“First thing: There is no need to survive in this world. This world is a
madhouse. There is no need to survive in it. There is no need to
survive in the world of ambition, politics, ego. It is the disease. But
there is another way to be, and the whole religious standpoint is: You
can be in this world and not be of it. “When I listen to my feelings, my
inner voice, they tell me to do nothing.…” Then don’t do anything.
There is nobody higher than you, and God speaks to you directly. Start
trusting your inner feelings. Then don’t do anything. If you feel just
to sleep, eat, and play on the beach, perfect. Let that be your
religion. Don’t be afraid then. You will have to drop fear. And if it is
a question of choosing between the inner feeling and the fear, choose
the inner feeling. Don’t choose the fear. So many people have chosen
their path out of fear, so they live in a limbo, they live in
indecision. Fear is not going to help. Fear always means the fear of the
unknown. Fear always means the fear of death. Fear always means the
fear of being lost—but if you really want to be alive, you have to
accept the possibility of being lost. You have to accept the insecurity
of the unknown, the discomfort and the inconvenience of the unfamiliar,
the strange. That is the price one has to pay for the blessing that
follows it, and nothing can be achieved without paying for it. You have
to pay for it: Otherwise you will remain fear-paralyzed. Your whole life
will be lost. Enjoy whatsoever your inner feeling is.”
