Suffering Comes Only From Separation

Very beautifully George Gurdjeif, one of the greatest modern revolutionary Masters says - only if you identify yourself with me, be around me. If you think you are separate, I am separate, then this is not the place for you, because constantly you will feel threatened by me. If you are blissful around the Master, be very clear you are enlightened.

There is a very beautiful Nithyananda Zen koan written by one of my disciples: "If you are living with the Master and still he is not driving you crazy, up the wall, either he is not enlightened, or you are not living with him!'

As long as you think you are a separate entity other than your highest reality, he will be driving you crazy; constantly shaking the very roots on which you build your foundation. But if you identify with him, with your highest reality, this is the most fortunate thing can happen on the planet Earth, because without any effort the Ultimate will just happen in you. The Ultimate will just happen in you without any effort.
