Excerpt from: The Fish in the Sea Is Not Thristy, Chapter 1

    “Man is a seed – the seed of God. When man blooms, godliness becomes manifest. That’s why we have called Buddha, Mahavira, Krishna, ‘Bhagwan.’ It simply means that their seed is no longer a seed; it has disappeared in the soil of existence and they have come to their ultimate blossoming. Godliness has bloomed in them. The fragrance of divineness has been released. They are fulfilled, utterly fulfilled. They are joyous because they have come home. Now there is nowhere to go.

    “Man is the only animal who is an unfinished product. Nature has brought man to a certain point and from that point he has been made responsible. Now you are responsible for your growth. Nature cannot do any more, and whatever was possible through nature has already happened – it has brought you to the threshold. You have to take the further journey now; you have to become a pilgrim.

    “If you don’t become a pilgrim, if your life does not take the quality of adventure, search, inquiry, you will remain empty, thirsty, hungry. You will remain spiritually starved. Don’t take yourself for granted – that is the problem, exactly that is the very crux of the problem. We take ourselves for granted, we think as if we are what we are supposed to be.

    "Man is a paradox. Man is not what he thinks he is, he is far more. Man’s capacities are immense. In fact, there are no limits to man’s growth. One can go on and on and on; it is an infinite journey. There is no goal. There is a beginning of the pilgrimage but no end.

    "To know godliness is to know that life is an eternal pilgrimage. That is the meaning when we say that godliness is infinite. You can go on attaining, but you can never say that now the dead end has come. This is the beauty of existence. It goes on giving you more and more opportunities. When you have climbed one peak, another peak starts giving you challenges.

    “The misery of man is that he thinks he is what he is supposed to be. He thinks that he is already that which he can be. Man remains satisfied with the superficial; then there will remain a deep discontent in his soul. That’s what Kabir is trying to say. Kabir is one of the greatest revolutionaries who has ever walked on the earth. His insight is of tremendous value. If you can fall en rapport with his vision, you will be enriched; you will be enriched beyond all your expectations.”
