Everything, whether manifest or unmanifest, goes on changing.
Understand, whatever you think as your life, is nothing but illusory sufferings and delusory joys. All your joys are created by delusion, and your fears are created by illusion. The incidents of your life can neither be changed by your illusion nor be changed by your delusion. Illusion and
delusion come up and go down. When you understand that, a deep restful awareness happens in your system which goes on inspiring you to exist, to be alive, to live, to share life.
Tomorrow's events cannot be changed by the person who is sitting and talking with you today, but if he is able to convince you logically, you will suddenly get out of the fear of tomorrow's events. For example, you are worrying about some problem which may happen after ten days. You are worrying, worrying,
worrying, and somebody comes and
adds more fear into it. Both the
delusion which gives the fear, and the
illusion which takes away the fear are
in no way connected to the incident,
which may or may not happen. In no
way can it be changed by somebody
sitting and talking with you for half an
hour.
But you have the tremendous fear - how is that future incident going to happen, how is it going to be, will it be frightening or joyful?
Understand the truth: it is going to be neither frightening nor joyful; it is going to be life. Auspicious! Life is auspicious! Life means adding, adding, adding. It is your delusory idea about joy, your delusory idea about fear, which is the salt of your life. It turns the fresh river water of life into salty ocean water. Otherwise, the incident itself adds, adds, adds, adds; that's all. Understand, any addition is auspicious. Because you always existed, are existing, and are going to exist, you can have only auspiciousness.
Drop your interpretation and understanding about auspiciousness. Relax from the delusory fears and illusory joys. Let the incident happen the way in which it is supposed to happen. Let the flow happen the way in which it is supposed to happen. The incident itself can be changed neither by your illusion nor by your delusion.
