Day 53
If you keep thinking about sex all the time, your mind becomes so dull, gross. Not that sex is bad, but obsession about sex does not allow you to experience love. Because it is the same energy which is used as sex that becomes love , that is expressed as love also. Don't all the time sit and think about their glories, hear their glorification.
That can tempt you. Someone says, “Hey, that would be better. You do this, become a millionaire, just do nothing.” There is nothing wrong in becoming a millionaire. You can become a billionaire, no problem. But hearing about it creates a confusion, a feverishness, which is contrary to your blossoming.
Don't take an interest in listening to those things. You know, there can be two types of arrogance. There can be arrogance of renunciation also. “Look, I don’t care, I am renounced. I don’t want anything.” That can be an arrogance, too. Arrogance of having and arrogance of not having, arrogance of intelligence, arrogance of service, “What do you think, I have done the maximum service. What do you think, who are you? What did you do? What service did you do? You are nothing” that type of attitude.
Arrogance of service, arrogance of humility, arrogance of all your virtues, arrogance of being correct and having justice all the time. “I'm always right, I can never go wrong, I always do justice,” that can create an arrogance in you. Drop this arrogance. Who are you? Wake up and see. Drop all your showing-off. All the “this is mine, mine and mine.” What is yours? How long are you going to be on this planet?
Wake up and see. If you think it is not possible, it is not practical to live without a certain amount of pride, a certain amount of anger, or certain amount of lust, then say, “Do it all with the Divine only.” If you desire, desire the Divine. If you are passionate, be so passionate for the Divine. If you are angry, be angry at the Divine.
And if you are proud and arrogant, be proud, be arrogant that you own the owner of the creation, because you house Him in you, He is your prisoner. “The owner of this creation is my prisoner, he can’t do anything without me.” Have that pride, have that ego. If at all you think you cannot, just expand your everything.
Because you offer everything to him. Whatever you want to be passionate about, just be passionate about everything in the Divinity. Pride? Take pride in it. You want to be greedy? Do seva, be greedy about seva, greedy about service. And you want to be angry? Be angry at the Divine.
Tell Him, “Why don’t you make more intelligent and bright people in creation. Don’t you have better stock? You seem to be sometimes so dumb. You take away all intelligent people and give very long life to all the dumb people.” If you want to be angry, just be angry at the Divine. Divert all your emotions to the Divine, yes?
You know, if you really want to worry, worry about what will happen after 5,000 years. Worry big. Expand everything. You will be comfortable. If you are just worrying about your knee problem, it becomes too much for you. But worry about the knee problems of all the people in this planet, find out how many people have knee problems. Must be several million people.
Worry for this entire planet. Anything you do, when you expand it, you will find it is comfortable. Right from worry to anger to everythin, it brings more awareness also.
