Frustration

There is no way for me to get frustrated. You cannot do anything that can make me frustrated, because frustration happens only when there is expectation. I don’t expect anything.
I have no expectations from anybody. I accept you the way you are. If I have some expectations
then, of course, in the wake frustration is bound to happen.
I accept you as you are because for me you are all enlightened.
What more can happen?
There is nothing more. As far as I am concerned, all that has to happen has already happened.
Now it is up to you how long you want to go on playing the games – the games of hide-and-seek. 
It is up to you! If you are enjoying it, why should I get frustrated? If you are not frustrated,
who am I to be frustrated with your games? It’s perfectly okay!
In fact, I enjoy and giggle. Seeing you falling in the same ditch again, 
I am amazed!
There is a Persian saying: Man is the only animal who can fall in the same ditch again.
Even donkeys will avoid it! You cannot force a donkey to fall in the same ditch again – he will resist, he will fight,he will protest, because he Knows the ditch, he has suffered it. It is only man.... Man is a strange animal, the most absurd of all the animals.
And this is a zoo!
I call it Buddha Hall, but as far as you are concerned it is Noah’s Ark! All kinds of animals are here. And when one is in a zoo one enjoys. In fact, I am the only person who is enjoying it to the full!
You are unconscious.
How can I be frustrated with you? Whatsoever you are doing is bound to happen. Nothing else is possible right now unless you become
conscious.
