Everything, whether
manifested or
unmanifested, goes on
changing.
Understand, whatever
you think of as your life
is nothing but delusory
sufferings and illusory
joys. All your joys are
created by delusion, and
your fears are created by illusion. The incident itself can neither be changed by your illusion nor 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 are not going to be changed by the person who is sitting and talking with you today, but if he is able to logically convince you, you will suddenly get out of the fear of tomorrow's events. Or suppose 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, because your joys are illusory and pains are delusory.
Then comes the tremendous fear: how is the incident going to happen, how is it going to be, will it frightening or joyful? Understand the truth. It is neither going to be frightening nor joyful. It is going to be life. It will be auspicious, because life is always auspicious!
Life is additive, cumulative. Life means adding, adding, adding. It is your delusory ideas about joy and fear which are the salt of your life, which make sweet water into salty ocean water. Otherwise the incident itself adds, adds, adds, adds; that's all. Understand, any addition is auspicious.
Drop your interpretations and understanding about auspiciousness. Let the incident happen in the way in which it is supposed to happen. Let the flow happen in the way in which it is supposed to happen. The incident itself can neither be changed by your illusion nor by your delusion.
So relax from your delusory fears and illusory joys. Because you always existed, are existing, and are going to exist, you can have only auspiciousness!
