Someday if you intend to cross the border,
You must be close to the border,
Isn't it?
If you are deep inside,
You may not cross.
That's all I said.
I said,
Be on the edge if you want to cross over.
So living on the edge,
In many ways,
Essentially that is the fundamental thing,
That you are not stuck where you are.
Where you are is a reality,
You can't deny that.
But you try to be on the edge so that when the opportunity comes,
You jump.
Easy,
Isn't it?
Yes?
If you are stuck deep inside,
You cannot jump even if you wish.
So,
Edge.
So living on the edge,
Essentially in normal parlance,
It would mean live dangerously.
What is danger is just a question of what you are capable of and what you are not capable of,
Isn't it?
So if you want to enhance your capability,
Particularly with the inner nature,
If you are not on the edge,
Would you push your capability?
No,
You would remain stagnant.
So that's why I'm saying you must always live on the edge when it comes to within you.
You don't have to risk your physical body on the road.
That's not the point.
On the highway,
Eight,
You don't have to take a risk.
A truck is coming,
You want to run in between and see.
Just to live on the edge,
That's a foolish way of living on the edge.
But in the inner nature,
You live on the edge because there is really no danger.
Danger is a misconception.
If you fall on the street,
You will die,
Which is a danger.
If whatever you believe in right now,
Let's say,
You believe in something,
Let us say,
An ideology or a belief system or something.
So if you live on the edge with this belief system,
Constantly trying to cross the border within yourself,
Whatever happens,
What is going to happen to you,
I'm asking,
Is your life at risk?
No,
What is at risk is everything that you thought that you are may collapse.
That's the whole idea.
Your notion should go if reality has to shine,
Isn't it?
You don't have to invent reality.
If you invent it,
It's not reality,
Isn't it?
See,
This is not hard work.
This is not hard work because you don't have to create anything.
It's there.
You are inventing lot of notions.
If you stop inventing your notions,
If you simply learn to sit here quietly,
All your notions are gone,
Isn't it?
So you don't have to create anything.
You just have to stop creating.
I'm just saying just rest.
That's all spirituality is.
If you just rest,
If you really rest,
You are there.
But you won't rest.
You are chugging along all the time as if you are going somewhere.
I'm telling you,
You are not going anywhere,
You are jogging on the spot.
Jogging on the spot may be good for the physical body because it gives exercise,
But internal jogging on the spot is not doing anything.
It's just waste of time and waste of life.
I'm saying just rest.
Learn to be… just be still.
All your ills will go away.
