Mystery

Everything passes, but you remain. You are the reality; everything else is just a dream. Beautiful dreams are there, nightmares are there… But it does not matter whether it is a beautiful dream or a nightmare; what matters is the one who is seeing the dream. That seer is the only reality. The seer is something absolutely eternal. Just a little glimpse of it and all your problems will start disappearing, because a totally new perspective will arise — a new vision, a new way of life, a new way of seeing things, seeing people, responding to situations. And the seer is always present, twenty-four hours day; whatever you are doing or not doing, it is there. It has been there for centuries, for eternity, waiting for you to take note of it. Perhaps because it has been always there, that’s why you have forgotten it. The obvious is always forgotten. When you are feeling a well-being, euphoria; remember it. When you are in misery, in anguish, remember it In all climates, in all moods — go on remembering it. Soon you will be able to remain centered in it, there will be no need to remember. And that is the greatest day in one’s life.
