Discovery

My work here is to make you aware

Of what is real in you and what is unreal in you

What is essential in you

And what is accidental in you.

Once you are aware

Of the essential and the non-essential

Then the non-essential can be dropped easily.

There is no problem.

In fact the moment you know

That it is non-essential

It drops of its own accord.

The very seeing becomes a transformation.

The very understanding brings its own revolution.

There is no revolution apart from understanding.

Everybody comes here as a semi-precious jewel

And we start hammering and cutting.

The work is hard in the beginning.

It hurts too, it is painful.

But if you are ready to go through the process

One day only that which is real

That which is eternal will be left

And all else will disappear.

That day you have discovered yourself.

And the whole life

Is nothing but a pilgrimage to self-discovery.

In discovering oneself one discovers bliss

One discovers truth, one discovers beauty.

One discovers all the splendours

And the glories of existence.

And ultimately one discovers god.
