dancing round the centre
The day the inner flute begins playing -- in fact the day it is heard, because it is constantly playing; you pay a little attention to it and it is heard -- that is it! All your senses forget all about the milking and churning, they forget the water pots, they drop their work and start running intoxicated towards it. This is the ultimate state, where the flute of the inner Krishna is playing, and all the senses start dancing around him. The periphery starts dancing round the centre. They have called this state raas, this phenomenon of Krishna dancing and the gopis dancing around him. You are in a reverse state; the gopis are running away and you are running after them! And remember, no gopi ever desires the one who runs after her. The moment you ran after a gopi she is gone after someone else; you have become worthless to her. The very fact of your running after reveals that you are not even your own master, so how can you be entitled to master others? A man running after the senses... even the senses realize how worthless you are. You have no substance; you are running after the insignificant. Become conscious! Meditation will make you conscious. Meditation will change the dimension of your journey. And once you begin hearing the inner melody, the revolution has happened. Now the senses will be at their posts and will be healthy. Their dance will also continue -- because there is no disturbance of any kind from their dance -- but they will be on the periphery, at their respective places. They will move with you, they will be your shadow. And the one who found this inner Rama, this interiority, has nothing more to attain. Only then contentment happens, never before this. Lin Chi is right when he says that the only miracle he is aware of is contentment: I have only one miracle, and that is contentment. And the day you will also be a little contented, you will know that all other miracles are only childish nonsense and belong to street jugglers. They are not signs of maturity. Maturity longs for only one thing and that is such a contentment which lacks nothing; such a perfect contentment beyond which there remains nothing to be achieved; a contentment which is so total that every cell and every pore of your body overflows with the delight, the thankfulness and the gratitude towards the divine. This can happen. All arrangements for it to happen are within you; just a slight rearranging is all that is needed. All the ingredients are present, only a small change has to be managed... You have the flour, you have the water, and the oven is lit. All you have to do is make the dough, roll it into bread and bake it, and the hunger will be satiated. But you sit there, with the flour and water and burning fire -- but weeping! You have everything, just a small re-organizing... And this reorganizing is the spiritual discipline.
