Let Your 'Why?' Be Alive

Listen, this one truth you need to understand very sincerely: "thought flow" and "being flow". If the thought flow is not connected to your being, thought flow will be forgotten.

Many a time, you build so much of anger to go and attack your friend, shout at him, and scream at him. But by the time you reach his house, you forget all the points; you forget why you should scream at him and what you are supposed to say. When you go there, you say, 'I came for a cup of coffee. I forgot the other things. When I remember, I will come back!' When you remember, he is not there! If somebody records your whole day and you see it, you will either understand that you are already mad, or you are going to become mad! And if others see it, it will be a comedy show! For you it will be tragi-comedy; for others it will be pure comedy!

Understand, one of the biggest loss human-beings suffer from is this: the thought current and the being flow, both getting separated. It is literally like your life being stolen away from you. Neither you know, nor anybody else knows, what for you are doing what you are doing.

Suppose you come to our ashram's Welcome Center and the guy who is sitting there beats you left and

right! And you ask, 'Why I am being beaten?' He says, 'Go and ask my superior.' Then you go to the superior, 'and he says, 'Go and ask the Structuring Department.' You go to the Structuring Department, and he says, 'Go and ask the Administration.' You ask the Administration, and they say, 'Ask Swamiji!' And you come to Swamiji and I say, 'No, I don't know!' Then who is responsible for what is going on? Understand, exactly this is the way your being is functioning.

You don't take all your actions and thinking to the logical conclusion. 99% of the time, after you get the beating, when the Welcome Center guy says, 'Ask my superior', you don't go to the superior. Even if you go to the superior and the superior says, 'Ask the Admin team', you don't go to the Admin team. Even if you go to the Admin team and they say, 'Go to Structuring… that's it! 100% of the people never cross Structuring! Understand, in your case also, you do not discover the "Why", "For What" and "How" you are doing things.

Every day you feel certain powerless moments – bored, tired, thinking, 'Why is this life like this?' You feel, but you never take that to the logical conclusion. You don't ask yourself till you get the answer. Why? Why? Why? You don't take your thoughts, words, deeds to the logical conclusion. See, the "Why" in you should be so alive, like a fire that it should burn all the karmas. I tell you, just if the "Why" is alive, 'Why I am feeling powerless?', 'Why I am feeling tired?', 'Why I am feeling sick?', 'Why I am feeling depressed?', just if the "Why" is strong enough to take you to the logical conclusion, your problems will be solved.

Sometimes I can see that people are so crazy! It is not that they are not sincere. They are very sincere to the ideal they have taken up. But they will exactly do the opposite thing. Because the attitude of asking "Why" needs awareness, and you forget to ask "Why". You forget to sustain your being with your thought current. Your being always gets disconnected from your thought current. Your thought goes on independently, independent of your being. This is the most unfortunate thing. It is literally like you are robbed of your life.
