WHO IS HERE?
Truth is -- you have nothing to do for it; you have just to be. Truth is already there. You
are not to invent it, you have only to discover it. Even that word is not right, because truth
is not covered -- your being is covered.
It is as if the sun has risen but you are sitting with closed eyes. The sun is not covered,
only your eyes are covered. Open your eyes and the light is there. If you are in darkness it
is because you are keeping your eyes shut.
When I say just be, I mean be open. I mean don't try to be something else. Because in the
very effort of being somebody else you will be strained, you will be tense, you will be
under a stress, and you will remain closed. You can open only when you accept
whatsoever you are.
If a rose is trying to be a lotus, it will not be possible for it to be a rose. The whole effort
will make it so tense. A rose is a rose; that's why it opens and becomes a rose. There is no
problem about it. Don't try to be something else other than you are. Don't try to become
some ideal. That's what I mean when I say just be.
Being is a state of tremendous opening, of immense silence, no desire, no effort. You are
just here, present. You are just a presence. In that presence all happens -- because in that
presence you are so alert that nothing by-passes you. In that silence you start hearing god,
you start seeing god. In that silence visions open, doors of the unknown open. The
mystery is clear. But you have to be in that state. That's what meditation is all about just
to be.
