The Alpha and the Omega - Kabir Kadre.Com

you have heard these things. Put them aside unless
you come to know who you are. And if you go on
continuously putting the mind aside, one day there
is an explosion. The mind explodes, and all the
borrowed knowledge disappears from you. And for
the first time you are face to face with yourself,
looking within yourself. This is the opening. And
this is the way and this is the quest.
Ask who you are and don!t cling to cheap answers.
All answers that are given by others are cheap. The
real answer can only come out of you. It is just like
a real flower can only come out of the tree itself;
you cannot put it from the outside. You can, but
that will be a dead flower. It may deceive others,
but it cannot deceive the tree itself. The tree
knows that "This is just a dead flower hanging on
my branch. And this is just a weight. This is not a
happiness, this is just a burden." The tree cannot
celebrate it; the tree cannot welcome it.
The tree can welcome only something which comes
from the very roots, from its inner being,
innermost core. And when it comes from its
innermost core, the flower becomes its soul. And
through the flower the tree expresses its dance, its
song. Its whole life becomes meaningful. Just like
that, the answer will come out of you, out of your
roots. Then you will dance it. Then your whole life
will become meaningful.
If the answer is given from without, it will be just a
sign, a dead sign. If it comes from within, it will not
be a sign, it will be a significance. Remember these
two words # "sign" and "significance". Sign can be
given from without; significance can only flower
from within. Philosophy works with signs,
concepts, words. Religion works with significance.
It is not concerned with words and signs and
symbols.
But that is going to be an arduous journey for
yourself because nobody can help really, and all the
helpers are, in a way, hindrances. If somebody is
too much patronizing and gives you the answer, he
is your enemy. Patanjali is not going to give you the
answer, he is only going to indicate you the path,
the way from where your own answer will arise,
from where you will encounter the answer.
The great Masters have given only methods, they
have not given the answer. Philosophers have given
answers, but Patanjali, Jesus or Buddha, they have
not given answers. You ask for answers and they
give you methods, they give you techniques. You
have to work your answer out yourself, through
your effort, through your suffering, through your
penetration, through your TAPASCHARYA.
Only the answer can come, and it can become a
significance. Your fulfillment is through it.
