Discourse 15
For No Reason at All
For No Reason at All
28 December 1987 pm in Gautam the Buddha Auditorium
Question 1
BELOVED MASTER,
THE MORE I TRUST IN MEDITATION THE MORE I FEEL MY HEART
OPENING AND VASTLY PRESENT. AT THE SAME TIME I LOSE
KNOWLEDGE ABOUT WHO I AM, WHY I AM HERE AND
FOR WHAT. I CAN’T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT EXCEPT WATCH,
CRY, LAUGH, SING, GIGGLE.
SOMETHING IS HAPPENING FOR WHICH I HAVE NO NAME. IT IS
JUST THROBBING. THE OTHER NIGHT IWOKE UP SUDDENLY
KNOWING, OH, I AM JUST HUMAN, A HUMAN BEING. IT
SOUNDS FUNNY, BELOVED MASTER, BUT IT’S BEEN SUCH A JOY
FEELING SO ACCEPTED.
WOULD YOU PLEASE HELP ME UNDERSTAND WHAT IS
HAPPENING?
Arunima, the question you have put is not coming from your mind;
that’s why it looks a little strange.
Mind is very clever – it knows how to ask a question. It does not
know any answer as such.
Whenever such a thing happens to a meditator – which is bound to
happen if you don’t stop before reaching your inner being – that
you suddenly feel a change of climate; the questioning mind is no
longer there and you are standing before the answer, it certainly
feels very weird. You don’t have a question – what is this answer all
about? Our very training is that the question should come first and
then the answer.
But existence is absolutely, fortunately, uneducated. It brings the
answer first and then you have to start questioning: What is
happening? Where am I...?
