All Truth passes ...

"All Truth passes through 3 stages: First, it is ridiculed; Second, it is violently opposed; Third,... it is accepted as self-evident." -Arthur Schopenhauer.

If you have ever taken a stand on an unpopular but true issue; we find Schopenhauer's statement true both on an individual and a collective basis.
As teachers of the "unconventional" this is a common and obvious occurrence. First you're an crazy, then they are angry and finally they suddenly knew it all along. lol.
Some belief systems are tough to bring down even with; full conscious cooperation, NLP, hypnosis, EFT, or energy work especially where there is personal pride.
Love conquers all in the end but there is always free will. Some are just unwilling to see their world any other way. And that's another issue; they just aren't ready yet.
So, just look'm in the eye, smile, Bless them and wish them well : )
But always ask,"What is here for me to learn about myself and all others that is not immediately apparent?"

"Okay. I am going to wake up now." ... Really ...

I don't know the responsibility of the leader; I don't know the responsibility of the led.

I know the responsibility of love. I know the responsibility of the beloved. When love calls you, listen to it. That's the only responsibility. When love says something to you, let it enter into the deepest core of your being.

When love knocks on your door, open the door.... See More

The real beloved, in fact, does not close the door at all, but waits at the door for the lover to come, so that he need not even knock.

Sannyas is a love affair. It has nothing to do with ruled and the rulers, leaders and the led. It has certainly to do with love and lovers.
And the beauty of love is: it does not create hierarchy.

I may be enlightened, you may not be enlightened, but because I love you, I am not holier than you. Because I love you, I declare that you have every capacity, ability, potentiality to be enlightened. It is just a question of your decision.

But I cannot impose the decision on you. At the most, love persuades. And love has many ways to persuade. It is only hate that imposes.
Just looking into your eyes is a persuasion, is a message.

Just the gesture of my hand is to touch your heart.

The silence that I love -- and I speak only to give you these few small pauses of silence. Just look at this silence, and we all have become one. All divisions are lost and there is an immense peace, a tremendous feeling of joy arising in you.

I want to give you the taste of enlightenment in as many ways as possible, so one day finally you say, "Okay. I am going to wake up now."
