Life is a mystery !


Just the other day a journalist came here.
He had come to cover what is happening here in this ashram, and he wanted to have both stories -- the people who are for it, and the people who are against it.
So he went around the town. He talked to police officers, he went to see the mayor of Poona.
And what the mayor said was really beautiful, I loved it.
He said, "This man is so dangerous that he should be expelled from Poona -- not only from Poona but from India, not only from India but from the world!
"I loved it.
And I started thinking about it.
Where will they expel me from the world?
That's a really fantastic idea!
If they can manage it, I am willing to go.
Why is there so much anger?
The anger has a reason in it, it has a rationale behind it.
The rationale is that I am trying to give you a totally new vision of religious life -- and if the new vision succeeds, then all the old visions will have to die.
Krishna Prabhu, forget all about what you have been told, "This is right and this is wrong."
Life is not so fixed.
The thing that is right today may be wrong tomorrow, the thing that is wrong this moment may be right the next moment.
Life cannot be pigeon holed; you cannot label it so easily, "This is right and this is wrong."
Life is not achemist's shop where every bottle is labeled and you know what is what.
Life is a mystery; one moment something fits and then it is right. Another moment, so much water has gone down the Ganges that it no longer fits and it is wrong.
What is my definition of right?
That which is harmonious with existence is right, and that which is disharmonious with existence is wrong.
You will have to be very alert each moment, because it has to be decided each moment afresh.
You cannot depend on readymade answers for what is right and what is wrong.
Only stupid people depend on
readymade answers, because then they need not be intelligent.
