अहो मयि स्थितं विश्वं वस्तुतो न मयि स्थितम् ॥
'Aho', he said, 'Oh! This is all present in me, and still it is not present in me.' If a scholar, reads this, he'll find it thoroughly confusing! One without any experience will throw this book out and say it doesn't make nay sense. He'll say the author must have been a crazy person. He'll say, this book is so self-contradictory he can't make any sense out of it. It makes no sense; that is why it is Truth. The mind has a peculiar nature. It desires something, and when it acquires or achieves it, it no longer finds it interesting. It drops it, and moves away from it, because he can't stand being totally in the present. It dissolves. And if it doesn't achieve what he wants, it gets frustrated. Then too, there is a rejection, a rebellion in the mind. Have you observed this? You want something and crave for it. And if you can achieve it, if you have it, the mind is not into it. It drops it very easily, very quickly. It doesn't find joy in it.
There is a story about Mullah Nasruddin. Mullah was in love with a very beautiful girl, but he decided to marry somebody else. Someone asked him what happened. Why did he decide to marry someone else? His decision was very strange! So, they asked him, 'What has happened to you? Are you not in live with that girl?' Mullah replied, 'I am in love with her, that's why I'm not marrying her. If I marry her, how will I spend my evenings?'
A husband and wife often fight. What is the reason for this? The mind says I already possess my husband (or wife), so it never goes there because it has already possessed him (or her), but somebody else maybe... The wife is very beautiful but the mind doesn't go there. They go elsewhere. The husband is very nice person, but the mind doesn't go there, it goes elsewhere. It feels another person is better. The mind feeds or exists on illusion. It wants something that is not around. It wants something impossible. The moment it becomes possible, it moves away from there and goes further. It's not anybody's fault. It is the nature. It is used to living on craving so it gets frustrated anyway. Having or not having, fulfilled frustration or unfulfilled frustration.
