Sensitive Heart – In Gita Verse 9.11 Fools deride Me when I descend in the human form. They do not know My transcendental nature as the Supreme Lord of all that be.
Krishna in this verse says that many people when I descend in the human form they don’t know me. One of the reasons they don’t know me or recognise me is because they have not transcended their sensuality to sensitivity. They are not sensitive.
From our own life incidence we know how insensitive we are when we are in greed, anger, hyper or in hurry. In those moments we cannot see what is available to us and how we can create possibilities for our own problems. We don’t recognize people to whom we have met after a long time.
From this verse whether people recognize Krishna, Buddha, Osho or not, but if we want to know them first we need to transcend our own sensuality and become more sensitive.
Miracles are all over; one just needs a sensitive heart: Miracles are happening everywhere. But we are so blind that we cannot see.
When you see a rose flower, you don’t see that in that rose flower is hidden the whole philosophy of life – the leaves are not red, nor are the thorns red nor are the roots red.
Yet out of this green foliage comes a beautiful red rose. It is nourished by everything: by the roots, by the leaves – because the leaves are breathing constantly; otherwise, the rose would die.
Branches are constantly doing a miracle – bringing juice and water from the depths in the earth upwards, against gravitation. And there is no pumping system.
Miracles are all over; one just needs a sensitive heart, a perceptive eye, and you will see matter and spirit dancing together everywhere.
If you will be able to see the mystery of life happening every moment then even the person sitting next to you, in him will see God, Existence. As God, Existence is present as formless in everything.
Mystery means – Live naturally. Live peacefully. Live inwardly. Just give a little time to yourself, being alone, being silent, just watching the inner scene of your mind. Slowly, slowly thoughts disappear. Slowly, slowly one day the mind is so still, so silent as if it is not there. Just this silence…in this moment you are not here, as if the whole existence is empty.
In this silence within you, you will find a new dimension of life. In this dimension greed does not exist, sex does not exist, anger does not exist, violence does not exist. It is not a credit to you; it is the new dimension beyond mind where love exists, pure, unpolluted by any biological urge; where compassion exists for no other reason – not to get any reward in heaven – because compassion is a reward unto itself.
A deep longing exists to share all that treasure that you have discovered within yourself, and to shout from the housetops to the people, “You are not poor! Paradise is within you.”
You need not be beggars, you are born emperors. You just have to discover your empire, and your empire is not of the outside world; your empire is of your own interiority. It is within you and it has always been there, just waiting for you to come home.
Love will come, and will come in abundance – so much that you cannot contain it. You will find it is overflowing you, it is reaching all directions.
Just discover your hidden splendor. Life can be simply a song, a song of joy.
Life can be simply a dance, a celebration, a continuous celebration. All that you have to learn is a life-affirmative lifestyle.
I call only that man religious who is life-affirmative. All those who are life-negative may think they are religious; they are not. Their sadness shows they are not. Their seriousness shows they are not.
A man of authentic religion will have a sense of humor. It is our universe, it is our home. We are not orphans. This earth is our mother. This sky is our father. This whole vast universe is for us, and we are for it.
In fact, there is no division between us and the whole. We are organically joined with it, we are part of one orchestra.
Krishna says to know me as transcendental nature means – To feel this music of existence is the only religion that I can accept as authentic, as valid. It does not have any scriptures, it need not have. It does not have any statues of God, because it does not believe in any hypotheses. It has nothing to worship, it has only to be silent, and out of that silence comes gratitude, prayer, and the whole existence turns into a godliness.
There is no God as a person. God is spread all over: in the trees, in the birds, in the animals, in humanity, in the wise, in the otherwise.
All that is alive is nothing but godliness ready to open its wings, ready to fly into freedom, ultimate freedom of consciousness.
Yes, you will love yourself and you will love the whole existence too.
There is no need to wait when Krishna will take birth. He is always present. Just one just needs a sensitive heart.
