The fact is that I share nothing other than What You Are. So, this is permeated with a very real power. I lead you to yourself. I give you to yourself. I bring you the scent of your Real Identity, which is Happiness, Love, Peace, the Completeness, where nothing lacks.
You ask, "Where is there someone living That?" There cannot be "someone" living That! This can only be present when there is no "someone," that is, when there is no more search. That is why you do not find That in philosophy, in religion, in spiritual practices... This is not present in any practice. This is present when "you" are not present. This is the end of practices, the end of the search for virtues, for personal improvement, for evolution... This is the absence of the ego, the absence of the "me," of the "I."
Thus, That – as the only "Real Thing" – cannot be compared to anything at all, since nothing compares to That! That is unreplaceable, as nothing would be able to replace It! Therefore, you should not think, create ideas about It, nor try to compare It to human relationships, to external accomplishments. You cannot put That at the same level of all these things. All this has to disappear! You have to sacrifice everything for That, for this Realization, for this existing Presence, which is Consciousness, Reality, the Truth.
True Happiness is to Be That! It is not about finding solutions, since there are no problems to be solved. When you stop going outside, when you stop looking for something there, problems disappear, since there is no "you" anymore. Then, Happiness – previously ashamed for being replaced by desires and accomplishments – returns, appears again; and then Love – that you tried to replace by pleasant connections with the opposite sex or with the common sex – also returns; They leave the hiding place and come back to you.
The same thing happens to Peace – ashamed and hidden since you were loving conflict, loving to fight, to misunderstand, to think, to create arguments – It returns and takes back Its place. Love assumes the place that always belonged to it. Happiness returns home... This is Enlightenment!
Wisdom – also hidden due to your thought-based actions, and therefore stupid ones – comes back again, bringing Compassion, Beauty, Truth, Clarity, Sincerity, Honesty.
Truth is not a dogma, not a creed. Truth is the Realization, is the Blossom of Christ, the Blossom of God – you blossoming like God, like Christ. That’s when your speech is your own message, not a message borrowed from theology, from the sacred books, from the Sutras, from the Upanishads, from the Vedas, from the Koran, from the Bible... It is your message, because it is your Realization. That is why Jesus said, "Let your light shine!" It is your light that must shine, and not mine. Do not talk about my light. Make your light shine!
When you realize Christ, you are the Christ! I am not talking about the carpenter of Nazareth. No one can be the carpenter of Nazareth, the historical figure who walked on the shores of Galilee. Krishna and Buddha were unique as well. This is not their time, but your time. Stop talking about them and talk about Yourself, your Compassion, your Love, your Truth, your Wisdom, your Authenticity. Speak of Yourself, which is the "I am.”
You do not need to quote anyone to assign authenticity to your voice, to provide truth to your speech. Your Being is the authenticity of your voice and also of your silence. When you are real, everything becomes real: your speech, your silence, your movements, your gestures, your acts, your non-acts... Everything that comes from you, from your Being, is real.
When you claim for yourself the authority to speak from your Being, you are either a madman or a Sage. Without any collaboration, without any help, without any academic, philosophical, spiritualistic support, either you speak like a madman or like a Sage.
So, I do not know which category I fit in, but I know it is funny.
