Discourse 14
A Rock among the Waves
A Rock among the Waves
28 December 1987 am in Gautam the Buddha Auditorium
Question 1
BELOVED MASTER,
AS YOU GREET US, AND AGAIN AS YOU LEAVE, YOU ARE
POURING YOUR ENERGY ON US. HOW COME MY BODY DOESN’T
GRACEFULLY BOW DOWN TO YOU? I KNOW MY HEART
DOES!
AM I A ROCK AMONG THE WAVES?
Deva Ashu, I myself have been watching. On your face there is
some stoniness, and you stand out because everybody is bowing
down and you remain stiff. Now you yourself have asked the
question.
The first thing: it is very difficult to know your heart, and it is very
easy to say anything about your heart. It is something invisible, non-
objective. But your face, your eyes, your body, give indications
of your heart. So please, don’t be deluded that your heart is full of
grace and the body seems like a rock in the river.
The heart is part of your body. If the heart is graceful, the body is a
very obedient servant. It simply follows the heart. But you have not
mentioned anything about your face, naturally, because you
cannot see it. I have seen your face.
You have been deeply connected with me. Deva Ashu has been my
personal dental nurse. That’s where the problem is – you must have
come with unconscious expectations that you would be
received in the same way as you have been received for many
years. But life stops for no one; now somebody else is functioning in
your place, and that must be the basic wound in your being....
