I tell you, real peace is when the mind which asks for peace explodes into pieces! That is when the real peace happens.
What you think of as peace is the tamasic tiredness, chronic fatigue. That is why, whenever life comes in front of you, you just jump into some cave. You always wanted to have a cozy cave. But understand, even your cave is inside my Himalayas! Even if you catch a cave, I am the walls of that cave!
A real Master will go on pushing you. The right Master will go on pushing you continuously to move forward, and he will never give you the feeling that you are done. He will not encourage your fatigue, your tiredness. He will never run a resort. He will only run a commune. Maybe after his death, his disciples will change the name into a resort. He himself will never run a resort!
The person who asks for the
peace of the resort out of
fatigue and tiredness will
never be allowed in the
presence of a living Master.
It is the mind which asks,
once in a while, I think I
need to rest. I think I need a
break. Yes, it needs a break!
The mind which asks for the
break needs to be broken;
that is the break it needs!
A real Master will never show you the kind of sympathy that the world shows you. Your mind learns very early in life that if you impose suffering on yourself, the world will give you sympathy. It is one of the biggest collective delusions human beings suffer with. That is why, when kids don't want to go to school on Monday morning, they pull the blanket over their head and say, I have a stomach pain, I have a headache. And this stomach pain and headache cannot be diagnosed by any doctor!
A real Master will never let you rest in what you call as peace. What you call as peace is just based in more tamas, dullness, and depression. For samadhi to happen, the mind which keeps asking for a vacation, for rest and peace, has to be blown away. It should explode to pieces. Only then peace happens.
