Product Description

The emphasis of the Upanishads is on WHOLENESS. Remember, it is not on perfection but on
wholeness. The moment one becomes interested in being perfect, the ego enters in. The ego is
a perfectionist – the desire of the ego is to be perfect – and perfection drives humanity towards
insanity.
Wholeness is totally different; its flavor is different. Perfection is in the future: it is a desire.
Wholeness is herenow: it is a revelation. Perfection has to be achieved, and of course every
achievement takes time; it has to be gradual. You have to sacrifice the present for the future, the
today for the tomorrow. And the tomorrow never comes; what comes is always today.
Existence knows nothing of future and nothing of past; it knows only the present. Now is the only
time and here the only space. The moment you go astray from now and here you are going to end
into some kind of madness. You will fall into fragments; your life will become a hell. You will be torn
apart: the past will pull a part of you towards itself and the future the other part. You will become
schizophrenic, split, divided. Your life will be only a deep anguish, a trembling, an anxiety, a tension.
You will not know anything of bliss, you will not know anything of ecstasy because the past exists
not.
