Only a king can enter into enlightenment, because he knows there is nothing in the outer space that can fulfill him. He has seen everything; all possible comforts, enjoyments and pleasures. If somebody who has not experienced depression of success enters spirituality, he will stand in front of God and beg, ‘God give me this, give me that.’
He may be a religious person, but never a spiritual person. Only a person who trusts that God has the power and the intelligence, can enter spirituality, trusting implicitly that He knows when to give and what to give.
One cannot tell this ultimate truth to a person who is not ready. If it is shared it should become a source of inspiration that transforms your life. By sharing the spiritual experience, if it gives you the courage to take the same jump, if you also feel, 'I think I should also experience the same joy, the same bliss, I should not postpone it,' if it becomes an inspiration for you, then it is worth sharing.
Listen. There was a great Master in South India. He sang a set of poems on Śiva. He did not even write, he just sang the verses. Close disciples who lived around him requested him to put it in writing so that it could be useful to society. He said, 'No, they are my intimate love letters to my Lord. It is my personal relationship. How can I publish it?' the Master says, 'If somebody comes and asks you about your personal life, you can't share it. Only if you become intimate with him, it is possible to open up.'
