"And the discovery needs no effort on your part because you are the problem, your efforts are the hindrances.

"You have to be absent – with all your will power, with all your efforts. You simply have to give way, and then there will be a totally different quality of awareness – spontaneous, joyous, relaxing, rejuvenating, and you can never be tired of it. It is simply your nature. Even in your sleep it will remain there, burning like a small candle in the darkness of sleep.

"That which is created by will cannot be of the beyond, it can only be something below you. It is your creation – it cannot be bigger than you. And that which you are creating has a cause: your will, your effort. The moment the cause is removed, the flame of awareness will be gone. Your will was functioning like a fuel.

"I will not support it. It is fake. And because you don't know the authentic, you cannot make the distinction.

"Please try to be in touch with the spontaneous – even a moment's glimpse and you will see: the difference is so vast…. One is just manufactured by you, with all your weaknesses, with all your frailties, with all your unconsciousness – and the other comes from the beyond. The other is divine, and only the divine can liberate you. Only the divine can be your eternal peace, silence, blissfulness.

"You are saying, 'I find that the true moments of joy…' Have you ever known untrue moments of joy? Either joy is, or is not. Have you ever experienced untrue moments of joy? What do you mean by 'true moments of joy'? Certainly, you are comparing with your moments of hypocrisy, when you try to appear to be happy, joyful, and you know you are not; your smile is just an exercise of the lips. The heart is not behind it; most probably it is just a way to hide your tears. You are afraid if you don't start laughing, you may start crying; it is better to laugh so you are not exposed to others.

"People try in every way to hide their misery, their pain, their anguish."
