry.
Be patient and wait;
the seed takes its own time to break and bloom.
Give my regards to all.
