YOU ASK WHAT MY MESSAGE IS? It is a brief one indeed: those who are awake are alive; those
who are asleep miss everything.
NO MAN IS GIVEN MANHOOD READY-MADE. He has to build it by himself. This is both a blessing
and a bane. It is a blessing because there is always the possibility he will die without ever having
become a man.
MAN DOES NOT BECOME GOD BY DEVELOPING HIMSELF. If he were able to open himself fully,
he would know he is already God himself, here and now. As I see it, the complete revelation of the
self is the only development there is.
IT IS NO EXAGGERATION TO SAY THAT WE HAVE FORGOTTEN OURSELVES. Have we not
forgotten our own births? Then what else can one say about a life that rests on a foundation of
self-forgetfulness? Isn’t such a life really just a dream?
What, if any, is the difference between dreaming and being awake? In a dream the dreamer is
completely forgotten. The dream overwhelms him, it happens right in front of him, but he is not
present in the dream. In fact, his absence itself is his sleep because the moment he is present he is
neither asleep nor dreaming.
Then what shall we call this so-called life of ours? It is certainly not wakefulness because we cannot
remember our selves. So is it a dream too? Yes, my friend, this too is a dream. As long as there is
insensibility towards the self, like is but an empty dream.
