ELIGHTENMENT: THE SEED EVERYONE IS CARRYING FOR LIVES TOGETHER

AFTER TWENTY-FIVE CENTURIES, MAN HAS COME OF AGE. And I hope that I 
can transfer the unseeable without hiding it behind an excuse. Neither has Govind 
Siddharth to feel ashamed for his tears, nor do the others have to feel that he must be 
mad because they can't see anything happening -- and particularly in this temple of the mystery school.

Only those few people are present who will understand at least the possibility of 
something mysterious, miraculous happening. You are here only for that miracle. You 
are not here to listen to a talk, to listen to words, theories, philosophies. 

YOU ARE HERE TO TASTE SOMETHING OF THE BEYOND.

And that day, Govind Siddharth tasted something of the beyond, HE EXPERIENCED 
THE FLOWERING. I have not given a flower to him, but he has experienced the 
flowering of his inner lotus. EVERY ONE OF YOU, sooner or later, is going to taste, 
to experience the same mystery.

He is what Gautam Buddha used to call "become an elder". HE HAS ARRIVED TO 
THE POINT WHICH WE CALL ENLIGHTENMENT. AND YOU SHOULD 
REJOICE IN IT -- because one of you becoming enlightened makes it easier for you to become enlightened, makes it possible, brings it within your reach.

It is not an impossibility. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE SPECIAL, UNIQUE -- a savior, 
a prophet. In your very ordinariness, in your very simplicity, in your very humanity you 
have the potential. Govind Siddharth becomes a proof for your potential.

You should rejoice as if you have become enlightened. HIS BECOMING 
ENLIGHTENED IS YOUR BECOMING ENLIGHTENED, it is only a question of 
time. But he is enough of a proof and a guarantee.

ENLIGHTENMENT IS not something that comes from above. It is something 
that grows in you, THE SEED EVERYONE IS CARRYING FOR LIVES TOGETHER.

JESUS USED TO SAY, "YOU CAN THROW THE SEEDS. Some may fall on the 
rocks and will never grow. Some may fall on the footpath: they will grow, but will 
be crushed by people continually passing on the footpath. SOME WILL FALL INTO 
THE RIGHT SOIL AND WILL GROW AND REALIZE THEIR ULTIMATE FLOWERING... will dance in the wind, in the sun, in the rain -- expressing their 
gratitude to existence."

THIS IS A GARDEN. Whatever I am saying to you is just providing you with a right 
soil. SLOWLY SLOWLY, FEW SEEDS WILL START SPROUTING. Each seed 
sprouting should fill you with great celebration -- because it reflects you, it reflects your future. It indicates all the possibilities that are hidden in you.
