Product Description

Silence can be a message. It can convey, it can become the vehicle. But then the question is not of
the master’s concern to teach it. The question is of the disciple’s to learn it.
If it was a question of teaching, then the master would do something.
But words are useless – nothing can be done with them. The master can remain silent and can
give the message from every pore of his being – but now the disciple has to understand it. Unaided,
without any help from the master, the disciple has to receive it.
That’s why in the world of religion teachers don’t exist, only masters. A teacher is one who teaches,
a master is one who IS. A teacher is one who talks about the truth, a master is truth himself. You
can learn, but he cannot teach.
He can be there, open, available – you have to drink him, and you have to eat him. You have to
imbibe him. You have to become pregnant with him. You have to absorb.
A master is one who has become the truth and is available for all those who are ready to absorb
him; hence Jesus says to his disciples: Eat me. Truth can be eaten; it cannot be taught. You can
allow it to reach you, but it cannot be forced on you.
Truth is absolutely nonviolent, it will not even knock at your door – even that much will be too much
aggression.
