Question 5
I HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO YOU FOR THE LAST YEAR. STILL I FEEL
EVERY MORNING IS A NEW ADVENTURE. I WAIT FOR YOUR ARRIVAL
WITH A THRILLED HEART AND WITH A STRANGE EXCITEMENT. DOES
THIS HAPPEN EVEN AFTER LISTENING TO YOU FOR ONE YEAR? PLEASE
SAY SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
If you have really listened in love, then for years and years and lives I can go on talking and every morning you will be again excited. Love makes everything new, because love never accumulates the past. Love never becomes a burden; it never collects dust. The mirror remains clean.
If you are listening through the mind then it will be difficult. Then even one year is too much. Then you will have collected. so much head you will have become heavy, and you will start getting restless and the excitement will be lost -- because the mind becomes always old. Mind is old because it accumulates past.
If you have heard me through the heart then there is no accumulation. Every morning you come as a morning -- fresh like the morning dew, a newly-opened bud of a flower.
And what I am doing here is not really saying something. Rather, I am playing on your innermost core of being. The words are just excuses. The words are just to keep you engaged somewhere so that I can go on penetrating deeper in you. The words simply create a climate in which I can penetrate deep in you and reach to your innermost core.
If you listen from the heart, then this can go on and on and you will always be excited. Love is always excited because love is always new. The heart is always excited -- never bored, never burdened. Mind is always bored and burdened.
Feel happy and blessed. It is a benediction -- rarely happens... to very few people. These birds have been singing here continuously, but when they sing again, it is again new. Because that singing does not mean anything.
If I have some meaning to convey to you, then sooner or later the mind will feel, 'Now, it is enough.' I have nothing to convey. I have no message. On the contrary, I am the message.

YOU SAY LIFE IS EVERYTHING. LIFE IS WHAT IS, WHAT COUNTS, HERE AND NOW -- NO PLANNING, NO WISHING, NO WANTING, NO HOPING, NO SEARCHING. LIVE NOW, SPONTANEOUSLY. JUST BE. YES. I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT WHAT IS GOD? IS GOD THE SAME WORD FOR LIFE. FOR WHAT IS? BUT WHY DO WE USE THE WORD 'GOD' AND NOT JUST LIFE? THEY SAY GOD IS THE ONE WHO CREATED THE WORLD.

FURTHER UP THE ROAD WAS A HORSE AND CART OUTSIDE THE SADDLER'S SHOP. THE FARM-BOY WAS GOING TO CHANGE THE HORSE'S BRIDLE IN THE STREET. HE TOOK OFF THE BLINKERS AND FOR THE FIRST TIME THE HORSE CAUGHT SIGHT OF THE CART HE HAD BEEN PULLING FOR YEARS.
