Don’t Expect Anything

Just remember this, that if we are expecting anything from life, we will not get anything. Don’t expect and it is there in all its glory. Don’t expect, don’t ask, and it showers upon us miraculously. All its magic is there. Just wait for a little while without any thoughts… but that seems to be impossible.

Not that there are no moments when we are without thoughts. Patanjali says there are. All those who have entered into their own inner space, they know there are gaps. But we are missing them somehow, because those gaps are in the present. We jump from one thought to another, and in between was the gap. In between was the heaven - we jump from one hell to another.

In between is heaven, but we are not in that gap, we are not in between. We jump from one thought to another thought; we jump and we are lost. Each thought feeds our ego, helps us to be, defines us, gives us a boundary, a shape, a form, an identity. We don’t look in the gap between the two thoughts because to look into that gap is to look into our original face, which has no identity. To look into that gap is to look into eternity, where we are going to be lost.

We have become so afraid of looking into the gap that we have almost managed to forget them. Between two thoughts there is a gap, but we don’t see it. We see one thought, then we see another thought, then another thought…. Just watch a little. The thoughts are not overlapping. Each thought is separate. In between the two there must be a gap. There is a gap, and that interval is the door. From that door we will enter into existence again.

That door exists in all of us – we just need to meditate, find our inner space, then be in that space and from there one day the door will open and we become free!
