The possibilities are endless. Every moment, the choices are infinite. Every moment, Existence holds out for you infinite choices in Her hand, waiting for you to run into Her arms. Existence is like the mother who waits expectantly, longingly for her little child just learning to take the first steps in this world. She is waiting for you to learn to live life in the best way – live enlightenment. She is waiting eagerly for you to open her gift of life. She wants to see that joy and surprise on your face when you discover your gift and enjoy it – by living enlightenment.
God designed this world with only one purpose – to make you experience His love. Just like a lover wants to bring the moon and the stars for his beloved, the Divine not only wants to but actually gets for you the moon, stars, the whole sky and beyond. All He wants to see is a smile on your face, a blissful overflowing in your being, as you enjoy these wonderful gifts He has made just for you. There is no other purpose to life. It is a straight and simple universe inviting you to play with It, flirt with It, and experience the joy of pure romance with It.
You are not an accident; you are an incident. You are a conscious miracle of Existence. Life is not a forced happening you have to go through. Life is a living vibrant partner, playing an exciting game, a mysterious adventure that opens out new vistas in front of you every second.
Don’t let your past conditioning get in and spoil this beautiful game. It is your past conditioning that makes you classify things as good and bad, situations as pleasant and difficult, people as lovable and irritating.
Understand, whenever you think life is throwing surprises at you, life wants to understand you. It is curious to know about you, just like a mischievous, naughty little kid constantly playing with you and teasing you. It just says, ‘If I talk like this, what will you do? If I ask like this, what will you do? If I do this, what will you do?’ What you call difficult situations or people are just the naughty yet innocent pranks of the little child. Just join the game and enjoy the absolutely unpredictable ways of the little child called life – sometimes running into your arms and kissing you on your cheek, sometimes pinching your cheek and running away laughing at everything, sometimes angry and sad with you because you did not appreciate its innocent act...
Life is your partner. It is asking you, ‘If I present myself like this in front of you, what will you do?’ Just enjoy this pure romance, delicate as a rose yet strong. This is not the dead strength of a rock, it is the vibrant strength of life – it can express in infinite dimensions this moment yet the very next moment it may not even be alive. Life is just like that – intensely alive and bubbling this moment, unaffected by what can happen the very next moment.
By nature, each of us has energy inside us like a nuclear reactor. There is so much bliss, so much energy bubbling inside us right from the time we landed on planet Earth to experience the unique happening of life as a human being. All that is needed is for us to allow that energy to flow beautifully through the body-mind. Just remove the dead blocks of ego that are now in the way of the laughing, gurgling river of bliss flowing through your being.
Every moment is a gift from the Divine – the only way to pay your gratitude for the gift is to be intensely alive in this moment, to live enlightenment.
The expression of living enlightenment is experiencing complete fulfillment. You are just overflowing within yourself, so you don't need anything, you don't ask for anything. You are so full unto yourself. This is the state in which all enlightened masters live. This is the natural state in which every single human being is designed to live.
