So Beautiful That It Finds You

When
you are out walking and you become tired you stop, you sit down, you
relax. So when you get tired of trying to find solutions to your problems,
when you find no solution, sit down. By sit down I mean, don’t try
to solve the problem at all - the problem is in the past, it is not
now. Don't think about past problems, just leave them alone and sit
down. This is the moment of relaxation. You only have to allow this,
listen to it, do not do anything. Just listen: Don't go to the past.
The past is a problem, the past is mind. When you go to the past all
will be problems so don't go to the past. The mind is the past and
the past is a graveyard. Don't go to the graveyard. All problems are
dead, so return to this moment without trying to solve the problem.
Trying has put you in trouble, so don't touch this trying any more.
Simply
sit down, keep quiet. Keep quiet for one moment. This is the moment
you need, this is the moment of rest. Keep quiet for a moment without
going to the past and you will find relaxation. There is no other
way - simply do not think of the past. First help yourself - which
means to not think - and then if you still need to you can ask me
for help.
Just
for this moment do not think, but direct your mind to its Source.
Bring the mind which is thinking - which is going to the past - to
face this present moment, and this will give you eternal rest. Help
yourself not to look to past moments and do you find any problems?
In this moment, without going to the past, where is the problem? Has
it gone away? Then you have helped yourself. This is truly Self help.
You
cannot buy this in the market, you cannot acquire it, you cannot purchase
it. It is not something to be had. It is something that is already
here. Do not try to get things, to achieve things, to attain things
which are not already here, because whatever is absent - once you
get it - will also be lost. Instead of reaching out after anything
which is absent discover that which is already here, which you do
not need to try and attain. This will be something fresh, something
which is here, which is now. Give up your desire to get something
tomorrow, do not allow this desire to stir, to rise up form the ground
of mind. Abandon all your desires to get something which you do not
already have. No desire is needed for that which you already have
here.
Instead
of trying to get it offer yourself up so it can get you. Be so beautiful
that this will be attracted by your beauty. It will come and get you
instead of you getting it. Who are you to get it, anyway? Allow yourself
to be taken by it - that's the only way. You must be immaculate, which
means to be without desire. Your own nature is immaculate so sooner
or later you will know this. When there is no desire there is Beauty,
there is Love. You cannot disturb this beauty even by giving rise
to a thought to get it. This thought will only be an impurity. Make
sure that no desire arises and you will be so immaculately beautiful
- so perfectly pure and spotless - that everything will be instantaneously
unfolded before you. Then this beauty will hug Beauty itself. Simply
keep quiet. Do not do anything and it will happen. Abandon even the
intention to get something in the next moment. Do not even make the
distinction between "this moment" and "the next moment".
Then something will happen instantaneously.
