What do you want to share with everybody in the world? Whatever I know, I want to share it. I know what love means. I know what non-violence means: feeling oneness with every living being. I want to share compassion. I want to share how to reach the highest state of consciousness. Whatever I know, whatever I understand, I want to share with you. Because I am so full of this understanding. When a person comes to this understanding, he has to share it. He is a like a cow full of milk, she has to find someone to give it to. Otherwise he will go crazy! When Mahavira went out to the forest, he lived there alone for twelve years. He meditated, all alone, content in the hermit life. Then he achieved enlightenment. Suddenly he understood everything, he was filled with understanding. So immediately he ran back to the city to share it! He couldn't resist running back! The same with Buddha, with Jesus. They couldn't resist sharing. Even when the people turned against Jesus, when he knew he was in danger, he continued to preach and share with them. I will share too, whatever I know. It may be like guidelines to you, to help you in knowing yourself. |
