Where you will find God
Sometimes, sticking to the same routine will be very difficult. But what to do? That pays your bills, that makes you rich. Society is in the hands of people who want you to go through the same kind of routine. That is why if you are not sticking to one routine, guilt is inserted into your head. I cannot believe a routine religion. You go at a particular time to a particular place, and the particular thing is done and you become enlightened. That will never happen.
Let you be very clear: when you come and sit with me, I may just create a strong inspiration
- churning - in you and send you back. But how that churning expresses itself, how that seeking expresses itself, I too don't know. I do run a temple, I do run a monastery and in that I do maintain time. From morning to evening they do certain things. But I always see that the seeking is again and again awakened, people are again and again put in insecurity. I have different ways of giving them the lessons. The problem is because society has corrupted human beings so thoroughly that if they don't have timings, even for spirituality, they don't think that they are really doing something. So at the initial level, I do put them through that.
But understand now I am opening a new dimension, expressing the truth in a much more pure form. If you want today to be a spiritual day, just do only one thing: do not think or wish to have the assurance for the next 24 hours. Just be very clear in your inner

Courage is totally different, it is a beautiful word. Courage is needed only to live, without planning or knowing your next steps. If you think you know your next 24 hours, what does it mean? You are going to repeat the same acts that you did in the last 24 hours, maybe with a little alteration, that's all. You will be going back and making the same dinner, in the same way, at the same table, on the same seat. You will not even be aware. Sometimes you will be eating in the same way, same food. For the same way, same food, same place - you don't need to be alive! Understand: that is why, by and by, the life flow in your being starts reducing, your frequency comes down.
Before enlightenment, the highest energy and life which I experienced was when I lived with utter insecurity in my wandering days. That was the best time in my life. I always try to remind people: your routine clearly sends the message to your inner consciousness that you don't need to be present inside your body. You are nothing more than a robot.
If you can live with utter insecurity in the inner world and outer world, suddenly you will see new doors opening in your inner space. You will be so much alive inside your body. I tell you an important technique for anti-aging. Anti-aging is called kaayakalpa in our traditional Vedic system. If you want to reverse your aging process, just live without your so called security in the inner world and outer world.
