She was listening to a folk song about life. The essence
of the song was to say, nothing is permanent in life so live like a guest on
this planet. The message has truth in it, she said listen to this song how good
it is. He asked her a question, what is the use of listening to this? She said
we must listen whenever someone tells something good. He said what is the use,
right after completion of that song if we are back in our daily routine? When
we don’t give serious thought about it, what is the use of listening? Is it
listening at all? She said you are always negative, that is the reason no one
likes your books. Of course she told him humorously. He has given serious
thought about it, these are his findings.
This is the problem with most of us, while we are getting
entertained we think we are changing. We want to continue psychological patterns
we build for security. Understanding requires your energy, which is attention
then it turns into action. We are aware that we are not behaving in righteous
manner, we cover it up by identifying with something which is good. When
one who is deeply interested in change, for a good society points out all these
things we call them negative. They are negative because they are asking you to
move, the reality is they are asking out of love and compassion. They can see
clearly that in the patterns created by thought, there is no security. These
patterns are based on pleasure and pain not on truth. The desire for
psychological continuity is not a good foundation for life. The foundation is
important, and it must be strong.
